What do you think of Reshiram and Zekrom?
 
What do you think of these two new legendaries, good or bad or even worse?

lusterclaw June 2nd, 2010 1:17 AM

they are pretty good but one of them has the same body of palkia

shengar June 2nd, 2010 2:16 AM

Some part of them can be good, some can be worse than previous one.

Ziraider June 2nd, 2010 3:00 AM

Yeah, they look pretty good. the Black version looks the best in my opinion.

Shinjiro June 2nd, 2010 3:10 AM

No other than awesome! Though the design is too complicated so I can't draw them. But still like both!

s0nido June 2nd, 2010 3:13 AM

They look too much like Palkia. They're also pretty similar. I really hope that they change. :/

Hybrid Theory June 2nd, 2010 3:16 AM

I think they look pretty cool. Although they do resemble the fouth gen legendaries abit imo.

How the hell do either of them look like palkia? Maybe you haven't seen a palkia properly, you know... IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR PRIVET! (Well if your male LOL)

PiPVoda June 2nd, 2010 7:26 AM

Pretty tight...Reshiram pwns Zekrom imo though.

dieter57 June 2nd, 2010 1:19 PM

i like them both! yay for black and white!

TaylorMcIntire June 2nd, 2010 1:27 PM

I see a close resemblance to Palkia, but I must admit that it still looks awesome.

Magmarizer June 2nd, 2010 1:32 PM

Im pretty sure zekrom will be electric type, it just confirmed it imo with the news story on serebii.

Eeohnex June 2nd, 2010 1:47 PM

Zekrom reminds me a lot of Palkia in some way, he looks like a total beast.

grey†fish June 2nd, 2010 1:57 PM

Zekrom is EPIC!

… Reshiram not so much :\

but anyways, I really hope that Zekrom is an electric-type so it can be a personification of thunder or something…

I have to say that I'm really(x10) disappointed that they're both dragon-types as of now… that sucks :(

Haza June 2nd, 2010 1:59 PM

The more I compare him to Palkia the less he looks like her. It's crazy how awesome the Sugimari art looks when it is the current generation compared to the last, but when a newer Pokemon comes out, then the last generations start to look even older. That's how I feel when comparing Zekrom and Palkia.

ichuesther June 2nd, 2010 2:48 PM

People go way over the top when a new generation comes out lol.
Hm, I think Gamefreak is smarter than to add three typed pokemoninto the game and piss everyone off.
Or maybe there are some people who want three typed pokemon.
Why not? x)

digi-kun June 2nd, 2010 2:54 PM

MY DRILL IS ONE THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!
(Reshiram's heaven, cuz it totally looks like the drill fits into Reshiram's...tail thing)

Totally gonna nickname them Gurren and Lagann. or Antispiral on Zekrom if it fits

WriteThemWrong June 2nd, 2010 3:03 PM

they look like freaks of nature. just hope some of the regulars are as great

You win this thread. Permanently.

IsThatAnUmbreonIsee? June 2nd, 2010 4:19 PM

this will never happen it opens the door for x6 advantageswarping the game beyon comprehension

Honest June 2nd, 2010 7:18 PM

Both look epic, but I like Zekrom more.... probably since it's so much like Palkia, who I also love. =P

I'm not surprised that Nintendo hasn't lost its creativity. xD Zekrom being part electric would be awesome!

Ninja Caterpie June 2nd, 2010 11:02 PM

x8 weaknesses are just too much, man.

TaylorMcIntire June 3rd, 2010 7:44 AM

I am definitely going to have to choose Zekrom.

Alkaide June 3rd, 2010 7:50 AM

I too think that Zekrom is a very good choice.

I feel that most of the people like ZEKROM. ;)

Of course! When the first time I saw those two I really don't like them and me and my friend and the other members said like this,

Me : Man! I wonder when we'll get the Legendary mascots!
Other member : Hey guys! Check this out! (Showing the Link)
Me : Huh? Those two look cool! But We'll just have to wait when will the Legend reveal!
My friend : Ummm...those ARE the mascots!
Me : What?!! Ow don't tell me!
Other member : It's okay idiot! I'm not telling you either.
Me : Shut it you wimp! I'm wasn't asking you either!
Other member : Sorry~
Me : Ow Man! The White one is the worst!
Other member : Thought so...
Me : Hey does anyone know which is the Black version mascot?
My Friend : Oh! The White one would be the Black mascot...
Me : Grrrr! That's it! Get out of my mindBlack version! And Welcome to my mind White version! Haaahahaha! :D

Palkia June 3rd, 2010 8:27 AM

Zekrom looks cool.

Reshiram just looks like a pokemon fusion gone wrong.

DarkSlayer1331 June 3rd, 2010 8:37 AM

Well I guess I'm the only one, and I expect people to be like "wtf are you talking about???" but... I really am not impressed with these legends. They honestly look to me like they belong in some kind of mythical creature smackdown game. Like WWE for fantasy creatures or something. Say what you want, but this is my own personal opinion. I'm especially disappointed that they decided to go with Dragons again for the legends. I was hoping for something different.

fenyx4 June 3rd, 2010 10:06 AM

This is the announcement I have been waiting for all year! The legendaries are one of the main reasons I'm still into Pokemon... :D Reshiram and Zecrom FTW!

As for critique...those are the best tails on any animal/beast/monster I have ever seen... I've always wanted a drill-tail concept, but I'd figured it would get ruined if implemented... but these TURBINE TAILS look EPIC!

Both Pokemon look awesome! Game Freak is on a fiery streak so far with their release of Generation V Pokemon! I'm extremely annoyed by the switch thing, though... Confusion ensues...

Reshiram looks mystical, while Zecrom looks like a freaking threat. You would not want to encounter that [Zecrom] anywhere (unless it was on your side :D). I love the names as well, as they signify that each Pokemon is turning to their respective color.

Reshiram reminds me of the concept of reishi from Bleach, coupled with the term 'ram', resulting in the Pokemon personification of spiritual energy ramming into your enemies. Which is freaking awesome.

I like how Zecrom feels when you say it. :) Something powerful and enigmatic, yet seldom seen. Originally, I wanted a 'u' in there to make Zecurom, but now I feel that would distort the name too much for my liking.

As much as I like Dragons, this typing thing (which isn't actually confirmed, as these guys may be dragon-like similar to Charizard and Gyarados) is a bit much. I'm wondering what their sibling, if any exists, will be... Zecrom being dual-type Dragon/Electric or Dragon/Light would be interesting. Well, at least the Dragon-type matches the epicness of Reshiram and Zecrom in a way... 2 Dragon trios could be awesome, though, if implemented correctly...

Either Reshiram, Zecrom, or their 'sibling' should learn Luster Purge... Fits with the whole monochrome idea. These guys made me have an idea that in the plot, there should be an event where one of them causes the overworld and battle scenery to go monochrome/black-and-white for a while. Then it'd sort of feel like you were playing a Generation I game in Gen V!

Ugh...the version switch thing is just what bothers me. How can you have a vicious menace like Zecrom representing the color white? From the outset, one could think it was full of malice or something from its portrayal/design... I get the yin-yang symbolism, but still... :\

Keep up the excellent work with Pokemon designs, Game Freak! :D

Haza June 3rd, 2010 12:57 PM

I think the the third one should be gray with purple eyes, and should be Psychic/Dragon or Ice/Dragon.

crehym June 3rd, 2010 3:59 PM

At first, I thought Reshiram was so cool, but then I realized how epic Zekrom's design is. But both are effin awesome. and epic really.

Livewire June 3rd, 2010 7:24 PM

it looks like ill be buying white then, especially if Zekrom turns out to be Dragon/Electric. Awesome typing there.

im guessing reshiram will be like Dragon/Ice then, it just looks like an ice type to me. and we need more ice legends (besides Arty) or some other unique combo

Air Pichu June 3rd, 2010 7:28 PM

I will be getting Pokemon White probably. Zekrom looks so strong I like it instead of Reshiram.

Vrai June 4th, 2010 9:21 AM

I don't see where you guys are seeing any resemblance to Palkia. I see none. ):

Anyway, as for my thoughts, I can really see Zekrom as a Dragon/Electric type. Look at it's tail... does nothing about that scream "generator" to you? And the appendage on its head looks like a lightning bolt, too..

And if Zekrom is indeed Dragon/Electric, Reshiram must be Dragon/Fire, I think. His tail, in comparison with Sir Generator Tail, is like a celestial torch. And then look at this:

Maybe the plot will have to do with the legendaries doing something to the sky..?

JackGamer June 4th, 2010 9:29 AM

They're awesome :3
I lovelovelove Reshiram. I'm definately getting Pokemon Black now haha.

(btw this is my first post here, so hi! *waves*) :D

Spinosaurus June 4th, 2010 2:34 PM

I'll get Zekrom, giant dragon robots of destruction is a must have. Reshiram is OK, I like the wings and the tail.

Blubber300 June 4th, 2010 3:46 PM

why the **** is there a jet turbine on Zekrom's @$$??

lucy_goosey June 6th, 2010 1:01 AM

Well I didn't know which version to get but these legendaries have made the decision for me. Pokemon Black it is! Reshiram is just amazing!

Adley June 6th, 2010 5:13 AM

So far, I prefer the look of Zekrom. But, once I know the second types, I'll be sure which I prefer. I hope none are like Palkia, whose types didn't complement each other well

Thingula June 6th, 2010 5:39 AM

The black one looks cool and scarry, but I like the white one, too. Maybe I'll get both.

solaris knight June 6th, 2010 11:20 AM

...I just realised something about Zekrom. Remember that rumour about him being an electric type? And remember the screenshot from inside that cave with all the electricity being emitted by rocks, that some people suspected to be Zekrom's lair?

Well, what if Zekrom is based around the concept of lodestone? A lodestone or loadstone is a naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite, and most of the pictures I've seen of lodestone are a similar colour to Zekrom.

This would work well with the theory that Reshiram is based on natural occuring energy (based on his torch-looking tail).

Haza June 6th, 2010 2:11 PM

I like ur Lodestone theory... here is a good pic of the resemblance.

Wow. I think you may have just hit the nail on the head there. I've been hoping zekrom is part electric since we found out about that blog, and this just seems all add up.

Rehanlarc June 6th, 2010 7:11 PM

I am so gunna buy both games!

TheReal June 6th, 2010 7:25 PM

I think I like both of them, maybe Reshiram more, although I'm going to buy Pokémon White for sure!

Aggressor June 7th, 2010 4:29 AM

They look boring... Sorry to all who are impressed.

SpawnHyuuga June 7th, 2010 8:43 AM

Well if Zekrom is Electric/Dragon or Dragon/Electric (doesn't matter really) - then I still like him. He's still uber smexy <3 - and he still looks bad...

I just hope he doesn't suck combat-wise.

derp.....
i am so blind.
your theory works perfectly.
but i will still be pulling for dark and light type dragon legends. ;)

Mclarenf1905 June 7th, 2010 5:56 PM

If it is true that Zekrom is Dragon/Electric definitely that one, otherwise it depends on what its type is vs Reshiram's type and of course aesthetic appeal.

I completely agree Reshiram is the better one but the arms and wings? also whats up with zekroms tail?

Xander Olivieri June 11th, 2010 10:46 AM

Comming from here

Zerkom = Electric/Dragon
Reshrim = Fire/Dragon

Two unique combinations that haven't been done yet. Their abilities Turbo Blaze and Terra Voltage sound awesome. What can we expect of these two?

Pandemonioum June 11th, 2010 10:57 AM

Terra Voltage, hopefully it let's Zekrom's electric attacks reach the ground pokemon and hurt them :P

Haza June 11th, 2010 11:14 AM

I'm positive that Terra Voltage is probably going to allow him to hit Ground-Types with Electric-Type moves which is gonna be quite impressive.

MartinJF June 11th, 2010 11:17 AM

And Turbo blaze might make all Fire attacks hit first?
I dunno

Haza June 11th, 2010 11:19 AM

Or maybe using Fire-Type moves will raise Reshiram's speed...

SargeantMajorKururu June 11th, 2010 11:33 AM

Why not...
 
Turbo Blaze: Similar to normal Blaze, but effect happens when he has more HP and it raises his Fire-Type attacks A LOT more? Or maybe they did make a new type that Fire doesn't normally effect and Reshiram's ability counters it?

Juu-Chan June 11th, 2010 12:10 PM

HO ARCEUS
RESHIRAM'S EVEN SEXIER THAN GIRATINA

...sweet mother of sake, that's gonna hurt him :-(

The black one is weird. I bet Reshi-san would throw awesome parties~

but again this will seriously tick off giratina...

N...noooo! Ram-chin isn't cuter than Gira-tan! It's a pretty close call, though. And I'm definitely getting Pokemon Black. Although, I am disappointed that he's a Fire/Dragon-type. I was really hoping he'd be an Ice-type.

Superjub June 11th, 2010 12:34 PM

Finally! A Fire/Dragon Pokemon!!! :) However, I don't understand why it's fire/dragon. It doesn't look very firey (is that even a word? :P) to me... :\ It looks more Dragon/Flying or Dragon/Normal. :\

I think the fire is referenced in that Reshiram's tail looks like a tiki-torch. The same way Zekrom's jet-engine tail makes it electric type.

DXrobots June 11th, 2010 1:02 PM

I was pretty close I had guessed Ice/dragon as one of the types not Electric/dragon

Well I know that, but Ground is unaffected by Electric. So if Terra Voltage allows Zekrom's ability to hit ground with electric, then it would be extremely one-sided in comparison to Reshiram's ability if they didn't have a new type that is immune to fire.

Electric and Fire have no type advantage over one another, and Reshiram's tail DOES look like a torch. Here's hoping.

So, here's my moment of gloating. I totally called it. I'm just sad that our best hope for Light Type pretty much went out the window.

Anyway, do you think there will be a third creature to round out the trio? Maybe they are going to do another generation like G/S, which only had two mascot pokemon and borrowed the Crystal mascot from a different trio. If they were going to include another Legendary Dragon for "Gray" Version, what type combo could they use? Off the top of my head, I could only see a Ground/Dragon which would be strong against both. Any other ideas?

Toxicroak June 11th, 2010 3:14 PM

im not surprised about their types, Reshiram's tail resembles a fire torch and Zekrom's tail resembles a jet engine (hence electricity)

I'm assuming it will be an Ice-Type, because Game Freak seems to be trying out the whole "new-but-retro" trend for Black and White... Luckily, they're doing it right, by understanding that 8-bit =/= nostalgic, and that great, memorable designs = nostalgic.

SinisterEternity June 11th, 2010 4:56 PM

You guys probably have seen on Bulbapedia, Reshiram going to be a Dragon/Fire type and Zekrom a Dragon/Electric type ! No new types, yeah...As mentioned above :cccc
And, I'm "glad" Reshi is taller than Zekrom xD
I personally would have prefered it the Dragon was their second type, not the first :c
Makes them weak to ice and all ;w; But at least Reshiram isn't "Dragon/ice" so Zekrom can kill it easily xD *Reshifan*

FieryGrave June 11th, 2010 5:10 PM

I think the white one looks like moltres

Tanaki June 11th, 2010 5:23 PM

I'm confused by the boxes as to which game has which, but Reshiram is my definite pick.

dithyrambos June 11th, 2010 5:42 PM

Although I really want a new type, I had a feeling Reshiram wasn't going to be it. I- - I still have hope (hnnnnng).

I think the third mascot will be Dragon/Psychic, only because there is a very blatant pattern going on here: both Ram-chin's and Rom-chan's types are a form of energy. The third dragon could be a Psychic-type, to represent psychic energy? (Or maybe it'll be a new type woohoo.... probably not, I know.)

Interesting... the forms of energy concept could work alongside the whole light-dark theme I'm deriving from the legendaries... And I'm pulling for a new type as well! (Go Light!)

I've been skeptical about a Dragon/Fire combo Pokemonfor a while, since dragons are commonly depicted breathing fire, so it seems sort of redundant IMO. But Reshiram seems to execute it perfectly. :D With its TURBINE TAIL OF DOOM resembling a torch, and being a sort of personfication of white fire, it just seems to fit.

And Zecrom+Thunder+Electricity complements each other perfectly (the name sounds computer-ish, even!). For some reason, I've wanted to teach Zecrom Thunder ever since I saw it. Dragon/Electric looks like it will be very fun to use (reminds me of Cyclohm from the Smogon Create-A-Pokemon Project...)

I really hope the third mascot legendary sibling isn't Dragon/Water. It makes sense with fire, water, and electricity, though, but Dragon/Water is popping up a bit too much now (and we just had Palkia feature that combo, with Kingdra tagging along from Gen II) :\

Still, I have a feeling that all of the Gen V legendaries will be awesome!

Actually, the order doesn't matter for weaknesses; Zekrom will be weak to Ice, and Reshiram won't because of the fire typing.

A full list of weaknesses:
Reshiram: Rock, Ground, Dragon
Zekrom: Ice, Ground, Dragon

This is really only true outside of Asia. Asianic Dragons are born of singular elements. They have Dragons of Ice, of Fire, of Earth, of Air, of Water, etc. The Oriental Dragons were not all fire breathers, that was a western rendition when they also made dragons the embodiment of greed and evil.

Gotcha, thanks for the info. Since most Dragons learned Dragon and Fire moves, I figured they came hand-in-hand... The 'singular elements' things makes the Dragon-type more unique for me, as it doesn't reference just fire, but the other elements of power as well...

Anyway, Reshiram and Zecrom are going to be awesome in battle. Maybe the third sibling should be Dragon/Ground, to exert strength over both? But we've already seen that type combo twice (Flygon and Gablias/Garchomp, the latter of which it doesn't really fit, IMO)... Otherwise, the typing should be a combo that isn't too strong or too weak against the other 2 combos...

MistahDude June 11th, 2010 9:29 PM

Zekrom's Terra Voltage Ability!
 
It was revealed in the CoroCoro magazine on June 11th 2010 that Zekrom is Electric/Dragon and the Black Yin pokemon. It was also revealed that he has a new ability called Terra Voltage.

Terra - noun earth; land

Voltage - noun electromotive force or potential difference expressed in volts

I think that this ability allows Zekrom to hit Ground type Pokemon with Electric type moves.

What do you guys think?

Haza June 11th, 2010 9:56 PM

A large gray with purple eyes dragon of Ice/Dragon typing would be orgasmic! It could represent balance between the two.

With the Monochrome Legends now...could happen. Though with it being close to the Ying/Yang symbol, I'm praying that Reshrim and Zerkom are the two major with no added third. Threes are great for the past set or Earth/Sea/Sky and Time/Space/Dimension sets. But this is close to balance. Grey is the middle color and though represents the perfect balance, it also represents nothingness.

That's one way to look at it.

By the definitions provided, I'm thinking something along the lines of boost speed when hit by ground attacks or I really don't know...make electric attacks stronger after Ground attacks.

All seem wierd and we don't know their English names. These were just released after all and not all have been translated.

Look at Sunny Day. Its Jap name is Clear Skies. We just have to wait for another update to see what it does.

Pikachu aim for the horn! 'nuff said!

It seems like one way to look at it. It's completly DUMB for Nintendo to release a new ability without saying what it does. And, yes, I know they've always done that, but it shows stupidity.

No its not stupidity. They like for fans to get more excited and involved. If more people are curious then more people end up purchasing the game. It is marketing genius.

I'm just disappointed that neither of them levitate, especially since they both end up with noticeable weaknesses to ground-type attacks. >_>

...unless Terra Voltage and Reshiram's TurboBlaze are both akin to Motor Drive, except activated by ground-type attacks, effectively giving both of them an immunity to Ground-type attacks, and a chance to power up their signature attacks in the process. :P

mustafa505 June 11th, 2010 11:09 PM

:o i was confused why zekrom was in whtie version but its alternative :P i dint thought the moves wud be electric

EJ June 11th, 2010 11:16 PM

I was actually thinking along the same lines. Ground types would be susceptible under Terra voltage. However, we don't know what the USA name is so obviously we're unsure.

Bluerang1 June 11th, 2010 11:27 PM

Oh snap. How clever of you! This is most likely very true :)

redzb1 June 12th, 2010 2:47 AM

for me zekroms kind of a dragon and dark type, does it match pokemon black version and zekrom being dragon and dark?

zekroms in w version not b version

Ho-Oh June 12th, 2010 2:51 AM

Also it's CONFIRMED to be Electric/Dragon, not dark.

Reshiram is definitely a boy. I'm afraid if I tell you why, I would get banned :S

Hehe...lmao thank god it's just feathers...

Yamikarasu June 12th, 2010 9:43 AM

So if we go by the theory that Reshiram, being Fire/Dragon, represents natural light...
And Zekrom, being Electric/Dragon, represents artificial light...
Then what's the third one?

Pokebeach claims to have information saying that it will be a green Cobra thing. But what other type of light could it represent? I'm thinking biological light, like the kind you find with fireflies and anglerfish. Maybe the next legend will be Bug/Dragon?

Ho-Oh June 12th, 2010 9:49 AM

Bug/Dragon... is just impossible. I mean weaknesses and such...would be greatly flawed.

It'll either be a dark/psychic/ice/something else I'm betting.

The Doctor June 12th, 2010 12:14 PM

NEW IN!

Reshiram is A Dragon And FIRE TYPE.

Zekrom is a Dragon And ELECTRIC TYPE.

( Sorry if i have the names mixed up, check Seribii for full details )

Bluerang1 June 13th, 2010 6:17 AM

I like this idea
 
From Serebii (I love aimlessly browsing their forums and finding great stuff :laugh:)

I am really intrigued by the dragons complex design. At first I thought they looked nothing like pokemon, but I've grown to think they're pretty awesome.

I think reshiram is fire, which is supported by the its torch like tail and slight red glow. Zekrom is electric, which is supported by its generator like tail adn slight blue glow.

As for what the dragons maybe about, well I think it is a battle between past and future. Reshiram looks very ancient and mystic like while Zekrom looks metallic and really advanced. Look at it this way Fire was used to light up darkness in the past and today we use electricity to do it. Hense Black and white, light and dark, yin and yang. Light can't survive without darkness and vice versa.

Hiun city is very futuristic and most of Isshu is (what we've seen of it), but what if the other parts are old and ancient and the evil team(s) are trying to preserve the past or expand the future. At the end of the game we and the villains will realize that without the past the future couldn't exist yin and yang both are one. Maybe Gamefreak is trying to send a message about the pokemon franchise via the game. They want to say pokemon can't survive without old mechanics, but in order to preserve the franchise they have to advance further with new mechanics and ways of playing. So in away the new games are trying to tell us not to forget about the past, but embrace the future.

It's just a theory of mine. It may or may not be true, but it was thing that I had to share with you all.
By Pokeholic.

I'd love this to be true, beats good/evil to me :) And it makes so much perfect sense. Really nice creative idea :D

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire June 13th, 2010 6:23 AM

I really doubt it's past and future kind of thing...brings dialga to mind... though there is lots of nature in the region and industry as well...So maybe it's Wild life vs. Industrial life...reminds me of Hoenn in a way...

>Feelings< June 13th, 2010 6:31 AM

Hmm... Sounds very unrealistic in my opinion.

Reshiram is in no way glowing in red except in that scan. It's eyes are actually blue.
Zekrom is in no way glowing in blue except in that scan. It's eyes are actually red.

The two Pokemon are in no way related to being the representatives of the past and future.
Yin and Yang means they can represent Light and Dark, and a lot of other things, but this is too far-fetched.

Really, the good evil idea is awesome this time around, with rumors floating about how your good or bad decisions can influence the plot of the game.

I really doubt this. Pokemon isn't that type of RPG. Besides there are already a bunch of games that have that type of mechanic. Fable and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic come to mind. I would actually like Pokeholic's idea to be true. It's different and it has a message besides the whole good will always prevail or evil is not the right path.

dragon0fangz June 13th, 2010 7:05 AM

That one electric cave.
 
OMG that one electric cave is SO Zekrom's home. You can tell from Zekrom's ability, TerraVoltage.
