I'm disappointed in the legends to be honest. There's too many dragons already. It seems like the legends are just getting recycled. I hoping the other gen 5 pokes are better.

Also, a STRIKING resemblance to digimon. These new legendaries make me a sad panda.


Uhhh, no. The body physique is quite different. They're both big, both dark, and both in two legs but other than that... Zekrom isn't wearing armor, and he's only one color, not 3. He has one horn, not three. His eyes are more complex. No hair. He's actually pretty organic looking, except for the tail, in my opiniom.

@ .Gamer, well ur right there is a resemblance between these legendaries and digimon and even some YuGiOh! characters as well, but lets not over kill these legendaries, to be honest they resemble previous pokemon (mostly palkia) much more than they do to non-pokemon characters. If we have to imply this to every pokemon sprite, you would find many resemblances (like pikachu and patamon, like come on, these 2 look almost identical) so i guess lets just wait for more footage and images, its going to take more than a 1 single image of a pokemon to impress anybody.

On a scale of Pokemon 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 digimon, they rank 2-4. And the particular digimon you chose to post just showed that even more. It's way more detailed and... bionic than them.

Serin May 29th, 2010 10:49 AM

Wow, I would easily get both the games.

Best looking legendaries so far out of all the generations.

Sora's Nobody May 29th, 2010 10:58 AM

Something i just thought of... These legendarys make me 101% sure that theyr will be something about planes, you might even have to get the Legendarys somewhere in the sky...? I mean look at them Reshiram has wings that look like plane winngs (the akward position atleast) and Zekrom has a turbine for a tail. Go ahead and say "no way, Sherlok!" if you like, but this is something pretty huge, for me atleast!

You know what that is what ran by my mind awhile back too. Maybe it was made like that by coincidence or it has something to do with the story I suppose. I wonder if they will be able to fly though..Reshiram looks like it possibly could...Zekrom..not so much.

Honestly, if Zekrom and Reshima are fugly...then how do you describe this guy? :laugh:

The body structure is completey different and neither of them have those big ugly dino feet either. yes they may resemble digimon in a way..or at least look like they should be digimon, but if anything they (say Zekrom) bare no resemblance to this. If anything they seem to resemble a few other pokemon rather than Digimon.

Esper May 29th, 2010 11:06 AM

More dragon legendaries? I am underwhelmed by this news. They don't look particularly dragon-like to me.

I have the tiniest sliver of hope that this is misinformation or a mistranslation. I like them slightly less now. Ah, well, there's more to the games than the legendaries.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 29th, 2010 11:14 AM

I expected them to be dragon, they might be Dragon/psychic(or light if it's made) and Dragon/dark!... the legendaries seem to be one sided again...like Kyogre beats Groudon,Palkia can't beat Dialga...type wise only.

I don't think they will be one-sided unless Reshiram is like psychic/dragon and Zekrom is dark/dragon. If Reshiram is say a new type light/dragon then light&dark could both be SE against one another.

and Palkia can so beat Dialga (well at least my 3) :D.

mikey May 29th, 2010 11:24 AM

I actually like these two, which is surprising to me since I wasn't to impressed with the starters. I like their designs. Some say that they look too much like Digimon, but I disagree. Overall I like these two.

Yeah... the argument that Pokemon are starting to look like Digimon is fairly weak, since (no offence to the Digimon's fandom) Digimon came after Pokemon and pretty much used the same premise. I think what Pokemon is doing is simply trying to move away from the idea that they are kiddie games and appeal to a wider audience, particularly those who never gave Pokemon a chance.

nielsnijhof May 29th, 2010 12:34 PM

I am so going for Zekrom :D

Rumi May 29th, 2010 12:45 PM

I personally love the legendaries! I'm probably getting Black, which is good, since I quite like Reshiram's design--a bit more than Zekrom's. They have this kinda epic feel I can't explain. This made me even more excited!

Dubstep May 29th, 2010 1:17 PM

I was expecting something more.

SparklingMistral May 29th, 2010 1:22 PM

They both look pretty epic. I was gonna wait for the mascots, but since they both look pretty epic, I think I'm gonna have to wait for version exclusives. (:

Rain May 29th, 2010 1:35 PM

I really like both of the new legendaries. :) I'm still not too sure as to which one I like more.
I just wish they weren't part dragon type.
But then again, it's not like I'm going to use them once I've caught them, so it's all good.

Hmm, true I agree..and honestly if the legendaries are this awesome, and if they're really trying to appeal to an older audience at the same time too then I expect the other gen 5 pokemon to be awesome.

Ayselipera May 29th, 2010 3:43 PM

I find Reshiram interesting, but Zekrom seems to be a bit of over kill. All I see is a bunch of dismembered parts of other Pokemon thrown together and painted black. At this point Black Version is looking a little more appealing. Although it still is a bit to early for that.

mew² May 29th, 2010 3:56 PM

Pretty much was I was expecting.
A demonic and angel like legendary duo.
I don't like the white one. But it will grow on me like Palkia and Dialga.

..I mean't type advantage...wise... That's why I think we need a light type or we would see the one sidedness again like we did in gen 1,3,4...wait this is part of a tradition isn't it... only gen 2 broke this...
Can't wait until I get White so I can have my cool Mecha like dragon demon like Mascot...too bad I don't get it until after I'm almost done with the game...

Karel_Kazuki May 29th, 2010 4:06 PM

This is awesome.This is how i see it.

There are no new types, because they would have been announced before the starters were revealed.

The White one= Dragon/Ice FTW!!!!!!
The Black one=Dragon/Dark/Giratina's maker FTW!!!!

In any case, they both say EPIC for me.I will get my translator ready so I can input it into the Japanese game for everyone to enjoy.

...I don't think it's Dragon/Ice to me it's more Dragon/psychic, the other one is 75% going to be Dragon/dark... Your joking on Giratina's maker right as Giratina was created by Arceus... I can't tell if you joking or not...

JAK3 May 29th, 2010 4:15 PM

Hey cool, they look awesome. Looks like I will be getting Zekrom, I said I would be getting White from the very Beginning, so there you have it, I will admit though, they share a resemblance to Digimon, but hey, Who cares, they are still Pokemon.

BIGGEST LOAD OF CRAP I HEARD!

Has anyone even noticed that in every generation, except 2(you would probably consider Tyranitar a dragon.) that there was only one set of Dragons?

Dragonite fam
Salamance fam
Garchomp fam
Flygon fam

Legendaries
Sinnoh 3
Rayquaza

Seriously?There arent ENOUGH dragons.
