You know... JP, you actually just made me think on how it could indeed work. Considering how much more technologically advanced the Isshu Region seems to be, and considering that the names are, as many have pointed out, ROM/RAM, I guess Electric could work. I just wish that aesthetically it looked more the part. But, as you guys said, it's all speculation still.

billi1000 May 31st, 2010 7:59 AM

To be honest, it seems to make sense that Zekrom might be a part Electric-Type. To me that explains the jet engine / generatior tail as I just couldn't understand what Nintendo was up to with those retro tail designs. As well, Zekrom definitely seems like a dark type primarily because of its colour and intimidating look, but taking a closer look shows that its patched with armour plates all over and seems very bionic and robotic.

Anyways, if the tail is what decides the type, then Reshiram might also end up being part Fire-Type since it's tail represents a torch.

Yamikarasu May 31st, 2010 8:32 AM

Electric? That's disappointing. It really seemed like it would be a Dark type. Oh well. That could definitely explain the generator thing on its tail.

Myles May 31st, 2010 8:39 AM

I wanted Zekrom to be part-dark, which is why I'm not fond of it being dragon/Electric. But if it is dragon/Electric, then I guess the only logical conclusion is for Reshiram to be dragon/Grass, because:

1. The way... whoever that was, put it made it obvious Reshiram isn't going to be Electric.
2. Grass is the opposite of Electric when you think of it as Electric = technology and Grass = naturalism.
3. It just fits.

Only problem is the RAM is most likely not going to be Electric.

Zekrom's Second Type Revealed!?
 
According to Serebii the host of Pokemon Sunday said she loves electric types and with that would love to voice Zekrom. This post was then removed from her blog minutes afterward.

It would be cool for Zekrom to be Electric Dragon! It would also fit because His name means Black Read Only Memory.

Do you guys want a Dragon Electric type?

Bluerang1 May 31st, 2010 8:50 AM

Electric/Dragon is pretty cool, and makes sense. It's the industrial thing people are talking about. Though Grass/Dragon Reshiram, I'm not fond off. Makes sense though.

Lancelot-sama! May 31st, 2010 9:09 AM

Actually once I thought about it for a second it wouldn't be a bad idea really. I mean it would male some sense that the Isshu region that seems to have large cities would have a legendary electric type dragon. Perhaps maybe (IF electric is Zekrom's second type) Zekrom would be involved in some sort power or energy issue (lol) throughout the region. I don't know if it's possible but you know you WOULD need a lot of power for large cities.

In other words I'd like to see this type combo for zekrom come true, and if not it'll still be a cool pokemon.


BleuVII May 31st, 2010 9:13 AM

Well, this may dispel the Dark/Light rumors, if it is confirmed, but it gives hope for one more thing. If Zekrom is Electric/Dragon, do you think that Reshiram might FINALLY give us the Fire/Dragon combo people have been looking for?! Electric and Fire have no type advantage over one another, and Reshiram's tail DOES look like a torch. Here's hoping.

GoldvsRed May 31st, 2010 9:25 AM

Dragon/Electric-Type... It's not what we were expecting, but remember Palkia? We all WTF'd when we found at that it was a Water-Type! It doesn't look very suiting, but it's an awesome Type combination. Hopefully it'll learn Zap Cannon!

.Eevee-Chan May 31st, 2010 9:26 AM

That's a rumor. First I thought it would be odd but now that I think about it, it would be nice and unique.
I could see it as an electric type.

Setosama May 31st, 2010 9:28 AM

Hm......... There's nothing about Zekrom that screams electric type to me.

Hell, if he IS an electric type, he'd be THE FIRST ONE of breaking the trend of Electric pokemon being yellow or at having yellow on them. As of right now, only Chinchou, Lanturn, Electrike, Manetric, Shinx, Luxio, and Luxray are the ONLY electric pokemon that fall under that second category

Rapide May 31st, 2010 9:29 AM

Has anyone noticed that Reshiram's (spell check?) head looks like Suicune's?

Setosama May 31st, 2010 9:33 AM

Naw, I doubt it, HIGHLY. AS I stated in the other thread about this, Zekrom IS NOT YELLOW, nor does he have yellow ANYWHERE on his body. All electric pokemon are yellow or have yellow highlights.

Zapdos and Raikou are both IN YOUR FACE with yellow, and Rotom has a yellow arua with lightning bolts underneath it. it is HIGHLY unlikely Zekrom is gonna be an elecrtic type.

I thought it look more like a Pidgeot. Well, only the mane does. The face looks like Lucario.

Neurotripsy May 31st, 2010 9:34 AM

Hmm, not really that impressed... ;A; The black one's okay though, I'll probably pick that.

The face is dog-like. that's one of the first things I noticed.

The big gyro thing on its tail...

Rotom doesn't have yellow anywhere on it, the closest it comes is the orange-ish aura on its Shiny form. The only one of the Magnemite line with yellow on it is Magnezone, and that's only its tiny little antennae thing. Also, Voltorb and Electrode.

No, Zekrom wouldn't be the first.
Voltorb, Electrode, Magnimite, and Magneton have no yellow on them.

I can understand why the might point people in the direction, but I'm still not buying it.

Dark and Light make WAY better sense in my opinion. If it IS electric though... 2 things:

1. What the hell would Reshirams plot in white be? power thing in Black I can somewhat understand... but Grass on Reshiram makes NO sense at all and fire brings to question, are areas going to be different? If indeed zekrom IS electric and the area in the pic above is where it is found.

2. Watch the SHINY version of zekrom be yellow since regular zekrom CERTAINLY isn't.

forgot about them... but voltorb and electrode are like Pokeballs and Magnemite family has magnets...

I'm still not believing that thing is an electric type when 2 electric legendaries before him where in your face with yellow.

oh that WAS the shiny one. either way. it SILL has the bolts beneath it.

Voltorb and Electrode are KNOWN for blowing themselves up... As of right now... They are really the only 2 electric pokemon (at least in the anime) who don't make much sense....

Actually, voltorb is kinduva joke pokemon really. you pick it up thinking it's a pokemon and then it explodes right in your face.

Still though. The comment was removed. There could be SEVERAL reasons for this! serebii has also stated this and has also stated a few. And, as good as their source may be, the statement could have been somewhat mistranslated. We're only human. We all make mistakes.

3dd13 May 31st, 2010 9:58 AM

being they are in charge of making it, its a possibility that it can be whatever types they want. im hoping for the light/dark, and maby it is a possibility, that they can learn electric type moves, or electricity may tie in to a new pokepower or part of the storyline even.

musesum626 May 31st, 2010 9:59 AM

I can kind of see why it would be Electric, but it makes much more sense for it to be Dark. (Either way we'd have a unique typing) Then again, it is the legendary for Pokemon White, and electricity is very bright, so maybe that's why? But then Reshiram would have to be Dark o_0

I should just try not to speculate about this and wait for confirmed information.

Thank you I agree so wholeheartly with this statement. People have been paying to much attention to its body color instead of the region its found in. Since Isshu is more industrialized it would make sense that these two legendaries have something to do with industrilization. Still this is just a rumor but I don't rule out the possibility it being electric. I mean come one its tail looks like a freakin generator for cryin out loud!
