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...

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?

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.

Xander Olivieri June 11th, 2010 10:05 PM

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!

560cool. June 11th, 2010 10:46 PM

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.

Timbjerr June 11th, 2010 10:57 PM

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.
