Sky Theme?
 
Reshiram - It blows flames that completely burn its surroundings. It is said that its heat moves Earth's atmosphere.
Zekrom - It has been passed down that it creates electricity using the generator in its body, flying around the skies of the Isshu region and hiding itself in thunderclouds.

^These are the Poke Dex entries for Zekrom and Reshiram. Looks like we have a Sky Theme now. I see nothing Yin-Yang about these. What are your opinions about this?

Azure-Supernova July 19th, 2010 4:02 AM

Ummm... how does that equate to a Sky Theme again? Just run it by me...

rocky505 July 19th, 2010 4:06 AM

Reshiram= Atmosphere
Zekrom= Clouds

I see nothing besides color about Yin Yang.

JakeyBoy July 19th, 2010 4:11 AM

They're just trying to make them sound cooler than they actually are by saying they cause natural occurences. Maybe they are found in the sky, but it's hardly a theme.

Reshiram uses a natural flame which moves the atmosphere

Zekrom uses a generator (rather well known for being man made).

I'm still seeing an Industrial vs Natural theme, if only somewhat.

my thoughts exactly

each game is a different universe where things had gone differently

Without Fire you wouldn't have electricity. Without Electricity you wouldn't have Fire. Without light you wouldn't have darkness. Without darkness you wouldn't have light. Without Atmosphere you wouldn't have clouds etc.,

That theme is a slight variation of Yin and Yang, thank you very much.

No it isn't. Neither Pokemon is good or evil so it has nothing to do with Yin Yang.

Ermm, Yin Yang doesn't necessarily mean good and evil. They represent opposing forces, i.e. Nature vs Industrial.

luigimario94 July 19th, 2010 8:19 AM

YIN/YANG IS NOT GOOD VS. EVIL!!!! IT'S ABOUT THE BALLANCE OF THINGS!!! LIKE THE BALLANCE OF NATURE AND TECH!!!

rocky505 July 19th, 2010 8:20 AM

Man don't spam caps it's annoying. And in the West Yin Yang has something to do with Good and Evil.

This is 100% true, you have to balance things out, whenever there is a t-storm the atmosphere heats up and becomes unstable...and electricity is believed to have given birth to the first natural fires on Earth...

Well the creators of the games are Japanese...so they will use their belief in Yin and Yang...

rocky505 July 19th, 2010 8:28 AM

It may just be a Yin-Yang/ Sky Theme mix then. Hoenn had mythical creatures and weather ( though I'm sure that mens nothing)

They did :), it probably is a mix of those and maybe some other things we might not know about...
Though the creature's they were based one were the one's who rule over the land,sea and sky respectively to RSE... so it would make sense for them to add the weather for them to expand their domains ;)
Two more sky pokemon...First was Ho-Oh then the Ruler of the Sky Rayquaza an now these two...

There are two things wrong with this. Electricity would exist without fire as there is not always fire when lightening strikes. And same goes for light because darkness is the absence light. But I understand what you're getting at.

DemonicDee July 19th, 2010 8:44 AM

By Yin Yang do you mean they don't seem to be opposites? They may not be opposites but there could always be a third Pokemon we don't know about yet. Don't they release the Pokemon games in Threes usually? The Third usually containing a new legendary.

rocky505 July 19th, 2010 8:47 AM

^ Ever since RSE yes. But how could Yin-Yang have 3 when it is 2.

Palkia July 19th, 2010 8:48 AM

Ying and Yang makes sense. Sky certinley doesn't.

BTW Zekrom's Pokedex entry makes it sound like a Zapdos ripoff.

Maybe the third one would be YO :P jk
It could be the master of Yin and Yang...there is a legend that they were created by Pangu...oh wait Pangu is Arceus...

rocky505 July 19th, 2010 8:50 AM

1. it is Yin not Ying. 2.Sky does make sense. It has a possibility of being both a YIN- Yang and Sky theme. Like mentioned earlier Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza were 2 themes.

luigimario94 July 19th, 2010 8:51 AM

Hoenn's Legends were based on Hebrew mith. So these guys could be based on other miths. Someone please PM me if they know what the legend is.

DemonicDee July 19th, 2010 8:57 AM

The to SKY ones could be just Yin on its own,then have an opposite to them, like a Rock one or something. Its always possible that Game Freak got bored of the whole opposite legendaries thing?
They may be trying something new i suppose.
