I have no idea what to expect with the fighting trio. They are either going to look really really bad and will be hated for eternity or they will own and everyone will love them.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 11th, 2010 8:29 PM

Well I find it cool that we will get another Steel/Fight and Grass/Fight pokemon and this time they are legendaries along with the new type combo of Rock/Fight :D

Alaskan Husky September 11th, 2010 9:58 PM

- Rock/Fighting
- Water/Fighting
- Bug/Steel
- Electric/Flying

These interest me the most. Pure Flying is pretty meh; I could take it or leave it, but it's quite nice to have a pure Flying type for the first time ever. =) Dark/Dragon is cute, I guess, but I'm not big on the whole Fighting-weak thing. Plus, it's weak to Bug moves, which is lol -- though U-Turn is the only one I can think of used regularly! Maybe besides Bug Buzz/Attack Order. Dark STAB is lovely though, as is Dragon, (though Dark isn't particularly the greatest complement to Dragon...?) and I expect the new pseudo-legendary to look awesome aesthetically.

Rock/Fighting sounds beastly. Stone Edge / Close Combat / Swords Dance... can you say pain? =o It could also go on a defensive route, I suppose... though offense seems more interesting to me. Just to be honest. Rock, Fire, Bug, and Dark resists are all well and good, but.. I don't really like the idea of something being weak to both Fighting- and Ground-type moves when defensive, to be honest. Not to mention a Water weakness. :/

Though the other three typings have already been done, but they're all excellent typings, and I'd be pleased to see how these turn out both competitively and design-wise. Can't wait to see Sugimori art of all of the legendaries. :3

yeah the Rock/Fighting sounds deadly, I can see it as uber if it has high attack...as it's part Fighting takes down Steel types, and Rock takes care of it's flying weakness...

King Gumball September 11th, 2010 10:16 PM

The Rock/Fighting might be "the THING" from Fantastic Four ^.^ I would lol if they based its design on him.

Lol It kind of does doesn't it :P?

King Gumball September 11th, 2010 10:28 PM

Hahah yeah.

I do think it might look similar to the Thing though. All three might be big people looking creatures that are made from their element.

The water one might be blue and wet with webbed feet, the rock one's skin all stony and cracked and the grass one with green fur with sticks poking out.......

Or maybe not :|

Haza September 11th, 2010 10:47 PM

None of the Legendary Pokemon, by description, intrigue me due to the fact that there is still no Poison-Type Legend. It's my favorite type but the ONE type that does not have a Legendary to represent them. The only one I am excited for is this Alien Robot Steel/Bug type.

CZbwoi September 11th, 2010 10:55 PM

Bug legendary for the first time sounds neat.

Poison lovers don't fret, they'll save the best for last when they finally make one.


Or maybe they'll just reveal that Muk was a legendary all along, and the greatest of all, of course.

I kid, I want a poison legendary as much as the next guy, and no, Arceus holding the Toxic Plate doesn't count, Nintendo.

As I see it, in the beggining there was only Muk, then muk evolved into arceus and then created the universe ;)
:D i luv muk too

Ho-Oh September 12th, 2010 12:11 AM

...that would be quite awesome if Muk was a legendary! Though we should be glad with the variety of legendaries we do have :x

I mean, ice, fire and electric dragons are pretty awesome.

Ugh cant w8 to see the ice dragon, pleeeeze be a snake ><
I just hope it isnt some kind of blue dragon that looks like........dragon, that would be so unimaginative

infrastatic September 12th, 2010 8:21 AM

Yeah the blue dragon is already taken-Mr. Salamence.

I think they should stray from the european dragon look and do a chinese type dragon.

^O^ a mix between shen long and a quetzalcoatl(flying serpent) or 2 legendaries, one for quetz and one for shen-long :D

They all sound incredibly boring except for Victini ad the Alien Robot.

yossarian September 12th, 2010 9:34 AM

I'm really curious to know what's going to each legendary's unique feature. They've pretty much covered every angle already.

I mean in IV they had the god of the frickin pokemon. Not sure how they can beat that now.

Its a messican site. How come i dont remember that one :/ space bug with a laser....hmmm could turn out stupid. Guess ill just have to w8 and see.
I hope it comes to earth with deoxys and destroys humans as plasma comand them, then all pokemon will be free :D

rocky505 September 12th, 2010 10:30 AM

I can already see a fan art for the alien bug, Mewtwo vs Deoxys vs darkrai vs alien bug with mega freaking awesome cannon on it's back.

Interesting to hear that.

Yeah I imagine they'll focus on more gods and aliens though, they've pretty much covered ruler of land/sea/electricty/ancient etc .

The problem I'll find is that compared to Arceus, who created the frickin Universe and is the ultimate legendary all the other legenderies will seem somewhat inferior. Really bad move from the designers to produce him so early.

Bluemoon September 13th, 2010 8:06 AM

Finally bug types... and fighting as well!!1 but where is poison? anyway why are they making another electric/flying type whats this another zapdos?

Mujahid September 13th, 2010 8:17 AM

By the end of Gen V..there'll be more than 600 pokemons..how can u not expect repetition of types ???..And besides it has been done only once not like consecutively for past three gens (looking at you pokabu -.-)

bwburke94 September 13th, 2010 8:50 AM

There would need to be only 290 evolutionary lines to guarantee repeats, so having three Fire/Fighting lines isn't too bad, at least compared to Grass/Poison and Normal/Flying.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 14th, 2010 2:50 PM

Well Serebii and posted the legendary Fighting trio up here's the link: http://pokebeach.com/2010/09/isshus-fighting-type-legendary-trio-revealed-more-leaked-pokemon-info

The thing with Pokabu's Type is he's the third Fire/Fighting starter in a row. Not that he's the third Fire/Fighter in a row. If he were just some random Pokemon in a non-starter evo line it wouldn't really matter.

Why's that a bad thing? The Legendaries don't have to be progressively stronger and stronger every gen to be acceptable. xD;




When I first looked at the list of legendaries, I noticed OMG NEAT NEW TYPE COMBOS before I noticed GOD TWELVE OF THEM WHY SO MANY. It's prolly just because I really like Pokemon with interesting Type combinations, but for me that sort of makes up for the sheer number of them. Back in D/P it annoyed me how there were so many excess legendaries that weren't necessary and didn't appeal to me. Just judging by what we know so far though, I think I'll like this region's legendaries quite a bit.

Well it this region has only 1 less than Sinnoh but I still hope that they aren't extra and they all have a decent back story to them I wish the Sinnoh one's did :(

Bay September 14th, 2010 6:55 PM

I"m going to just say my thoughts on the fighting legendaries because there are pics of them now. XD

I think it's good that we have fighting legendaries finally. As for the looks, I like the rock one. The other two reminds me too much of a crossbred between Arceus and Dialga. :x

CZbwoi September 14th, 2010 7:20 PM

They look iffy.

More-so the blue one.
That one looks so badly made.

But this experto dude has not been wrong.


Idk how in the world they're fighting types.
Unless.

1. All they do is stomp.
2. They undergo a transformation and go transformers on the opponent.

orange discontent September 14th, 2010 7:25 PM

The legendary ungulates? Ungulates are hoofed animals and low and behold, those beasts have hooves (though the grass one has some booties on, ha).

The rock/fighting one is a rhino thing, the blue one looks like an antelope or gazelle. Is that green one a llama?

When a horse gets pissed or startled what does it do? It bucks right? It's possible they get on their front legs and kick with their back legs. Or rise up onto their back legs and kick with their front legs. They could headbutt or do other various things as well. It was stated before by another user that fighting doesn't necessarily mean martial arts. Fighting is any sort of physical exertion.

This is what I think, they use their Hooves/Feet to attack pokemon thus making them fighting types :)

But how far can bucking and headbutts go?
Alone for a whole type?
Rapidash could do all that.

I'm curious to see what they do.

Your maths off my friend. You cannot just multipy 17 by 17 as that counts Fire/Fighting and Fighting/Fire as different type combinations. You in fact need less evolutionary lines to use up every possible type combination. Plus 17 for monotypes.


I'm unsure on the trio so far, mainly the blue-steel one. (Imma call it Zoolandermon)

Yes but the question is, how powerful can Rapidash do it? Being legendaries, their physical power is going to be far superior.
Don't rule out the theory just yet~


PsychoJigglypuff September 14th, 2010 8:15 PM

Well technically all Pokemon can fight. But not all Pokemon are Fighting types...

Again, this is Pokemon. Logic doesn't exist. Besides, people can still be awesome fighters without the use of their arms.

The legends seem pretty cool. The typings are certainly interesting.

JP September 14th, 2010 8:16 PM

The blue one looks a bit odd, but the rest of them are looking pretty cool. I can't wait to see clearer images and artwork of them. :D

CZbwoi September 14th, 2010 8:35 PM

I'll LOL if they can all jump extremely high, flip and all that stuff.
All while still being quadrupeds.

Only thing that comes to mind is Horton.

Lol isn't ironic that the Alien bug being Bug/Psychic could probably beat all 3 of those as they are all weak against Bug :P

Fangking Omega September 15th, 2010 8:00 AM

Have to say I don't like what I see so far with the legendaries. They're either overblown or convoluted in my mind. And too numerous. Why can't we go back to the days of RBY/GSC when they were a bit simpler but still epic in design, and less plentiful so that finding one was SPECIAL!

Hate to say it, but I'd have to agree. It does seem a bit like overkill compared to the way things used to be...

...But I don't use legendaries anyway, so what's it matter to me? I'll just catch the ones I like and ignore the rest like I always do :P

Echidna September 15th, 2010 8:18 AM

these legendary type combos are awesome. gotto love'm. i mean there are obviosdly two trios and one duo and the types are astounding i mean who would've dremt to have three dark and dragon types, it is obvious that they're gonna look awesome. and three fighting legendaries with each a specific type. cool. real cool. and besides there are 156 new pokemon which is the highest count of new pokemon per generation since , well , the first. and 156 new are bound to have at least a couple awesome pokemon that people are gonna love and dedicate themselves to. and did you guys see those two pokemon that look like tauros and stanler evos, i mean the stntler one is kinda frafetched but the new bull pokemon looks like a tauros evo. right ???

Fangking Omega September 15th, 2010 8:19 AM

Hah, I win, my fangame has 157 new Pokémon ;)

And curiously our main legendaries are mainly "black and white", not unlike Reshiram and Zekrom... but different typings.

Agreed, especially the last part.

I was always happy when I finally ran into a Suicune or finally got to the part where I got Lugia.

Last gen it was like volcanic legendary thataway, moon legendary on that island, dreamkiller legendary sorta nearby, there's also those 3 dragons ruling the laws of physics, the new trio lake fairy version is also here, the old trio has a new giga ruler- he's that way, a small water protector legendary can be found egg style, a grassy version of that is told to be around a flowery place, and oh yeah, there's some God pokemon expecting you to go challenge it with a flute.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat. your both right. second and third ges were the best, then it just lost it. i guess game freak thought that people liked to have 10s of legendaries on them, or at least a team of 6 legendaries, but that just makes legendaries less rare and a little dull. xDxDxD

dragonite149 September 15th, 2010 11:25 AM

I agree with this. I like having these side-quests after the main story is over.

dieter57 September 15th, 2010 1:35 PM

i ALWAYS catch the legendaries. i don't use most of them because the battle frontier bans them. (witch is a dumb idea)
but the ones i can use i train to Lv 100 and beyond! XD

Yeah, but they should really give more of a story for each legendary, because D/P/Pt was lacking in that... I mean, when you went to catch Heatran, you'd just walk into a cave, battle a couple of trainers, then catch it. I just want for them to make at least mini stories for each one. Similar to when you catch the main legendary(s). :3

Astinus September 15th, 2010 1:55 PM

In a way, I agree with those who say that there are too many Legendaries right now. At some point, the total number of them for just one region becomes too much.

On the other hand, it is good to have something to do once the main storyline is over. Chasing down Legendaries is a fun thing to do (at times when they don't get too annoying). It's also interesting to see the mythology of each region, and the history of the region, and world, that the new Legendary Pokemon fit into.

So, I guess I do like Legendaries, so long as they have a story behind them. I'm interested in learning what mythology these Legendaries bring to the world.

psychomew2 September 15th, 2010 2:03 PM

im hoping that the ice/dragon will have snow warning. itll be cool to have something with that ability without the large number of weaknesses that abomasnow has.

The Red Chain September 15th, 2010 2:07 PM

With the sheer amount of legendaries I have a feeling most of them aren't gonna play a huge role, similar to Phione and Heatran of Generation 4. Neither of those two had a real role. But hey, I could be wrong. They may have seen their wrongs from before and changed it up, which is what I'm hoping. Legendaries should be legendary for a reason. If you're going to make so many, at least make them all significant in some way so they live up to their title. Otherwise, it's pointless for them to be called legendaries if they have nothing to be legendary for.

I'm crossing my fingers on this one. D;


AadmM September 15th, 2010 2:23 PM

To be fair, the Kanto legendaries didn't really have a lot of history behind them either, at first. They only started tying legendaries into the story somewhat with Gold and Silver...before that, it was the fact that there were so few that made them actually feel legendary.

Once you get to a certain amount, it's like...what's the point? It kinda kills the effect.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire September 15th, 2010 3:22 PM

Well they all need a story of some kind like the Regi's at least...and where they came from etc.

JP September 15th, 2010 3:40 PM

I definitely agree that if we're to have a large amount of Legendaries, they need to tell a story and not be as simplistic in role, like The Red Chain said about Phione and Heatran. This makes for more interesting side-quests.

exactly, the side quests are the best thing about the game making the elite four challange not the last part of the game, but i also think that legendaries in D/P/PT lost there background. i mean kanto legends, awesome. that legend in the power of one sounds awesome and makes the legendaries have a feel of power and rarety. jhoto legends, same . hoenn legends same(even though the number of legendaries in gen 3 grew significantly) but in D/P/PT, legendaries became dull. all sidequests took , and i am not lying , maybe a little shy of an hour to complete. come on. and more over, heatran , phione , regigias , had no backstory and no importance. come on. i hope this changes in black and white. a lot of legendaries is a good way to draw attention. as long as each one has a legend , backstory , and independant importance.

Xander Olivieri September 16th, 2010 12:06 PM

Ice Dragon's Base stats equal 660

Zekrom and Reshiram equal 685.

Ya I don't see them being a trio now. Nor the Ice being the master cause its weaker than the other two.

The Bug/Steel legend scares me.

Anyone know why 641 and 642 are next to eachother, but then its Reshiram and Zekrom, and then 645?

That is the oddest thing ever...

Makes no sense.

Can you be a little clearer? I have absolutely no idea what you are asking.

JP September 16th, 2010 8:16 PM

I find pretty much all of these Legendaries really awkward and odd looking. Perhaps I just need to see official artworks or clearer sprites. Apart from Victini, Zekrom and Reshiram... they just look odd. Might be the first time I don't like a majority of the Legendaries.

The first 2, and the last one, are identical.
Yet Reshiram and Zekrom are between them.

???

Its like putting Raikou, Entei, then Lugia, Ho-Oh, and then Suicune.

Xander Olivieri September 16th, 2010 8:25 PM

Ah. Well look at D/P/Pt.

Dialga, Palkia, Heatran, Regigigas, Giratina.

Cresselia, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai.


They did it twice before. This was one of my main reasons for doubting Giratina being part of the trio when it was added in AFTER Platinum came out.

Just something they did. Who knows why. Maybe the first two are available and the third isn't until you get one of the other two. Maybe one of them is version exclusive and like I just said you have to catch it before you can catch the ground one.

Mista T September 16th, 2010 8:27 PM

I agree with JP. Mustachioed cloud men with leprosy are NOT going over well with me.

Oh, and they are all in the EXACT same pose.

Daikenki September 16th, 2010 8:30 PM

... I only like Zekrom. ;-;
I'm sorry, and you can say I'm just being butthurt or something, but with each generation these legendaries get out of control.
Isn't the point of being a legendary being rare?
And not to mention these legendary pokemon are getting too complex with the designs. I like different designs, I like simple designs, but these designs don't seem to work well. They just don't. Maybe someone will do amazing fanart of these legendary pokemon and my opinion will change.

But after you basically introduce the god of all pokemon, what's next? It just seems like every legendary after Arceus will be criticized. The only way to go is down. Now with a new region they may be doing something new. Bring in legendaries that only the region knows about. Every culture has their different creation stories. This I like. This I would like to see. However, this probably won't ever happen due to these legendary pokemon being real in the pokemon world.. o3o

I wish they would limit the legendaries to at least 5 per each game. You can have the trio, and then two stronger ones.

Haha yeah, though I definitely have more of a problem with the last 3 than any of them. My Little Pony, Pixie Barbie, and lastly Decepticon Transformer do not look like Legendaries to me... they would have worked perfectly as normal, basic designs. Even then though, they would have still looked weird to me. Hopefully that Meroetta thing's suppose forme will look better.

Ok, but those 3 look like they fit the legendary trio bill more than something like Dialga's group last gen(which is like a superlegendary trio, you know, the cover pokemon).

The 3 birds of Kanto, 3 beasts of Johto, Regis, etc., are different.


These 3 look so similar that it fits that kind of purpose for Isshu(along with those 3 deer fighting things).

So similar that its just a color swap and that wrap around cord switches design.
Its odd that THIS type of trio would be separated.

That's pretty much all the Regi and the Spirits were. I mean, ya they are repeating themselves, but its been pretty much one man for god knows how long. 600+ monsters, that is very impressive. I can't even get past 20 myself and I've been trying to make a fakedex for 3 years now.

Cut the poor guy some slack. He's at least trying to keep Pokemon alive. They could have at lease not given us a 5th Gen and ended it with the sour taste of the 4th Gen.

While this doesn't really absolve him, he really shouldn't be put under nearly as much heat as he is. If you saw this as the very first Pokemon game and didn't know anything about Pokemon, you'd think this would be a really good series. Which is what they try to do each region for people just starting.

Ya, ok, these aren't ZOMG fangasm greatness to make perfections shed manly tears of epic, this guy does deserve props for staying with the business for as long as he has and still trying to appease people with his ever growing limitations.

Uh.
That last bit at the bottom that you bolded, I wasn't attacking the creator(s)...:\
I was just saying that's how similar they are just like the other past trios, Birds-Beasts-Regis-Fairies, are.
That you would automatically assume that Articuno is related to Zapdos, or Regirock to Registeel.

They're put into the same company as those trios, so the last one shouldn't be separated from the other 2 in the dex.
Adding on that they look, imo, as the most similar looking trio since the Regis Fairies.


-Again, I wasn't critiquing the design choice(I brought the blatant similarity to attention, yes), I was just talking about the odd dex positioning choice.

I kinda see what you mean but in the same time I must disagree because I think these are by far the most not related and not similar looking legendaries since ever. For example to me those genies doesn't bring any earlier trios in mind and same with the other trio. I'm not sure but I'm more frustrated for the fact that they used the same sprite, altered it and made it into three different pokémon. That just shouts to me that they were in rush or that they were lazy. And the beast like trio looks more like something that would have come out of Arceus if it could have children or something. Personally I actually like the fact that earlier trios have been clearly different but still the same like the fairies or the regis. Never the less some of these are actually good looking but most of them look like they done in haste. Maybe they grow on to me when I see the actual art but like this they look somewhat horrific. :'D Sorry guys~

King Gumball September 16th, 2010 10:01 PM

I am kinda disappointed in the only Flying type legend... I expected something better seeing as it is the only pure flying type.

coolnick37 September 17th, 2010 1:10 AM

All legendaries look ugly, but ill just w8 untill we get better pictures, only zekrom/reshiram and the trio on the clouds are good for now.
Not to mantion the gorrid abomination of the human pokemon -.-

Dragonika September 17th, 2010 7:29 AM

They look awesome especially the last one ! :D

<- this is Maroetta. She is a human like you and me. She can feel pain, she can experience loneliness, she can feel disappointment. So stop placing her in battles, dont confine her in a pokeball, dont ruin her life like you wouldnt want someone to ruin your life! A word to all pokemon trainers out there, let us set Maroetta free! Let us be the change!
If you want to spread the word put this into you own signature...and make the world a better place...atleast for that one person :,( Signed Trainer - N -

Bluerang1 September 17th, 2010 9:23 AM

They pulled of pure Flying pretty well, I too was thinking of some cloud creature, or maybe it's because I found out what it would be based on... Shame about the same sprite frame for the 3 of them. Fighting trio are weird, the best is the Grass one. There's a My little Pony! xD

pokeaziz16 September 17th, 2010 9:47 AM

actually, the legendary meloia is pretty cute in my opinion. and has the ability '' serene grace'' sounds sweet :)

Superjub September 17th, 2010 10:08 AM

My theory is that Kerudio is somehow related to the fighting trio in some way. :p My reason is that it has the same ability as the legendary trio, and is [type]/fighting. Plus, they have similar stats... I'm probably completely wrong, but oh well. :D

Also, the cloud legendaries remind me of those characters from TLOZ: Wind Waker. XD

mervyn797 September 17th, 2010 10:13 AM

All these legendary Pokemon that I saw were so awesome, I just can't wait to get to them in game. :D

Those Genies designs are absolute Crap!

I hate it. The could have made it so much better! Why couldnt they just make more legend birds? No they had to make genies sitting on clouds with hippy colours and a Hammer tail.

You are SO right on that one. Those are probably the most uncreative, poorly designed Pokemon I have ever seen. I would understand a bit more if they were all the same Pokemon in different forms, but they're SEPERATE Pokemon? With the same exact poses? Same exact design, with simply different colors and tails? Game Freak really just threw these things in there for no absolute reason. And I was excited to see our first Flying type... and it turns out looking like that. Such a disappointment.

Alaskan Husky September 17th, 2010 5:38 PM

My reactions:

- Reshiram, Zekrom: same awesome dragons as normal
- Victini: is cute. not overly awesome but i can deal with it.
- Kyuremu: what
- Three genies: meh
- Fighting trio: should be cool :D
- Kerudio: OMG PONY :DD i'll always think of you as my lil pirate pony...
- Meloia: brb gushing
- GENOSECT: HECK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For a more... well, coherent thought process, I've liked Reshiram and Zekrom from the very beginning. Their typings were unique, and I fell in love with their designs. Fire/Dragon and Electric/Dragon types just added to my enthusiasm, lol. Same story with Victini, really; though I had thought it was Fighting/Flying. Looks like I was way off. Anyways, it's adorable and I can't wait to use it. :)

Kyuremu... is there really much to say? It looks like a bunch of ice cubes stuck to a grey, inflatable chicken. Its stats are pretty good, though it's a shame that Dragon/Ice is such a redundant type combo. Oh, don't get me wrong, I certainly like the idea of it, but honestly, think... what does Ice add to Dragon? An Ice neutrality? At the cost of Fighting-, Rock-, and Steel-type weaknesses? Eh, no thanks, bro. Stats are pretty good, though. If it, Reshiram, and Zekrom form a trio, I honestly wonder how Kyuremu ties in...

The three genies, the three genies, the three genies... sigh. I was expecting one of two reactions; either, "OH MY GOD THESE ARE AMAZING!!!" or "These suck. I'm never going to use them." In the end, they invoked neither reaction. They're just... eh. Not a super-big fan of them, but honestly, they could have been much, much worse. I really like their stat distributions and their typing, I must admit. Pure Flying is something I've wanted for a while, despite Flying not being a terribly great STAB to have. Electric/Flying and Ground/Flying... lol. That will be fun. I may not be a big fan on how they look (listen I'm not saying they're BAD I just don't like them as much as I did Reshiram and Zekrom), but I'll definitely use them. Just like I do with Machamp.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with all of them... perhaps maybe Kyuremu, simply because I have no idea what the heck it is. A frozen dragon? Works for me, I guess. Was kinda hoping the genies would be a little more... distinct from each other? As one Pokemon, I would have been perfectly fine. But three? :/ Meh. Iffy on that. No doubt, I'll use them, lol.

FIHGTAN TRIO. Okay, these are pretty cool. First off, it means Jirachi is no longer the fastest Steel-type in existence (109 base vs. 100, I think?), and also, the Rock/Fighting one... looks freaking DEADLY. Give that thing Stone Edge and a reasonably powerful Fighting move, and by Jove, you have yourself an absolute monster. Grass/Fighting is cute. I don't really have any more to say on it, other than it's my favorite one aesthetically, lol.

NEXT OFF MY PONY. Pony is MINE. End of discussion.

...

Oh, I'm supposed to be serious. Oops.

Anyways, I really like Kerudio, and it might just be my favorite one of the legendaries, besides maybe Meloia, which I will talk about soon. ^_^ I really like its look, and though I know it isn't based off of one in any way, shape, or form, I think it looks sort of like a pirate, lol. 129 base Special Attack from something that cute? Yes, please. I can't wait to play with it! Plus it has a typing I've always loved: Water/Fighting. Win-win scenario for me.

MELOIA <333333333333333 This my favorite legendary of B/W, my favorite Pokemon on B/W, and might just be my favorite... period. I love it. I can't really say any more about it without looking like an idiot oh wait it might be too late for that.

GENOSECT. Bug/Steel. 600 BST. 120/120/99 offenses. Laser cannon on back. Cute Pokemon. What's not to like? Well, besides the 99 Speed. Maybe 102 would have been better? (A) I like it a lot, may be tied for third favorite legend with Reshiram and Zekrom.

Hopefully there will be a lot of backstory to these legends. :3 What can I say, I'm a sucker for actual stories and legends in-game; imo, it just gives the legendaries a sense of... completeness, I suppose? Since they are "legendary", it'd only make sense for them to, you know, have myths/legends based around them. I'll be abusing the heck out of the genie trio on Wi-Fi, though, I can tell you that much. :) And probably everything else. But still.

BleuVII September 18th, 2010 12:25 AM

Yay! New info to speculate about.

First off, let's examine the sets together.

Reshiram / Zekrom / Qurem (Kyuremu)* - I believe I said about 2-3 months ago that Ice/Dragon would be the perfect typing to complete the set, for three reasons: 1) It is a unique type combination, just like Electric/Dragon and Fire/Dragon. 2) Like Electric and Fire, people have been calling for one for years now. 3) With an Ice/Dragon combination, none of the trio has a type advantage over the other. Type-wise, they are all perfectly balanced. Also, though Qurem is not very cool-looking, I believe that it, like Giratina before it, will get a new form with the third game and ultimately be the mascot.
*(note: I know that the final spelling will not be Kyuremu, so Qurem is my closest approximation)

The Nio Trio - That flying trio. Yeah, they're ugly, but I think they're based off of Buddhist Nio statues. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ni%C5%8D)
http://www.cynical-c.com/archives/bloggraphics/nio.jpg
Still, putting them all in the same pose is unforgivable.

The Fighting Quartet - Kobaruon (Steel/Figthing), Terakion (Rock/Fighting), Birijion (Grass/Fighting), and Kerudio (Water/Fighting). I don't know why people refer to this as a trio. It seems obvious to me that Kerudio is part of the set. It's just listed a bit later in the pokedex. I think that this quartet is ranked up there with the Legendary Beasts. That is, they are cool, but I think they will ultimately be forgotten. Still, if their movesets end up being good, I can see myself making a team out of them.

Other Legendaries - Really cool. I WANT Victini, and the other two will be fun to get too.

All in all, I'm quite happy with this generation's Legendaries. I would even like the Nio Trio better if they had unique poses.

The Red Chain September 18th, 2010 12:29 AM

Though I don't like the Flying trio much myself, in their defense they aren't the only copy-paste legendaries. The lake trio, as much as I love them, are also copy-paste. The only thing different is their head shapes, eyes, and colors. Other than that, exactly alike. At least the Flying trio have completely different colors, designs, and other little things about them ; including type. XD

Yeah I know the frame of their bodies is copy-paste, but it's really not all that awful to me. The only complaint I have is that two of them share the exact same base stats. That's really not cool at all. They have a thing with repeating stats for trios this generation don't they?

Yeah, but they have different poses. :\ I'll use the Diamon/Pearl sprites here. http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/6/62/Spr_4d_481.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/1a/Spr_4d_480.pnghttp://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/54/Spr_4d_482.png

See? Unlike the cloud trio, these have actually been given their own poses and haven't just been recoloured and slightly tweaked.. :\ The cloud trio are blantantly based of the same sprite. :\

I'd say wait for the third version. Maybe the "cloud" trio will get different poses. I just personally don't see anything wrong with it right now, they still look immensely different to me, despite having the same pose.

You know.. the legendary I'm really disappointed in is the Ice/Dragon. It looks so awkward in it's sprite pose. It's neck is straight out, and all of it's limbs look really stiff. It could be to give the "frozen" feel since it's part Ice, but why must it look so.. inanimate?
Froslass has a hollow body and even she looks more alive than this beast.


Charmageddon September 19th, 2010 3:27 AM

Victini - Eh. It's alright I guess, just your typical Mew-style "cute" legendary. Not a huge fan of it aesthetically - but to be honest I don't have a notable opinion either way on this one.

Reshiram/Zekrom
- I'm almost finding them cool.... but to be honest I'm not a massive fan of these overly "epic", mecha-style legendaries. I don't like that they're Dragon-types, but I guess their sub-types are cool, and their designs are, IMO, better than Palkia and Dialga. I like the Yin/Yang theme.

Kyuremu - I like it. It's got a very ancient look to it - it looks like a dragon from the ice age. Nice typing too. I don't agree that its pose looks awkward, I think it looks like it's about to rise from its ancient slumber to wreak epic pwnage upon the world.

Fighting horse quartet (Kobaruon, Terakion, Birijion and Kerudio) - Hmm. I like the idea, but I'm really not sure on the designs. Birijion is excellent, but Kerudio seems oddly out of proportion and mishapen, like a badly made Fakemon. Terakion looks fat to me (though maybe other artwork will show different) and Kobaruon... I can't put my finger on it but it just seems "off" to me. I think that without Kerudio (who I guess is the master due to its position in the dex) they'd be a lot better as a whole.

Genie Trio (Torunerosu, Borutorosu and Randorosu) - I hate them. I really do, it's like they're personally spitting in my eyeballs. The mouth is bizarre, everything about the body screams "Fakemon", and the colouring, especially on Torunerosu, is hideous. And the fact that they have identical poses is, quite frankly, insulting. It's like the designers couldn't even be bothered. I've wanted a pure Flying-type for a long time, but not one like this.

Meloetta - Eurgh! And I thought the Genies were bad! This thing is just hideous - I'm not a fan of humanoid Pokemon to begin with, but this ugly, mishapen, badly coloured abortion of a Pokemon just takes the biscuit.

Insekuta
- See, now we're back in business! Inscect + Laser cannon = HELL YES! And hooray, we have out first bug-type legendary! I have nothing else to say other than I think the design is excellent.

Ranking (best to worst):

Kyuremu
Bijirion
Insekuta
Zekrom
Victini
Reshiram
Kobaruon
Terakion
Kerudio
Borutorosu
Randorosu
Meloetta
Torunerosu

Overall - Good designs for about half of them, terrible ones for the other half. I wish there would be less of them, really. I don't see any reason why the Genie trio and Meloetta can't just be removed completely.

Oh, and I forgot, #647, again nintendo, what is up with the colors? can we please go back to the day when colors atched eachother and it looked good?

This.

I mean Nintendo, if you can't even make material for different poses, then why bother making them? D;

Also, the cloud legendaries remind me of those characters from TLOZ: Wind Waker. XD


I was right about something for once. ^^

I'm glad there are bug type legendaries! My favorite type!

Kerudio is related to the Musketeer/Fighting-type trio. He is the 4th Musketeer. I think the Musketeers oppose the Nimbus Genie trio.

Oh, and Genesect seems like it was meant to be the next Arceus. Not the creator or anything but it was meant to be the Most Powerful Pokemon Ever. too bad Team Galactic abandoned the project. Also, it's special move, hold items, and different coloured sprites are really reminiscent of Arceus. The artiicial aspect reminds of Mewtwo though.

Well, I saw someone call them that before I started calling them that but they do remind me of Musketeers... and their hats and Pokedex entries hint at it too. And Kerudio really looks like a Musketeer wannabe. AND their ability, Justice Heart makes me think of Musketeers fighting for justice.
