Reshiram or Zekrom?
 
Hey, with the new games out, I found that the only version exclusives were so far none. Except for Rehiram and Zekrom. Which do you prefer?

Post Away,
Dark Piplup

Eurydice March 17th, 2011 6:23 AM

Reshiram is my favorite out of the two. its just so elegant

Meganium March 17th, 2011 6:28 AM

I wanted a Zekrom on my team, so Zekrom it is. Dragon/Electric types are rare out there, so this legendary impressed me.

Dark Piplup March 17th, 2011 6:35 AM

Actually, I have to say I prefer Reshiram. It... calls to me.

lamby101 March 17th, 2011 6:48 AM

My favourite is Zekrom, I just prefer Electric types to fire types.

travisjb1990 March 17th, 2011 7:13 AM

I like Zekrom. He is awesome. He looks so cool and has cool types. I like him a lot so that is why I got White.

Sammuthegreat March 17th, 2011 7:15 AM

I prefer Zekrom aesthetically, although Reshiram does look cool too. However Fire is my favourite type, so I'm leaning towards Reshiram just at the minute.

vobgro March 17th, 2011 8:08 AM

I don't like Reshiram's crotch hair.

Air Pichu March 17th, 2011 8:12 AM

I really like Zekrom. It brings a new typing to the game, and its still a very cool Pokemon to behold.

FrostPheonix March 17th, 2011 8:14 AM

Zekrom. Dragon electric is what I would call a very special combo, so yeah.

TripLee March 17th, 2011 8:17 AM

Zekrom is the reason I bought white version instead of black. I love the Dragon/Electric combination.

Daikenki March 17th, 2011 8:18 AM

I prefer Zekrom. I don't like fire pokemon. Not to mention I only chose White at first because Zekrom was the legendary. It just looks very badass. Not to mention that tail of his looks like it could crush you from one swipe. I also have this awkward love for electric pokemon. I don't like dragon types AT ALL, but... Zekrom is the only dragon pokemon that I considered using.

Dark Piplup March 17th, 2011 8:19 AM

Mainly opposite for me. One reason I got Black was because of Reshiram.

Erufuun March 17th, 2011 8:19 AM

Reshiram for me, it's just so awesome! :D loooove the crotch hair
the only reason I played Black first, because I like the exclusives on White better~ Aside from Whimsicott. ;~;

Beechlgz March 17th, 2011 2:04 PM

I would probably prefer reshiram to be honest, but I got white and I'm happy to settle with zekrom. I prefer the pokemon choice overall in white and I'm glad I never have to encounter that dreaded gothita in white, and get to have the cool bubble cell pokemon (forgot its name).

Agreed. Else, I'd have gotten Pokemon Black. I mean, I just love the fire type. Electric's sexy, too, though. The crotch hair, and I'll admit, the awkwardness of the hands kinda turned me away from it.

Fake Sketch March 17th, 2011 2:27 PM

Zekrom all the way baby. I feel like choosing between yugioh monsters.

Pwnyta Jockey March 17th, 2011 2:42 PM

I prefer my Pokemon to be rather attractive looking. Mostly due to me enjoying playing Pokemon this time around as the "female trainer" I kind of opted to play with girly-cute Pokemon.

Reshiram is my Dragon preference.
Like Kyurem more though. Pressure is awesome.

Calamity March 17th, 2011 2:47 PM

Zekrom, I just love the futuristic feeling they've given it, and its unique typing.

Oblivion Wing March 17th, 2011 3:46 PM

Zekrom!! Reshiram is just... bleh for me haha

Dominus Temporis March 17th, 2011 4:08 PM

I like them both, but I prefer Zekrom just a bit more. That generator tail looks awesome, plus I like Electric Pokemon a bit more than Fire. Dragon/Fire seems like such an obvious combo, even though they hadn't done it yet.

However, if Kyurem's alternate form is awesome enough it may well take top spot for me. Either way, this may well be my favorite legendary trio.

Notworking15 March 17th, 2011 4:55 PM

Reshiram i liked, its more mystic-looking, plus i loved its cry. Zekrom seemed like it was made by artificial means(no offense to Zekrom lovers at all).

by the way: where does Kyurem come from?

Ho-Oh March 17th, 2011 5:03 PM

I love both. :( Well, on the title screen, Zekrom looks best, but as a whole, Reshiram has the best design/typing. And my primary game is White, so I'll probably get more exposure to Reshiram cause I'll keep replaying Black. :( So I dunno, it's even! Going to add a poll, too :3

Heart Gold March 17th, 2011 5:35 PM

Reshiram wins for me and I got Black like I wanted. But I still intend on getting myself an Adamant Zekrom!

Dark Piplup March 17th, 2011 5:43 PM

I can understand boys prefering Zekrom because it's masculine.

(Kyurem is from the Giant Chasm)

.Eevee-Chan March 17th, 2011 5:55 PM

Reshiram. :]
I usually go based on a frilly girly appearance, and Reshiram fits perfectly.

ElectricScyther March 17th, 2011 6:16 PM

Really, I can't decide. They're both awesome.

gatomon810 March 17th, 2011 6:17 PM

My fav is Reshiram,Idk why I don't realy like hard core looking pokemon,I like the cuter pokemon,and Zekrom is kinda......hard core I guess is the best way I can fraze it.And Ik RESHIRAM IS NOT CUTE I DON'T THINK IT IS!But I think Zekrom is the complete opisit.BUT don't get me wrong,I like them both,but my favorite is Reshiram

DarkraiDaviz March 17th, 2011 6:19 PM

RESHIRAM FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mod note: Seems like you're bypassing 25 characters - next time just add more content to your post instead of a lot of exclamation marks.

Spanner226 March 17th, 2011 6:59 PM

I can say that I like both visual appearances equally, and that I have some sort of dragon pokemon obsession. However, I usually go with more special attack/defense-based pokemon. Therefore, I prefer Reshiram over Zekrom, though I can't help but admit that Zekrom's types(dragon/electric) are very unique.

But which I prefer is a subject to change.

In other terms...
Reshiram= Godly dragon
Zekrom= Godly dragon

mewichooseyou March 17th, 2011 7:26 PM

Reshiram all the way. I got White and my boyfriend got Black but when we meet the Zekrom and Reshiham we're just gonna trade right away. :D hehehehehehehehe

Yusshin March 17th, 2011 7:28 PM

Reshiram. Zekrom is a bucket full of fuglypoo.

レイジングブラスト March 17th, 2011 7:42 PM

I'm a bigger fan of electric types than I am of fire so that's one of the main reasons I pick Zekrom. Plus I like using tough looking Pokemon that have the stats or abilities to back it up and Zekrom just appeals more to me in that sense than Reshiram.

mysticjoshgaming March 17th, 2011 8:06 PM

zekrom! reshiram looks like a overgrown rooster

Legendary Silke March 17th, 2011 8:53 PM

I love Zekrom because he's so awesome. That's all. Really. I didn't really care for the other one.

XXIII March 17th, 2011 8:58 PM

<3 Zekrom. It seems like people are hatin' on Zekrom a lot. I'm glad to see a few supporters in this thread.

インフェルノの津波 March 17th, 2011 9:05 PM

It's funny how Reshiram is the Yin counterpart and Zekrom being the Yang, since Yin is actually the more masculine of the two, and Reshiram has a lady-like air. Yang is more feminine than Yin, and Zekrom ironically represents Yang, pretty funny if you ask me.

Anyway, I choose neither. Kyurem is where it's at, baby. Kyurem represents Wuji, and empty circle, even more symbolic to what place it holds in the Unova mythos.

Lol this. I don't care what legendary I have since I don't use them, and he really wanted Zekrom, so we're trading. That way I have both in my Pokedex, and he has the one he wants.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE March 18th, 2011 6:10 PM

Reshiram. I love that it's part fire and its design is just so elegant :)

Barn March 18th, 2011 6:27 PM

I love both, they're awesome in my opinion. <3

LokemonBlack March 18th, 2011 9:29 PM

Feel guilty admitting that I choose white over black first from the box art of Zekrom. Didn't disappoint me though!

PlatinumDude March 18th, 2011 9:37 PM

Both are equally awesome, but I like Reshiram better because of its Blue Eyes White Dragon resemblance.

The Noob Hacker March 18th, 2011 11:52 PM

Reshiram. I like how elegant and flowing it looks. Although I do like Zekrom, but it doesn't have the fluidness of Reshiram. Plus, Reshiram looks graceful and majestic, where Zekrom just looks bulky and clunky.

(And Reshiram has a cooler name.)

Hikamaru March 22nd, 2011 4:55 AM

I voted for Reshiram because I'm going to play Pokemon Black.

Tsundera March 22nd, 2011 5:56 AM

I bought Pokémon Black under the impression that I'd be able to capture the exclusive "black" legendary; I was pretty dumbfounded when I realised my version would be giving me Reshiram :<

Zekrom looks so much more cooler and has an epic type-combination that I'd actually consider using in my team, and I don't like to use legendaries!

tjb90 March 22nd, 2011 5:57 AM

Zekrom is my favorite. It is so cool. It looks epic. It has really cool types too!

D0N3GAN March 26th, 2011 7:54 AM

I selected "They're both awesome" in the poll because they are.
But coming down to it my favourite is Zekrom due to its Electric/Dragon typing.

Omnomosauras March 26th, 2011 10:00 AM

Reshiram. Baby. :D He's just so, cool looking.

Giraffe March 26th, 2011 10:04 AM

Zekrom is cool, but Reshiram is so elegant!

/Sides with Reshiram

Speed March 26th, 2011 10:09 AM

I like Zekrom better, but I got Black because I like the exclusives better.

DarkVhozon March 26th, 2011 5:01 PM

I traded my Zekrom to get Reshiram data in the dex. They are both pretty awesome. I like each for diffrent reasons. I always prefer dark to light, but I honestly find Reshiram inspiring.
Also, I hate Zekrom's sprite I swear it is pixelated. But the animation when you fight N, in that moment I knew what power was.

The Nightmare March 26th, 2011 11:17 PM

I like both because they look very cool.

danno 507 March 27th, 2011 10:23 AM

I love reshiram! too bad i cnt have tho :(

Virgilia March 27th, 2011 10:46 AM

I love Zekrom! They look so much more cooler than Reshiram... xD

Dark Piplup March 28th, 2011 2:19 PM

Even when I say I like Reshiram I look at a Zekrom somewhere and fall into a Zekrom mood.sigh...

blue March 28th, 2011 2:20 PM

Reshiram, I prefere it's design :)

Nakuzami March 28th, 2011 2:26 PM

Er...Zekrom.

Originally I liked Reshiram better, but Zekrom just grew on me. Plus I played through White first so i've only experianced Zekrom. Hopefully i'll get Reshiram by tommorow ;)

This, I loved Reshiram at first and hated Zekrom but then Zekrom grew on me and I bought White. I'm playin White first with Snivy!

kissing. raindrops March 28th, 2011 9:28 PM

I like Zekrom a lot more because he looks so much sweeter, with his black body and blue flashes :3 I haven't used Reshiram yet but I will be soon since I am starting up my Pokemon Black game.

Rionix March 28th, 2011 10:35 PM

As meganium90, lamby101 and travisjb1990 said... Zekrom has a unique type combination, has a cool-looking appearance and its black and I like color black so yeah, Zekrom all the way :D

Cryptys March 29th, 2011 12:13 AM

I'm a guy and I actually preferred Reshiram b/c it is so feminine and smooth. I thought Zekrom looked rather clunky/blocky.

However, when I first heard about Black City vs White Forest I was like "Gotta go with the forest." And it's actually nothing special. O.o

But now that I have Zekrom, I'm loving the Electric/Dragon combo as well.

Pokemon Trainer Touko March 29th, 2011 12:21 AM

I like both but Reshiram is prettier than Zekrom imo. plus it's a fire type. XD

Misheard Whisper March 29th, 2011 1:00 AM

As soon as I found out that there was going to be a Dragon/Electric Pokemon at LONG LAST, I knew I just had to have it. That's all there is to it. It's just a bonus that it happens to look awesome.

I don't use it much, though. It's still only level 53, and I'm well into the postgame.

Palkia March 29th, 2011 1:37 AM

Why would I prefer a chicken with a trigger to a electronic powerhouse?

Tristz0t March 29th, 2011 1:45 AM

If I had to choose between the two, I would choose Zekrom. Mainly because I love electric types and it's sprite is just pure awesome. But really they are both great.

Citrus Knight March 29th, 2011 5:50 AM

Reshiram guys. Reshiram all the way.
My Reshi ~
I mean just look at that sexy face. Those long, flowing wings. HOW MAJESTIC.
It's one of my legit favorite Pokemon and its hard not using it on my team even now since I don't like using legendaries :I
LIKEMYPOORBABYENTEISITTINGALLALONEINITSBOX

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ March 29th, 2011 10:05 AM

I have them both (due to wifi, oh how I love wifi :D ). I prefer Zekrom because it's black and looks better


:t354:TG

Heart Gold March 31st, 2011 10:42 PM

I'm psyched to get Cucumber, does anyone else think it's cheap to use ubers? It's so cute even though I love Pickle. Is there any difference at Dragonspiral with Zekrom or Reshiram?

champagnepapi March 31st, 2011 11:09 PM

I prefer Zekrom over Reshiram, mostly because of its beatiful design and typing.

blue April 1st, 2011 6:37 AM

Not sure who's who, Rshiram = Pickle & Zkrom = Cucumber? LOL.

Ho-Oh April 1st, 2011 6:46 AM

Yes, you're correct. Now with that in mind, try replying to the title question if you haven't already.

Yingxue April 1st, 2011 6:47 AM

Reshiram is some stupid furry's wet dream.

Zekrom is awesome c:

Alakazam17 April 1st, 2011 6:51 AM

I prefer pickles, because THE GREATEST PEOPLE EVER last longer than cucumbers.

<s>Also because I think Electric Dragons are cooler than Fire Dragons.</s>

Oryx April 1st, 2011 6:53 AM

Pickles have a better taste imo, much tangier. But pickles don't go well in salads. I don't eat many salads though, so...Pickle wins.

The Eagle April 1st, 2011 6:55 AM

I prefer Reshiram but I own a Zekrom cause thats the one I had to get due to me owning White

pokewalker April 1st, 2011 6:59 AM

But... this has nothing to do with the games? Anyways, I prefer cucumbe r since it's delicious :)

blue April 1st, 2011 7:00 AM

Good point,

I prefere Pickle, alot of people are Cow for Cucumber plainly because hes got a better apperance but I think Pickle looks better.

Cucumber = Z ekrom
Pickle = R eshiram

It's being Censored for today ~ applesauce day ;)

And now I assume V oting = cow?

Superjub April 1st, 2011 7:27 AM

I prefer Pickle because it tastes better. ;)
Seriously though, I don't like the taste of pickles. XD

Ho-Oh April 1st, 2011 7:33 AM

Guys. Really. Choose either Z|ekrom or R|eshiram. Don't pick Pickles or Cucumbers, otherwise it's off-topic.

Scraggiland April 15th, 2011 1:15 PM

My favourite of the two has to be Reshiram even though they're both awesome.
I personally think Reshiram looks better than Zekrom.
;]

Eeohnex April 20th, 2011 8:58 AM

It was a hard decision for me to make when I had to decided which one to buy; Pokémon Black or White. I decided to get Pokémon White for the exclusives and of course, for Zekrom. Glad that finally Game Freak decided to give us a Dragon-Electric type Dragon, not also that, but his/her/it looks are beastly.

Aether★ April 20th, 2011 9:05 AM

When I saw Reshiram, I knew I must play Black. Reshiram is now my favorite legendary overall. Great type combination and it just looks great.

NamelessGuy April 20th, 2011 9:06 AM

I don't like either of them. They're just like the legendaries of the previous generations - overpowered and annoying.

Bloo April 20th, 2011 9:10 AM

I love both of them, but in terms of design, Reshiram has a better design. I got White, so I caught Zekrom. I've never really had much exposure to Electric-type Pokémon, so I like Zekrom in that way. I guess they're even for me.

johnny18 April 20th, 2011 9:14 AM

I do not really like both of them......They are just not really impressed me so much...

trespasser April 20th, 2011 9:16 AM

I liked Zekrom more. To me Reshiram looks like a unicorn somehow. I imagine it like, dancing in rainbows or something like that. Lol, I like both a lot, but just Zekrom better. Although I like Zekrom better I use Reshiram more in the game. (I have both)

pokecole April 20th, 2011 12:44 PM

zekrom rules i think personally

AusDon April 20th, 2011 2:40 PM

I don't use either, so I traded my Zekrom for a Reishram on the GTS. (For pokedex data). Then I traded it for something else... I mean, they are both banned on online matches, so I feel like they're both still cheap to use in-game. But that's just my opinion. (Same goes with anything else banned).

In terms of design, I like Reshiram. Zekrom is just cluttered and dark to see any detail.

Seeds Horizon April 20th, 2011 3:10 PM

I loved my Zekrom, before I reset and now currently on the 6h gym *sigh*. And I dont understand why people think they are OPed or unfair to use in game..Its just like using Haxorus or even a Serperior..Heck, any Pokemon. Its meant there to be loved, and slaverizied (if thats a word..lmao) in battle! If not..>_>.

Well, it's base stats are relatively high.
Probably higher then any non-legendary in Unova.

BattleBeard April 20th, 2011 5:28 PM

I am a boy, and love the Reshiram.

bajram1892 April 20th, 2011 5:58 PM

Reshiram is the best, FIRe types rule over electric types and with him you can have a complete fire team to fight any type pretty much :)

Rionix April 20th, 2011 6:54 PM

^ its just a matter of opinion but as I am an electric-type fan, and trainer. I will and always will be for the electric types... Zekrom FTW!

Boarbeque April 21st, 2011 12:42 PM

I like Zekrom's design better than Reshiram, which is saying something because I dislike both of them compared to Kyurem.

Molts April 22nd, 2011 7:55 AM

I really like Zekrom's design, in that he's a bipedal winged Pokemon, but has separate appendages for arms. That's very very rare in the Pokemon world, and he has a giant lightning generator for a tail, that's just fancy.

Nikorasu April 22nd, 2011 8:09 AM

You notice so much detail and elegance in Reshiram, to bad i bought Pokemon White.

Rai May 5th, 2011 2:24 PM

I love them both but I have to go with Reshiram.

Palamon May 5th, 2011 2:30 PM

Reshariam. It's prettier. I think it looks good in Dream World artwork too.

Spyderlyze May 5th, 2011 2:38 PM

I prefer Zekrom for looks but I think Reshiram is the better legendary in battle.

IceGod64 May 5th, 2011 2:58 PM

Wow, Reshiram and Zekrom both had 41 votes. Then I voted Reshiram.

I like them both, but I now like Reshiram more, even if he does remind me of that bizarre dragon from the Never-ending story....
