New formes of Thudnurus, Tornadus and Landorus.

In the bottom left. Guess it clears up the bird everyone was wondering about in the silhouette of the AR searcher.

Ho-Oh May 10th, 2012 9:49 PM

Is anyone sure this is 100% true/confirmed yet? Because I honestly hope not. I liked the genies as genies, not as birds. >__> I mean sure they don't look "that" terrible, but wow, dnw.

destinedjagold May 10th, 2012 9:54 PM

Goodness me...
I never liked those three genies, and now they look even worse... x,x

No they have not been confirmed.

Also Thundurus looks like a Dragon.

Tornadus seems to be the only bird. Landorus seems to be a turtle/tortoise and Thundurus has no wings.

vaporeon7 May 11th, 2012 1:32 AM

Ir really hope this is all part of some cruel hoax. The kami trio look not right in these forms. It'll be interesting nonetheless.

Ho-Oh May 11th, 2012 1:34 AM

Ohh right! Dunno, but Landorus also seems like a bird while Thundurus doesn't really. :(

Quote:

[ unconfirmeddd ]

Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus are exclusively captured in the 3DS game; Pokémon AR Searcher, and then sent to the Black 2 and White 2 games from there

- Serebii
That seems kinda... weird. First 3DS-exclusive forms? o_O Dunno seems unbelievable imo. BUT HEY they threw B2/W2 at us when we just expected a third game.

wombateiro May 11th, 2012 1:54 AM

Wait... doesn't that bird Tornadus look like silhouette from AR Searcher?
If those forrms are real, that proofs the finding about placeholders in B/W is false or incomplete.

Zelda May 11th, 2012 1:59 AM

Well that adds to my list of "get used to these". Um if these are real, I hope they show full body shots of the three soon. I'd like to see how their full form looks, and I mean we only have this month left until the games hit Japan and they better hit us with a ton of news.

I wonder how we get these formes?

blue May 11th, 2012 4:37 AM

Well this is kind of a let down, White Kyurem & Black Kyurem that's ok but I think they're kind of pushing it with these. I liked them the way they originally were so I hope it's fake.

Shining Raichu May 11th, 2012 5:59 AM

Wow, why so much negativity? D:

I looked at the Kami Trio and thought "omg wow that's awesome!" I thought they looked utterly stupid as genies... they didn't look like Pokemon at all, and that always bothered me. I know there isn't huge art to really do much judging at this stage, but I think they look far better in these forms than previously.

I hope these rumours are true!

Gonzo May 11th, 2012 6:01 AM

I personally hate Tornadus' new forme, so ugly... Thundurus looks like a lizard and Landorus like a bear. I like that, actually. I actually think that the latter two will lose their Flying typing. then, they would make a starter-like weakness trio, but with Immunities instead of resistances. I also think their Base stats will differ and abilities will be changed.

Hikamaru May 11th, 2012 6:05 AM

I agree with all the new Kami Trio form haters.

They look so ugly... glad I don't have a 3DS.

dreamcatcher May 11th, 2012 6:12 AM

Err...they are kind of ugly. :X tbh I hated them before too, the way they all look almost exactly alike, but now they just look...poopy. :I

Keiran May 11th, 2012 7:11 AM

Thundurus's claws remind me of Beartics, and his head looks like a dragons- I like it. Tornadus doesn't look so hot, in this picture, in my opinion- below the neck, the design looks awful.

Sydian May 11th, 2012 7:27 AM

I didn't think there could be uglier Pokemon. How did they top that? They look absolutely atrocious. Unless I'm missing some kind of link between genies and birds/dragons/wtf ever landorus is supposed to be, then it just makes NO sense. Rotom formes? Good! Giratina formes? Good! Shaymin formes? Good! Genie formes? ...WHY?!

I hope these rumours are true!

Even though I never actually liked this particular trio, I did like the genie concept. However, these new forms [if they are in fact legit], seem so unnecessary and the designs to say the least aren't that great - which is putting it kindly. To be honest, they don't even look like they go together anymore except for being symbolized by an animal of what they represent. Tornadus looks like a bird (Air), Landorus a turtle (Land), and Thunderus I'm guessing is a lizard or dragon of some sort or something closely related to representing thunder.

As far as the genies "not looking like Pokémon" that's very debatable as you can say that for a lot of the Gen V Pokémon, as well as a few from Gen IV (ie. Rotom's different appliances forms).

I really hope GameFreak doesn't overdo the different forms for B2/W2, as it's beginning to look like they might. :\

Shiny Celebi May 11th, 2012 7:38 AM

At first glance, I don't like them, though I never liked the Kami trio in the first place, they looked too similar, maybe this is Game Freak's way of making them different from one another. I need to see this confirmed and see official art before passing judgement on them.

Legendary Silke May 11th, 2012 7:57 AM

The more I look at the new formes of the trio, the more I think "nope, this can't be right, and yet here they are". I guess I'll have to deal with this fact - that they have just gotten new formes. At least it won't look too similar to each other this time around. Guess I'm going to have to agree with Shiny Celebi on this one.

PlatinumDude May 11th, 2012 8:00 AM

I'm leaning towards this scan being a hoax. I mean, the Kami trio just doesn't look like when they look like birds. Even though they're Flying-typed, they don't have to look like birds because they're in constant flight.

LegendaryFSK May 11th, 2012 8:17 AM

From that scan, I'm not diggin' these. Hope they aren't real. However if they are, I reserve full judgement until we get full shots of them. At the same time, I agree that if they are real, at least they won't look too similar anymore.

Mr Cat Dog May 11th, 2012 8:51 AM

I don't particularly care about the new Kami trio - never cared for them when they were 'genies' and still don't care for them now that they're apparently 'birds' - but I love that Game Freak are thinking outside the box when it comes to new versions of Pokemon! While this news hasn't endeared me more to the Kami trio, it certainly hasn't diminished what little love there was, so I guess this is OK in my book! :D

Killjoy May 11th, 2012 9:06 AM

I don't mind em. They all look a lot better than their original forms.


The BW2 dragons seem to be very happy about something though..

Scorpiopt May 11th, 2012 9:11 AM

I think they look better this way , hope we get more info on this

blue May 11th, 2012 10:19 AM

I can't really judge from just one look, maybe if we get a better image my opinion will change.

See I remember a rumor before BW about a Bird, Turtle and something else trio. this could be them. And now we know that the bird silhouette on AR was. No wonder Ken was so secretive about it.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 11th, 2012 12:46 PM

Well they look strange...r...I do like Tornados, and what is Landorus suppose to be anyways?
My guess is that if Landorous is a turtle it'll lose it's flying type unless it's a flying turtle...

Zayphora May 11th, 2012 12:51 PM

Tornadus actually looks nice. The others look ugleeee.

Lost Lore May 11th, 2012 1:05 PM

From what I can see, I think they look better than they originally did. I've never liked them as the genies, and this possible forme change might be just what they need for me to like them that much more.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 11th, 2012 2:59 PM

In another thread it was pointed out that the green outline didn't cover the "shell", perhaps landorous isn't a turtle but a Owl, it seems to have an owl like beak and it's head is turned...

Bluemoon May 11th, 2012 5:01 PM

i dont know what game freak is trying pull off and i think they are testing their pokemon fans...so you know ill support them....!
I dont really know if i like the designs... well they should release an official art before we could shun this pokemon in the pokemon world.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 11th, 2012 5:08 PM

I really wanna see the full version of Thundorus and Landorus, those two's new forme's are difficult to tell what they are suppose to be...

Bluemoon May 11th, 2012 5:15 PM

Oh yea that is what they reminded me of... the Underworld's Harpieshttp://www.aulamanga.it/yugioh/mostri/harpies_lady.gif
Ohhhhh we should call them that: the Legendary Harpies

Zelda May 11th, 2012 7:46 PM

So formes are confirmed from CoroCoro. Seeing a better photo of the form for Landorus (though not by much), I actually like it.

Jellicent♀ May 11th, 2012 7:59 PM

The new forms are cool as heck! o3o
I like Thundurus' form best. B]
I like that the forms give them a boost in different stats, too.

Ho-Oh May 11th, 2012 8:06 PM

Sacred beast forme? Welcome to ubers, Landorus... And probably Tornadus. Yaay might play OU now :3 I dislike the formes though ;;

Bluerang1 May 11th, 2012 8:08 PM

So Bianca wears the glasses now...? N looks younger haha. And I'm glad the World Tournament is confirmed.

Also love the Sacred Beast formes!

We'll get used to 'em!

So on the title screen where we predicted the genie trio to be on the bottom screen (where Virizion, Terrakion, and Cobalion were on the top), could it be the formes instead? I wonder what role they will playyy.

I can't put pieces together on how this will all work out. u_u

Ho-Oh May 11th, 2012 8:20 PM

I won't :( Well not quickly at least. I liked that they were humanoid! Not animalssss maybe they were mutated into their second formes the way Kyurem was?

Renyui! May 11th, 2012 9:17 PM

Robots + Tyranitar

This is a good day.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 11th, 2012 9:27 PM

I still can't tell Landorus forme...but the other two look great, I specially like Thundorus' dragon look. I do wonder if there will be a way to shift them back to their normal formes...

Ho-Oh May 11th, 2012 9:57 PM

OKAY now I've properly looked at them, I kinda like Landorus now, but Thundurus is perhaps the... yeah idk, SO UGLY.

Actually no, I really like Landorus/Tornadus. I approve of them. :)

Killjoy May 11th, 2012 10:04 PM

When I look at them again I just see three East Indian guys in costumes lol I'll have to see some different art of them before I start to judge.

Look at the bottom right of this pic:



The Basic Badge is first in the badge case and Cheren is said to use Normal-types so I say he's the first Gym Leader.

Now, if one looks at this pic:



The starters get new artwork too. I'm also starting to think Bianca is the one who gives you the starter.

-ty- May 11th, 2012 11:00 PM



Here is a bit better of an image. I am not crazy about thunderus (although it's an improvement), but I really like Landorus and Tornadus! Landorus' form flows well, resembling a tiger/lion. I don't think these guys are that ugly anymore!!!

Complete CoroCoro scans and summaries can be found here!

Treecko May 11th, 2012 11:07 PM

Tornadus's new forme looks awesome, but what the heck is Landorus' form is supposed to be. Is it's a dog-god?
I think Thundurus's new forme is meh. I couldn't complain though.

From what I read on Bulbapedia, Cheren replaces Lenora as Gym leader. But if her original gym is covered in ice does that mean they moved it to a new location?

It's odd seeing Bianca as a Juniper's assistant.The new artwork looks great.

Not really odd seeing as Bianca became Juniper's assistant in Black and White. Almost every point after Castella Bianca is with Juniper. At first she said she was her body guard, but she was assisting in the research too.

I see N in that. He dosen't look much different. I wonder what his role will be in these games?

Also Cheren will have a Patrat. I wonder where his other Pokémon will go...?

Perriechu May 12th, 2012 1:35 AM

Am I the only person who loves the new versions of them? ): I think they look really good tbh. Idk what the hell Thundurus' new forme is, I can't tell.

Zephele May 12th, 2012 2:08 AM

I think the new formes look pretty cool. Thundurus... looks like an eastern dragon? Just by the way the legs are, it seems that way to me. It's certainly not as distinct as the other two, but it's by no means bad design-wise.

Maybe they're based on mythical creatures; Tornadus is one of many mythological birds, Thundurus could be a dragon, and Landorus is a shisa? It'd make sense given how their alternate formes are based on kami and all that.

Bluerang1 May 12th, 2012 3:34 AM

I wonder where Lenora is though. She's too much of a good Gym Leader to get rid off. And we don't need a Normal Elite 4 member since we have one as a Gym Leader. Hopefully we get to battle her at some point.

blue May 12th, 2012 3:42 AM

Cheren, N & Bianca look waaay better than they did in Black & White, I love Bianca's new style with her hair down etc. Cheren looks more sophisticated and N just looks more .. care free?

Bluerang1 May 12th, 2012 3:59 AM

I don't like the new looks. Bianca is too covered up and baggy. I don't get why Cheren is squinting and has red cheeks. N looks less sinister. No me gusta.

Aquarius1997 May 12th, 2012 4:16 AM

I actually like tornadus bird looking thingy and the new tiger landorus

I dont like thundarus because it looks to ghost like to me(it even has the
will-o-wisp at the bottom

Hikamaru May 12th, 2012 4:25 AM

Take a look at Cheren and Bianca's new look, Cheren lacks his glasses. Maybe he had his eyes laser-corrected or he's wearing contacts?

Now Bianca looks like the nerd, her hat looks cute. Maybe she developed a sight problem and had to start wearing glasses.

Anyways, I love their new designs so much I'm showcasing them as my latest theme.

The new forms for Tornadus/Thundurus/Landorus were a disappointment.

Also Cheren being the 1st Gym is a letdown cos he said in B/W that he "wants to get stronger". He was one of my fave characters in Unova, and why did they give him a Patrat? It's such a weak Pokemon. So weak that I can beat him with just my starter. But enough ranting, I love the new features.

Ho-Oh May 12th, 2012 5:05 AM

@Aquarius: I don't think it looks like a ghost, rather a robot (in that one image of the 3DS AR searcher), and due to my dislike of robots... :(

Cordelia May 12th, 2012 6:26 AM

Landorus and Thundurus will be awesome but Tornadus, ugh... I don't really know. xD I guess we'll find out how they work out... but I'm excited about them for sure! Each time more news of B2W2 comes out, I get more excited for it!!

mikey May 12th, 2012 7:15 AM

I love the new forms for Kyurem, but the new forms for Landorus, Thudurus, and Tornadus are disgusting and laughable.

PlatinumDude May 12th, 2012 7:37 AM

Okay, now I am utterly convinced that the new Kami trio formes are real. From an aesthetic point of view, I like Tornadus' new forme; it actually suits it because of its pure Flying status. From a competitive standpoint, I like Thundurus and Landorus' new formes because high offense is my style. I hope their Speed stats don't decrease when they change formes.

I'm surprised that Cheren and Bianca made reappearances in B/W, with Cheren as the Normal Gym Leader and Bianca as Prof. Juniper's assistant. That was quite a shocker to me.

And old characters making a comeback? Sweet. I've always wanted to see Steven, Lance and Blue in games other than the Kanto/Hoenn based ones.

Killjoy May 12th, 2012 7:40 AM

Lookin at them again, I like em all. Considering no one really expected them to come out with new forms, and the old ones were pretty odd, I don't see how anyone could be disappointed.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 12th, 2012 10:35 AM

Landorus looks cool as a tiger, though I think they should've made it a fox to fit with the whole inari theme, oh well.
I find it interesting that they chose these three forms for them...

-ty- May 12th, 2012 3:25 PM

I found this as a speculation on the background and origins of the new formes.

"(This isn't stated in the magazine.) Fan speculation on our forums is that the three new formes are inspired by Aztec legend. Tornadus is Huitzilopochtli, who after it died became a green and purple hummingbird, Thundurus is Quetzalcoatl, who after it died became a serpent, and Landorus is Tezcatlipoca / Tepeyollotl, a jaguar. In the Pokemon AR Searcher screenshot on the left side of the 3rd scan and in the anime poster on the right side of the 7th scan, you can see each of them resembling those animals (a bird, a snake, and a jaguar)."

I agree with this. It just makes no sense at all. Hopefully there's an explanation as to why he's the first gym leader in the games though.

Now that I can see the new forms...ehhhhhhhh my opinion isn't changed much. I like Landorus as the tiger...thingie, but I don't like the way his eyes look lol. Looks like he'll start babbling and drooling like Taz in Loony Toons. I still think Tornadus looks dumb as a bird. You can't go from a pissed off looking genie to a happy bird. And that color scheme...even though I think the post above mine gives us more reason as to why these forms are the way they are, that puke green and medicine purple doesn't work on a bird. Thundurus looks eh.

Bianca actually looks cute now! Yay! Aaaand Cheren looks too plain. :( Oh right. Normal gym leader. Pff.

Yeah, I love how Bianca looks all nerdy now.

Cheren looks so different without the specs, I assume he's wearing contacts.

Squirrel May 12th, 2012 5:00 PM

I adore the look of the new scared beast forms of the Kami trio; they look so powerful and inspiring! Although my main interest is how they're going to implement these new forms into the games; I can't see them being a main part of the story due to the whole Kyurem plot, so how else will they be introduced? I think their stat increases are certainly interesting; Tornadus seems to get the best deal out of it by far though. xD

Boarbeque May 13th, 2012 1:54 AM

Regarding the Origin/Basis for the new Thundurus/Landorus/Tornadus Formes
 
Thundurus is Quetzalcoatl "The Serpent"
Landorus is Tepeyollotl "The Jaguar"
Tornadus is Huitzilopochtli "The Hummingbird"

Went from Oriental to Meso-American references. Quite interesting indeed. (corrected by magmaruby)

At first, I also thought this made no sense at all, since you could battle his Pokémon at lv. 65 on the previous games.

But then this hit me: What if these low-leveled Pokémon he's got in B/W 2 don't mean he's been downgraded?
Perhaps he figured he should help new trainers out instead of being a total powerhouse, and decided to be one of the first (probably the first) Gym Leader(s) of Unova to encourage/give them advice.

I find that very possible, especially after those B/W scenes in which Alder asks Cheren if being the strongest trainer was really all that mattered, and told him there could be other options.

IDK, this theory seems to make sense to me.

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE May 13th, 2012 6:45 AM

I'm loving what I'm seeing of Tornadus' new forme :)

Also now that I've seen that pic of Landorus I have to say it looks pretty awesome too :)

Zayphora May 13th, 2012 6:48 AM

It's 2012, lol.

TBH, I don't know why they'd do this, but it's a nice change of pace. I can't get the new formes though, I just have a DS...Too bad. I liked Tornadus's forme.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 13th, 2012 7:46 AM

Uh you mean MesoAmerican right, Hispanic are the spanish and present day spanish speaking latin America, not the Mayan, or Aztec's ^_^
Either way I find it nice that they reference the fact that god's sometimes take Animal forms.

Possibly a reference to Johto's beast trio or possibly just showing off they that they know about American history. They have referenced nuclear bombs with Victini, our country's symbol with Braviary and now this to reference the history of Texas and the Mayans/Aztecs/Incas.

Zayphora May 13th, 2012 12:16 PM

Ummmmmm...since when is Victini a nuclear bomb?

Appears at the bottom of the Liberty Garden Tower.

Well the Liberty Garden Tower is the Statue of Liberty.

Victini is a Fire/Psychic type.
Victini's Dex Entry: It makes limitless energy inside its body. It releases this energy on any Pokemon who touches it.

Limitless energy that is extremely volatile? Fire/psychic type? This is a reference to nuclear energy.

Victini also references Victory and possibly also VJ day, the day we celebrated Japan's surrender in WW2 after nuking two of their cities.

No, it shares its energy. It's not volatile. The idea of Victini being a bomb is a weak theory, not well-supported at all.

On-topic, I like the switch-up of historical references. It makes them feel less one-dimensional, and more like individual Pokemon.

PlatinumDude May 13th, 2012 4:36 PM

I actually like the Kami trio's new formes (Tornadus and Thundurus in particular). But I don't get why Landorus' new forme looks like a tiger when it's a half-Flying Pokemon.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire May 13th, 2012 6:01 PM

What cat is Landorus, I hear Tiger, but I also hear some say Jaguar...to me it looks a bit of both...why are legendary cat Pokemon so difficult...
Either way I like it, it's like a flying cat!

God trio( as I'm calling them now) might have turned to Animals so they may keep better track of humans, and possibly that might be why they appear in the Ar Searcher, tracking the player's moves...

Doubt its a reference to Johto's trio seeing as only Landorus is a Beast. Tornadus is a Bird, which would be Kanto, and Thundurus is Dragon like which has no region smaller trio and can't match Sinnoh as they were 4th Dimension bodies.

Uhh if there's such a thing as a sabretooth tiger then I think it's that or at least looks most like a tiger :x

They certainly look better now, but they're wearing bras now.

Ho-Oh May 13th, 2012 6:54 PM

Lool yeah I agree with Tornadus actually. That kinda annoyed me at first tbh since from the angle it's on. Landorus not really and I try to forget Thundurus' new forme exists :x

Well I must say I actually like the new forms for Tornadus and Landorus after seeing better pictures of them. I didn't like them at first just from the cover. I'm thinking the new Landorus form is my favorite of the three. As far as Thundurus goes, I have no idea how I feel. Part of me wants to like it's new form along with the other two, but then part of me wants to hate the design of it.

Well about the "bras" if you look at the dream world art for Thundorus and Tornados you'll notice they had them even then...I think they'll just spots.

They don't look like bras...what looks like bras is Swanna.
