Legendary Mascots Discussion & Speculation
So, with the likeliness of being a new generation, there's always a new duo of version mascot legendaries to go with the games. That said, what do you think the new mascots will be based on or what type would they be?
|
I have a strong feeling one or both will be Fairy typed, because there aren't enough new fairies to go around. I'd assume the Sun mascot to be part-Fire, because it's the Sun and the Sun is hot (derp) and the Moon to be part-Water, because the Moon controls the tides, etc.
|
Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are my guesses for what they'll be based on. :P
|
I am thinking that the will be based of the Norse Mythology vibe following XY. That being said, I think they will be based of the wolves Hati and Skoll who are attempting to devour the sun and moon till the end of days. Now they may change this to make them opposites.
But I would say Fairy/Electric and Dark/Fire or Dark/Electric and Fairy/Fire |
I'm gonna throw a wrench in things and just speculate that there won't be version mascot legendaries, but rather they'll go back to the limited amount of legendary pokemon that have no little to no impact on the story of the game, like in the first gen
|
Dark-type "Bringer of night" and [???]-type (Fairy? Grass? Normal?) "Bringer of day".
And the third one will be something that control the night-day cycle. |
I'm thinking Sun's could be part fire, psychic, or fairy
Moon could be part water, dark, or fairy Perhaps Magearna could be Moon's mascot... |
I think the mascots for Sun & Moon will be Fairy-type and Dark-type respectively. If you look at the logo for Moon it looks similar to the Dark-type symbols from the TCG series, just a thought?
|
If the mascots are based on legendaries, for some reason I think the mascot for Moon will be a Poison-type one considering we haven't had a Poison-type legendary yet (Poison Plate Arceus does not count though)
And for Sun it will be Fire. |
I think the Sun mascot will be the bird we saw, because I believe it'll evolve into a phoenix. I have a feeling there won't be any legendary mascots this time around.
I wouldn't be surprised if this has something to do with Ho-Oh being chosen as the newest Pokemon Centers mascot in Kyoto. |
I have this theory that the Mascots will be based on Egyptian mythology. Sun's mascot could be like Sekhmet, Khepri or Ra, and Moon's could resemble Hathor, Khnum, or Thoth.
|
I have a feeling that a legendary mascot duo for this generation could be a Fire-type (Sun) and Water-type (Moon), but Fairy and Dark could work as well given Fairy tends to be associated with light.
|
When it comes to my thoughts about the Legendary Mascots, I think they could be based on Greek mythology. The mascot for Sun could be based on Apollo, whereas the mascot for Moon could be based on Artemis.

It could also be Fire/Psychic and Water/Fairy (since Fairy is associated with the moon) or a combination of the four. |

I'm expecting Son Goku to be the Sun Mascot and have that chick from Sailor Moon be the Moon mascot. Plz Japan, don't disappoint

Maybe the moon legendary might be a fairy type since moonblast is a fairy move, although Lunatone and Cresselia are exceptions
|
Do we think the strange souvenir might represent one of the mascot legendaries? (or maybe the third in the trio)
It seems like it might factor into this somehow. I think Dark/Fairy could be interesting for Pokemon Moon and maybe something like Fire/Psychic for Sun... |
I actually came up with legendaries based of the sun and moon before these announcements.
Solaron (Sun) Fire/Dragon or Fairy/Fire with the ability Drought Lunaron (Moon) Fairy/Dragon or Fairy/Rock or Fairy/Dark. Maybe the Trio master could be based on earth (Maybe Zygarde which could mean they have a connection to Xerneas and Yveltal). |

I seriously hope the days of Dragon type Box Legendaries are over. Xerneas and Yvetal were a much-welcomed step back in the right direction after the Dragon overkill of DPP and BW/B2W2, and I want to continue seeing different types on the covers of games. Of course, even better would be to start seeing Starters on the boxes again, which I think could easily work with a Sun and Moon naming scheme. |

Apollo and Diana/Artemis. I don't care how they do it, I just want to see these two in their designs. Also it would be awesome to see the games based in a Mediterranean-ish setting, which I haven't entirely ruled out yet but don't have high hopes for.
