They both look really nice! Probably will stick with Sun though :S
|
I'm thinking of getting Sun. I think Solgaleo will be Fire/Steel, Fire/Electric (referrencing plasma, which the sun's surface is made up of), or Fire/Fairy (mystical lion).
|
Solgaleo and Lunaala are beautiful. Sun is more interesting to me at the moment though.
|
I think I prefer Lunaala. There's something about Solgaleo that kinda turns me off right now. I think it's the mane, it just looks strange. Maybe it'll grow on me.
Lunaala looks like a bat demon that would go around stealing everyones soul. It looks both majestic and sinister. I actually feel like Lunaala could be a Ghost/Dark or Ghost/Fairy type. (maybe Ghost/Psychic but they just did that with Hoopa...) Something about it's design is screaming ghost to me though, I think it's the skeleton-like body. |
I don't really get why everyone keeps calling Lunaala 'demonic'. To me it looks regal, not at all demonic!
|
Lunaala looks like a skeletal vampire... very elegant and mystical, yet creepy.
Solgaleo is majestically accessorized and a white lion with a galaxy face... nuff said I am thinking their storylines will be influenced by the volcanic creation of the island meeting the sky.. there might also be some space-related storyline for Lunaala since they keep mentioning that pokemon could be from space in other games |
It seems there's another trademark with the name of Marshadow, possibly the eclipse Pokemon.

I've seen the Pyroar/Noivern theory around on a few other social media outlets--Something about these legendaries being Mega forms? I don't believe it myself, just thought it was interesting. uvu
|
I highly highly highly doubt that. Pyroar MAYBE (although huuuge stretch) but Noivern looks nothing like it when you really consider its features. Moon's mascot looks more humanoid feminine (with bat-like features) whereas Noivern doesn't look humanoid at all. I mean if that's where mega evolution is heading then please get rid of mega evolutions.
Marshadow sounds cool though. :) |
I noticed many 5th Gen connection theories, as shown with the starter popularity, but I wonder if anyone noticed the dominant colours of the legendaries? Sun's legendary is white, and Moon's legendary is black.
Unova confirmed lol |
I'm like one of Unova's biggest fans ever and even I can admit that we're not going to have anything to do with Unova this generation. There's just no solid reason to skip Sinnoh for Unova (as much as I'd like).
The dominant colours are just to do with what the represent - the Moon represents night which is dark (black) and the Sun represents day which is bright (white). If it was named anything else the characters would reflect those colours. |

I like the idea that, based on the Japanese trailer showcasing the moon when the boy was feeling sad and showing the sun when he was feeling determined, that perhaps the theme of these two legendaries will encompass "hope" and "despair."
Also, they both seem to have yellow-goldish diamond-esque motifs sprinkled throughout their design. Perhaps that has something to do with the yellow diamonds on the Japanese logos. |

Kerberos (Sun) and Yue (Moon). GF taking cues from Sakura? Really funny, hahaha. Expect Solgaleo/Kerberos to be Fire/Rock and Lunaala/Yue to be Fairy/Flying. Yep, Solgaleo defeats Lunaala. But comes packed with horrible weaknesses as well. Kerberos would beat Yue in Sakura anime as well IMO, because he has his own power source (like the sun) whereas Yue must draw power from Sakura (like the moon). Well, I guess my player characters can't be named anything other than Syaoran and Sakura, then. :P |

Did you notice the video clips playing the background of the second video at the videogame store? It showed both legendaries using their ultimate attacks.. I didn't study them any further for more Easter eggs or secret reveals, but the Solgaleo attack is cool.

I'd call that a fairly solid reason. |
I just have this feeling that the sun legendary will be fire/psychic, and the moon one will be ghost/fairy.
I Guess I'm going with moon. |

I think Solgaleo will be Fire/Rock and its attack... SolarFlare |

Ghost/Fairy and Fire/Psychic seems like a safe bet. And as some people mentioned, Lunaala looks like a dreamcatcher, which is a contradiction by itself: Ghost types being associated with nightmares and Fairies associated with hopes and dreams. The more I think about it, the more I prefer Lunaala. It seems GF decided to put more energy in its design as opposed to Solgaleo, which has a few turn offs for me: For starters, the name. I just can't seem to like it.
Second of all, why a lion? So many felines introduced lately...I don't like it. 3rd, by the looks of their attacks I can already say Lunaala's got the better edge, the animation is more menacing, it has some connection to the legendary and its designs, etc. |
The attacks might be regularised between them, so they might not end up that different in the end. They might hence end up quite similar, and perhaps have certain, legendary-associated moves in common. Perhaps the lion could have some sort of Solar Beam-related gimmick, to make up for its being a repetition of earlier designs, mostly? Maybe they have an excuse to spam the caves with Zubat and such even more than ever before now, thematically. Perhaps that is what they really mean when they say that all of their previous game design ideas come together.
