Sure looks a lot like Carbink. Maybe their relation is like Phione / Manaphy?

I could see Diancie being similar to Vespiquen. Diancie could be a queen and she rules over all her Carbink drones :P What's throwing me off is that their Pokédex numbers aren't that close to each other like Manaphione, which is why I don't think they are related as far as family goes. Could be more of an ecological relationship.

If I recall, Keldeo is seperate from the other Swords of Justice, and the Tao trio and Forces of Nature are in a strange order, so it may not be out of the question to see them seperated in the Pokedex (though, we've never really seen a hypothetical relationship like this either).

One thing I didn't realize this until just now though, is that Carbink's Japanese name is Melecie, while Diancie retains its name across multiple languages. So not only does it have the similar typings and appearance, but they share similar names as well.

Does anyone know what the three Pokémon are based from? I think Diancie is derived from diamonds and something else but what about the other two? Hoopa's name makes me think of rings and Volcanion's name makes me think of volcanos. Volcanion doesn't really look like a volcano with that giant handle on its back though.

Hoopa is probably just hoopa because it's got hoops. :o

I'm sure the "Volcan-" in Volcanion's name is because of Volcanoes, since it's fire/water. Though yeah it doesn't look very volcano-y... I don't know where the -ion came from, could have just been to make it sound cool. ;3

As for Diancie, yeah I think I remember its pokedex entry to be leaked saying something like...
Spoiler:
...it produces diamonds in an instant by compressing carbon with its hands.


I don't know what the -cie means though.

That's nice in that case, Nymphadora :3 I wanted Lilligant to be more bellydancer-y, but it didn't really turn out like that.

Lilligant is gorgeous though >w< I absolutely love its design. Especially shiny. It does learn petal dance though, :D

Diancie just seems more like a fairy to me (which is fitting I guess since it's part fairy). With a cute little dress.

Well the name does sound like dancing :P
With Diancie getting its own movie, I wonder if the other two will get their own movie? Or maybe the partiality trend will continue and Diancie will be the only one -_-
Hmm...
Which of the three new Pokémon is your favorite?
I want to know which one is the most popular. If it wasn't for Volcanion looking like a mash-up of Liepard, Heatran, Gigalith, and a ring, it would be my favorite because of its type combo. Diancie is probably my favorite because Carbink is cool and it reminds me of Carbink lol

It's definitely gotta be Diancie in terms of looks, with Volcanion being second. As for Hoopa, well... I'm just not really fond of its design, to be honest. Looks sort of freaky. Can't really tell which I like when it comes to battling, as I haven't used either of them. :P

Diancie is definitely my favorite. The other two are awkward to me, Diancie is very beautiful, adorable, and graceful looking :3 Also fairy is one of my favorite types, and rock is one of my least favorite types, so it's nice to see another awesome fairy type, and a super adorable rock type :D

I like Carbink as well, though of course we don't know if they're related. The similarities are cool though.

I actually like Volcanion and Hoopa better. I guess Volcanion is a mix of volcano and canyon, Hoopa's gotta be an uncreative name based off the fact that it wears "hoops". It's down there with Roselia, Tangela, Cacnea... Hm, I seem to generally dislike pokémon names ending with "a".

Volcarona is a good name though, since it's volcano + corona, I think? A justified ending with a!

Still, Hoopa is more my kind of cute. It reminds me of Banette, another pokémon whose design I love. It'll be interesting to hear more about the lore surrounding these new pokémon. And why they chose to put them in a region inspired by France... You would have thought the "three musketeer" legendaries, Cobalion etc, fit better here than in a region based off New York.

Hoopa definitely gives me that Shuppet/Banette (especially Banette's mega evo) vibe. Hoopa's name is the most fun to say of the three but its name or design should've been tweaked. I'm guessing those hoops are going to be significant? As for Volcanion, does it even resemble a volcano? Or is its name derived from a similar word? I keep associated the -ion at the end of its name with actual ions but I accidentally typo'd ions into lions just now, so maybe it's a mix of volcano and lion :P

But legendary trios/event never have any association with the real life counterpart of their native region (and if they do I'd say it's more of a coincidence). So far Diancie's lore isn't sounding very impressive. It was the result of a Carbink that "suddenly transformed." How that transformation gave Diancie the ability to play a major role in the upcoming movie is beyond my imagination. I wonder what new power(s) were obtained from the transformation.

Well Hoopa and Diancie are tied. Diance for design, Hoopa for typing. Like what has been mentioned, Hoopa reminds me of Banette (with its voodoo/Hindu designs). Diancie exudes elegance.

For some reason, Nintendo removed the posting where it said Diancie was a sudden transformation of a Carbink. I wonder why...

Also, they're probably event pokemon, not trios, so the lore doesn't really matter.

Just because they were leaked at the same time, a lot of people seem to think they are trio. Personally though, I don't. If they were, they would've looked similar to each other and had matching characteristics, just like all other trios. These three—they're nothing like that. They are all unique and different in their own way.

I always assumed Diancie, Hoopa and Volcanion had a similar role to Shaymin, Darkrai and Arceus- clearly not a trio, but they just happened to be held back together, so one might assume they were if they hadn't seen them before.

As for myself, I like Hoopa out of the three most, mainly due to its design and its Psychic/Ghost typing (which kind of surprised me that it hadn't been used until now). Still, I'm very happy that they're cutting back on the number of legendary Pokemon we're getting, as 13 each for Sinnoh & Unova was getting a little much.

To tell thetruth my favorite among them is Volcanion. It has awesome typing and a doughnut on it's back. Diancie looks okay although I don't like the stone at the bottom. Hoopah looks weird to say the least.
