We can't really compare the Kyurem from the games with the Kyurem from the movie. The anime doesn't always follow the same rules as the games. Just look at how Deoxys changes formes in both of them. In the anime, Deoxys can change freely, while in the games, it originally depended on the game it was on. Now, you need to interact with meteorites to change its forme. Just because Kyurem appears to be able to change formes at will in the movie, doesn't mean the same will happen in the game.

Also, I don't think that we got 2 games because there were 2 formes, nor do I think that we got 2 formes because we there were 2 games. I believe Game Freak planned this all along, introducing 2 new formes for a Pokemon in 2 sequels. 1 isn't a result of the other.

I was wondering if someone was going to point this out! I couldn't remember what the original names were, but I knew they weren't "Fusion".

I don't think that would look so ridiculous. Darumaka's animation shows it pulling its arms and legs back into its body and appear to fall asleep for a second. Look close at the original pictures of the "overdrives". Other than the tubes and glowing, what is different? Nothing else. They are still bascially Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, not a new forme. Here's both pictures:



See? Same formes, even pretty much the same art, just upgraded a bit. We can't compare this to the Shadow Pokemon because they didn't physically change and the "high pitch" of emotion was triggered randomly. Also, Darmanitan's Zen Mode is also a forme change, so we can't compare that either. Zen Mode is triggered through loss of HP, not emotional stress, and actually looks physically weaker. But these "overdrives" look very powerful, so it wouldn't make sense for a Pokemon to appear its most powerful when it is close to defeat. Emotion isn't a stat, and one could also say that simply being in a Pokemon battle is enough to trigger intense emotions in a Pokemon. (see Reshiram's and Zekrom's overdrives)

I still say that this will probably just be part of the sprite animation. Until further info comes out, this makes the most sense.

I agree with you. It would make little sense to have 2 different formes of the same Pokemon as the mascots of the games if both formes are available in each game. I think the formes will be version exclusive, or at least the method of obtaining the formes will be.

Again, Movie said Kyurem already has their powers. It got them at its birth.
Again, we can't always compare the anime to the game. Personally, I feel like the formes will simply be unable to be changed once you obtain Black/White Kyurem since they are supposed to be "separate Pokemon". (However, Shaymin used the Gracidea Flower in both the anime and game, so an item might be possible.)

But I have to disagree with the "had the powers at birth" thing, in a way. Kyurem are supposed to be able to absorb the powers/genes of the other dragons, so in theory, it could have possessed this ability since its birth. But I don't think that means it was born with the other dragons' powers already available to it without needing to absorb them. I guess what I'm saying is that Kyurem isn't born with Reshiram's and Zekrom's powers, but it's born with the ability to absorb their energy. (same difference, maybe?)

I meant that having those tubes coming out and hiding all the time in battle would be ridiculous and annoying. If Overdrive mode is again only animation I think it would be the best if those tubes would be triggered in one intro animation after sending Black/White Kyurem to battle and later there should be just glowing.

All of the Pokemon have 1 animation that loops throughout every battle. I don't think they are going to make 2 sets of animations just because of few people don't think the tubes should be seen the whole time.

But the tubes probably represent the fact that Kyurem is feeding off of another Pokemon's energy to make itself more powerful. (The tubes come from the tails and connect to its back, and since the tail is considered the source of power, having the tubes connect throughout the battle shows that Kyurem isn't obtaining its "overdrive" on its own, like Reshiram and Zekrom can.)

Read carefully, please. It's not the problem of seeing tubes all the time but the problem of having them disappearing and appearing all the time. That would be weird for those tubes to be constantly doing that.

Those intro animations would be another feature missing in B/W, probably removed to be re-added in B2/W2. If Zekrom's and Reshiram's Overdrives made use of animated sprites, Black and White Kyurems' Overdrives could made use of intro animations by growing tubes from body during intro animation and keeping them visible for the rest of the time.

I knew what you meant, but that would still upset the animation loop. You're assuming that the tubes appearing and disappearing will be annoying when we haven't even seen it yet.

I don't understand your concept of "missing features". I see little purpose for an initial animation other than to take up space for programming that could be used for other purposes. Chances are they will do the exact same thing as Reshiram and Zekrom. When you send out Black/White Kyurem, it will probably appear at first in its normal form, then as the animation progresses, the tubes will come from its tail and connect to its back, triggering the overdrive for a few seconds before reverting back to normal...just like Reshiram and Zekrom. It probably won't seem so annoying to you once we are able to see it, if it actually happens that way.

Guys heres an alternate (and slightly implausible) take.

What if the new forms don't arise from kyurem, but from reshiram and zekrom instead?

Think of it as Kyurem taking over the [email protected]' bodies, and using that body to become more powerful. Also, it'd get the new moves this way, while using the [email protected]' movesets.

I know it probably won't happen but it's an interesting idea.

Movie already shows that Kyurem is the one that does the switching, Reshiram and Zekrom aren't needed to physically be there. Movies tend to hint how the legend's Form changes work (Shaymin switching when its near a Gracidea and Giratina switching between worlds) Game wise we get an additional method (Giratina gets the Griseous Orb which is from the Distortion world).

Kyurem is either going to be able to flip or have an outside item like how Deoxys needs the Meteorites. (Although before the Meteorites came to be Deoxys could only switch when traded to a different Game, Normal in R/S, Attack in Fire Red, Defense Leaf Green, and Speed Emerald.)

Since Kyurem's forms are similar to Deoxys so far, its most likely a free switch while in the respective game, if they don't bring forth an item in April.

There is no harmony in Wuji since it's a void of nothingess; It's literally nothing. Wuji stays at dormancy (meaning at rest; which may explain why Kyurem is waiting at the cave and hasn't been active until possibly Reshiram and Zekrom became active. This may also explain B2/W2's formes) until it becomes Yin and Yang; then it becomes balanced and harmonious.

You can take Kyurem's typing for example; It's Ice type. Coldness often corresponds to voidness and nothingness in symbolism. You can see this symbolism in many movies. Specifically, there's a Independent movie on YouTube (called "The Big Empty") that uses this idea (in a strange way but philosophical way).

You're not exactly right.

Quote:
In Taoism and Chinese culture, the term wuji (pronounced "woo-zhee") means a state of harmony and balance -- emptiness, stillness and peace. It is limitless, infinite. It is when everything begins moving and you lose balance that you also lose wuji. In the Taoist view of the universe, if we were to look at it from a modern scientific view, the universe was in a state of wuji just before the Big Bang. There was a state of perfect peace and then all hell broke loose. Things separated into yin and yang.
In Taoism perfect harmony exists only when there is nothing. That "nothing" is the concept of original wuji Kyurem. We know that wuji Kyurem separated into Zekrom and Reshiram which is exactly the same like wuji separated into yin and yang.


Quote:
In Tai Chi, the goal is to maintain a sort of wuji -- balance and harmony; to remain centered. When someone attacks, and you must adapt and change to accept this person's force, your goal is to return to wuji -- the state of balance you were in before the attack.
I think that new Kyurem forms are based on Tai Chi because they are mixes of wuji and yin or yang. They have power of yin (Zekrom) or yang (Reshiram) but remain balanced because of partially being wuji (original Kyurem).

I posted long time ago that I thought new Kyurem form will be based on Tai Chi. It looks like I was right about that but my mistake was that I thought there will be only one new form.

That has not been proven yet. However, while each dragon could very well represent these concepts, Kyurem has no known biological relation with Reshiram and Zekrom. The only sign of a relationship is Kyurem's forme changes to take on characteristics of 1 of the other dragons, but that still does not mean they were all originally 1 dragon.

EDIT: Just saw this on Serebii.net! Kyurem's Formes will remain Dragon/Ice-type.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised when I saw that. Then again they can't add three types to a Pokemon so it either had to be Ice/Dragon, Ice/Fire and Ice/Electric, or Dragon/Fire and Dragon/Electric.

^ Maybe they will change the typings for the forme next generation like they did with Rotom...though I don't see why they didn't now...Maybe they will have Resh and Zek's signature moves.

I thought earlier they will remain dragon/ice because dragon is their main type and they are still partially wuji Kyurem - ice typing symbolizes wuji.
They will probably have abilities to boost their electric/fire attacks, to boost their yin or yang energy from Zekrom or Reshiram.

I think the typing just shows it's still Kyurem and not a fusion as some people thought. At least we can move past the "Pokemon fusion" theory, I hope.

Why would they need to change the types? Rotom's type was changed because they felt it made more sense for it to keep its Electric-type versus still being a Ghost after it possesses an object. Makes sense enough.

Kyurem's types were just revealed yesterday. I doubt they'll be changing them.

Since this is still generation 5, I don't think they'll give Kyurem new abilities, which would prevent it from being used against B/W players. With the upcoming Keldeo event supposedly being for both B/W and B2/W2, that seems to mean that the games will be compatible to an extent. I'm still betting on a new hold item to boost maybe ice and fire attacks, and another that boosts ice and electric attacks or something like it.

Well how about 2 new moves? Maybe Blazeice and Voltice. Something in that nature. Giving it a 2 type attack. That would be new but over powered I would think. Sorry if someone has said this already

White Kyurem will be getting Ice Burn and Black Kyurem will get Freeze Shock. Both Ice-type moves.

New Kyurem's forms won't be able to be traded to B/W, so I don't see any reason there couldn't be new abilities for them because they won't be able to be traded anyway. When Pokemon changes back to its previous form, its ability is changed back too, so Kyurem would have its Pressure again after changing back to original form.

I really don't think Kyurem will have anything to do with Fire or Electric types.

The forms are still Ice/Dragon, and the specialty moves are still Ice.

Freeze Shock has a chance of Paralysis, and Ice Burn has a chance of Burn, that's all that will change.

Maybe new stats but I doubt it, Kyurem has good defenses compared to Zekrom's Attack and Reshiram's Special Attack, so it'll probably stay a defensive pokemon to balance things out.

But I can see its BST boosting, considering it was oddly low before (660). So maybe it will indeed get a boost to its Attack/Special Attack while still having solid defenses.

But for battling purposes, it would need an ability that already exists. Think about it this way: No Pokemon right now can learn or use Ice Burn or Freeze Shock, so why were they included in B/W? Chances are that it's because they knew they were giving Kyurem new formes to use those moves. That makes the most sense to me, otherwise, they could have left those moves out of the game and them be a surprise.

You're right about those two moves, they were already programmed in B/W to make possible to trade Kyurem from B2/W2 to B/W without need of changing moveset, but new abilities could be exclusives for B2/W2, just like new Kyurem's forms. Two Kyurem's forms with Pressure would be boring, they should have abilities which would make them more different from each other.

In that case they should just give them Reshiram and Zekrom's abilities since it has their "genes"(according to the anime), than their signature moves could be powered up as well, creating a powerful attack.

But new abilities would bar Kyurem from battles with Black and White. I don't they'll want to do that. I'm starting to suspect they'll get Turboblaze and Teravolt. This would make them more like Reshiram and Zekrom, and not have the "boring" Pressure, which is actually a pretty good ability.

This point is fairly moot as backwards they most likely wouldn't be able to battle against one another, and if they could, you most likely couldn't use the new forms at all and would only be able to use Regular Kyurem.

I can't remember if Origin Giratina, Rotom Forms, or Sky Form Shaymin could be battled against in D/P or if they revered/got he note you couldn't battle when they appeared.

Never tried to battle Platinum with Pearl/Diamond so I don't know.

I've battled my brother's Diamond game with my Platinum and was able to use my Origin Forme Giratina. On the Diamond game, it had the Altered Forme's sprite, but retained Origin Forme's stats and Levitate ability, plus my Origin Forme sprite was unchanged. But from what I understand, that forme and Rotom and Shaymin's weren't able to battle through Wi-Fi. I figure that will happen with Kyurem as well, but I think normal wireless battles won't be a problem for it.

I'm not saying that White/Black Kyurem will be totally compatible with the previous games cuz that's just not possible. I'm just saying that B/W will probably still be able to battle B2/W2, just like Diamond and Pearl could battle HG/SS or Platinum.

Hold on... if there are Ice Burn and Freeze Shock hidden in B/W coding, maybe there are new abilities for new Kyurem's forms as well? Or maybe Teravolt and Turboblaze are programmed in B/W to boost electric/fire attacks but only when new Kyurem's forms will be using them in battles between B/W and B2/W2.
