    It has been brought to my attention lately of a trademark named "Marshadow".
    I have a strong hunch that is is indeed the 3rd legendary pokemon. No pics are shown yet or any confirmation, but by the name itself, it's an obvious adding of the word Shadow to the word Marsh, making me personally believe that if that is indeed the 3rd legendary to connect both mascots, it'll be something along the lines of a Ground/Ghost type.
    This combination is something we have never seen and personally if that's the case, i'm very excited.

    So what do you think? What would be this mystery name's typing or design? How will it connect the 2 legendaries that were already discovered? And what's his role in the whole scheme of things?

    A Ghost/Ground Pokémon would be super cool either way.

    Okay you got me there, an undead Fire/ghost roasted marshmallow would be hilarious as all fuck XD

    But you know, an alligator ghost would be also cool
     
    If Marshadow is anything to go by, then I'd imagine it would have something to do with an eclipse. The Moon covering the sun casting a shadow on the earth is an eclipse, if this trademark is correct then that would definitely fit the theme.

    That's also a great option, perhaps only when you get both legendaries together in the same spot (the ceremonial stage maybe?), you can discover and fight Marshadow (which would make for a very interesting post-game).
     
    Something to do with Umbra and Penumbra probably.
     
    Marshadow could also be a combination of Mars and shadow, which would be more in keeping with the celestial theme of the other two.
    Mars is often associated with fire.
    Mars is also the Roman God of war, so a Fighting type wouldn't be out of place, and maybe Steel too.

    Of course, naming the third after Mars kinda leaves the rest of the planets out in the cold. Plus would the Pokémon world even have the same planets as our world?

    Maybe "Marsh" is meant to convey the idea of the planet Earth itself, thereby keeping things celestial.
     
    That trademark did not have the same code as the others used, so it is possible that it is not the 3rd pokemon. But not impossible.

    The 3rd pokemon is probably an Eclipse Pokemon and not about Mars.

    It is also possible that all of the Legendary Pokemon are based off planets and stars. If we get a more average amount of pokemon, 120 or so maybe, there will probably be at least 10 legends.

    If we do get other islands and not just this one, I have a feeling that each island will have its own legendary, which coincidentally is also the number of planets in our solar system. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
     
    It could refer to 'martian' (マーシャン) which literally means from Mars, but generally means just alien. It has the same beginning (since Japanese is phonetic). So some kind of alien legendary creature.

    Or, you know, it could not actually be a legendary and just a random normal Pokemon.
     
    I like the idea of an eclipse based Pokemon. Could match perfectly with the sun and the moon.
     
    Sounds a bit similar to 'Marshtomp,' so might be a bit weird. And the shadow of the Marshtomp shall embrace the world with muddy water...

    Anyway, wonder if they can make another third legendary who leads to quashed third-version speculation. An eclipse theme would be underwhelming, in some ways, and might also be ruled out because it might require significant variations between versions, but might require an additional legendary between these. They could have one based around the wolves that chase the sun, for instance, which could lead to interesting sequels such as 'Pokémon: There is no longer a sun.'

    Alternatively, they could just go the easy route and follow with Pokémon: Twilight.

    In general, though, they'll probably also have legendaries which are 'Mythical,' or perhaps a few obscure ones like the Regis, so while it's likely that a third one will be involved at some point, the specifics might depend in some way on whether they get significantly involved in the plot, or what their role there is going to have to be.
     
    I love the designs of both the Sun and Moon Legendaries, so I can't wait to see what the possible "trio master" to it might be. I don't know much about that trademark and where it came from, so there's not a whole lot I can say about that.


    I'm very open to any and all possibilities, including a theory about having Zygarde serving as the trio master to both XY and SM. It's part Ground-type and from what we can tell so far its lore is connected to the ecosystem of Poke-Earth... so when it comes to a celestial body theme it could fit in with Sun and Moon's Legendaries without any major problems I think. Something else, but to me the designs of Sun and Moon's Legendaries are almost a little similar to Xerneas and Yveltal. They're based on some sort of animal like Xerneas is a deer and Yveltal is some kind of bird, and now we got a lion and a bat. Their ornate details in their designs remind me of XY's too a little bit.

    It's a bit more on the elemental side, so not quite in that way. They're going for a Zygarde plot in the anime already, which is fairly elaborate, so this might imply that they might not want to extend the Zygarde thing too far into another region. It would probably be exhausted a bit by then. In addition, they might not want an old Pokémon to have any particular position above the newer legendaries of S&M, which might overshadow them.

    It might just be like Giratina who isn't an internal trio master. Instead we could get something else. Or maybe it's the trio master, but not the third one.


    As for the name... Remember how Solgaleo and Lunaala seem to have spanish in their names? Well Mar is spanish for sea. So it might be a sea of shadows. Which in turns makes me think the void of space or Umbra and penumbra.

    Edit: Remember by old theory of the three children born from the purification of Izanagi? Well in addition to being the storm god, Susanoo is also the god of the sea. Mar is spanish for sea... Susanoo's sister is the Sun Goddess, their brother is the Moon god. Sun, Moon, and Sea. Sol, Luna, Mar.
