5th Gen New Legendary Representations

[Agent Clank]

the best explanation, imo, is that Reshiram is natural light and Zekrom is artificial light (fire=natural, electricity= artificial).

I think thats a great idea.
Natural vs Artifical!

 

[CeroPrimero]

Also the Trio is lible to be, Rain,Snow,Sun or Past Presnt Future.

Do you think they'll be Christmas ghosts? XD

Rain, snow and sun have kind of been covered with Suicune, Lugia, Articuno and Moltres but there's always the possibility for more.

I like the night and day concept for Reshiram and Zekrom but prefer the natural-light and artificial-light theory even more considering neither of them are Dark types. If the Team Rocket for these games is really supposed to be called Team Plasma then natural and artificial elements would really work into whatever their scheme is supposed to be.

This thread also isn't limited to the two we know about. Gen. IV gave us 13 legendaries (14 if you count Phione) so what other legendary types do you all think may come out of this? I, like someone else mentioned, would also be really psyched for a pokemon that embodies chaos.

 

[Iceshadow3317]

Well it was said some where that the weather would play a major role in the game.

Definitely, the perfect accomplice for Arceus. Even if he is a God Pokémon, he can't rule alone and there's no way he made em all himself. With Chaos embodying pure, volatile matter, Arceus would have then shaped the world out of something... even gods have never been shown to simply create.

Overruled: Genesis, chapter one. But I see what you're saying, it would be interesting. However, something tells me we won't see a third Pokemon directly related to Zek 'n' Reshi. Yin and Yang are very distinct dual forces, and assuming they're using that sort of symbolism it would be a bit over-the-top to do that.

 

[Haza]

I've been saying for a while now that'll be Naturalism vs. Industrialization and it seems that the evidence is adding up for this to be true.

You'll have to forgive me, I've never even touched a bible >.> Still whichever way you spin God, something had to have created God or God had to have been formed from something... it simply could have just... been... so by that, there must be a raw state to everything, even God(s).

It could work, maybe not in this generation, but I'd like to see it.

Life and Death Pokemon. That would be epic. =D Plus there could be other Pokemon that helped Arceus, err... Like a Pokemon of Destiny, Void, Chaos--I'm thinking Greek mythology now am I? :P

 

[Leaf Shinigami]

Its Natural vs Artificial

Hence the White Forest against the Black city.

True, most of the Protogenoi already have Pokémon counterparts. Chaos, Phanes, Ananke and Tartaros are the only ones that haven't really been explored. It's not like they're even obscure, Chaos, New Life, Inevitablity (or Destiny) and of course the Underworld.

Here we have the means to pad out the Pokémon universe.

Chaos (Void) to represent the raw state of energy that Arceus needed to shape the world.
Phanes (New Life) to breathe life into Arceus' creations and allow them to procreate.
Ananke (Destiny) to bring balance to New Life. Tying each being with a fate.
Tartaros, which is pretty much Hell personified. We know that Pokémon do die, but perhaps creating a heaven and hell for them would be a step too far.

Arceus needs siblings!

 

[dinosaurodon]

Naturalism vs. Industrialization sounds about right, and when when you industrialize nature it becomes a barren wasteland >desert<=>ground<= ground can put out fire and electricity cant pass through it, i don't know the third legendary might just be a ground type. who knows, i haven't put much thought into it but anything can happen.

 

[orange discontent]

What would a third legendary be like, anyways? Maybe there won't be a third legend and they'll focus on a different legendary all together like Suicune and Pokemon Crystal.

 

[Gardenia101]

Original One

Ummm.... Not trying to spam or anything but, uh, Arceus isn't the original one...

Here, see the movie "Secret Sphere of Influence". In it, Nando tells Ash that the Lake Trio created Dialga and Palkia, and then the trio made spirit and the duo made matter. Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie are the original ones, the one that "Came from an Egg". That's why the books and stuff always talk about the trio "Hatching from the same egg".

See it there.....

"Ash still wants to knows the full legend of the Dragon trio, and Nando tells the group of the Original One, who helped shape the world by creating Dialga and Palkia before creating three other Pokémon to act as the world's spirit."

To quote Nando himself:

"In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos. And at the heart of the chaos, where all things became one." From then on he just goes on to say that the Original One split into three more beings, then it fell into a deep sleep.

 

[Gardenia101]

But I think now they will make a pokemon that lives in the core of the Earth

You're right. That's Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, etc.

It's just a myth about an extremely powerful Pokemon... I can't believe people actually think that Arceus is an honest-to-god, well, god in the pogeyworld. No, Arceus does not need a counterpart. That's Giratina.

Besides, I like the Mew-as-original theory better.

Well so do I, but the Pokémon universe has been spun a different way.

Naturalization vs. Industrialization, and here's why:
Zekrom's tail is like a part of an airplane (sorry, don't know the correct term) while Reshiram's liiks like an old style torch. Likewise, Zekrom's typing is electricity, which is what we as humans use today in our modern civilizations for light, warmth, and several other things in our daily lives. Reshiram is a fire type, the source of light and warmth humans used before electricity was harnessed for daily use. In addition to that, Zekrom is very sleek and artificial looking, while Reshiram is feathery and looks more like a natural animal.
The version exclusive areas are Black City (industrialization) and White Forest (naturalization)

And why do these legendaries have to "top Arceus"? Maybe they can still be amazing without being overly powerful or important towards existence?

 

[Iceshadow3317]

Yall ain't following the yig yang pattern thought.

Yin-yang stand for Day and Night. It has nothing to do with Naturalization vs. Industrialization.

i think people say they have to top arceus because the legends have been getting more powerful every generation.

i agree with the industrialisation verses naturalisation theme but yin ang yang are also part of it
