5th Gen New Legendary Representations

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.
No yin and yang have to do with opposing things, such examples include Male and female, light and dark,land and sea, and also Nature and Industry, there are also other things.
 
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?

Although this is very likely; remember CoroCoro stated in June thatReshiram is the Yang Pokémon and Zekrom is the Yin Pokémon. What has the ying-yang in common with industry and nature?

Again; while Zekrom's turbine, Reshiram's torch and the whole exclusive-places thing makes sense with nature and that; what about the Pokédex entries?

ya i do believe they are called the white yin and black yang pokemon??
 
Ok,I'll go with that,but I still somewhat disagree. I guess we can't get a clear answer untill confirmed.......................which Serebii is lacking today.......

Ya Stratus,you are right

Uh, Yin and Yang involve polar opposites, they don't only stand for Night and day like most think. They stand for opposites and Nature is the opposite of Industry does allowing for it to be used :)

Yup of course.
When there're males, there'll be females.
When there're lights, there'll be Darkness.
So Natural vs Artifical does make senses.

It feels nice to have someone who understands the concept is more than Day and night on :)
 
Lol,it could be somethign totaly diffrent from what we think. Even if one of us are right. There is still thousands of possabilities. Because mostly everything has an opposite.

I just with Serebii would give us a lot more news. They said they where goign to get tons today,but they have failed to post any.
 
I think the third one will balance out the attributes like for example if it's natural vs. artificial it would represent that you can live with nature and industry in one :) Same if it's night and dark it would twilight/dawn/dusk :)
 
I think the trio should represent my favorite "D's":
Death: Dark/Ghost
Destruction: Fire
Disease: Poison

I'm a sick sick Beauty Killer ;)

No-one here has been suggesting that they have to "top Arceus"... I just thought this was a thread for brainstorming ideas about legendaries... you know, as well as discussing Reshiram and Zekrom.

I'm not after anything particularly strong, I've never used a Legendary in a team because they just don't fit in with my style :P Because all my Pokémon have to 'look the part' too

Well I don't think the trio that Zekrom and Rashirom belong to fit this but another trio could ;)

Well I thought I read "how are they going to top arceus?" in the first post.
And considering Industrialization v. Naturalism are complete opposites, it still fits the Yin/Yang entry. I personally haven't seen this pokedex entry, but still. Also, the pokedex is a simple, limited description. I rely on the facts that I see, and make inferences off that. I can't possibly think that Game freak just slapped on fire/electric typing and jet turbine tails and said "HERP DURR DERP IT ARE EVIL/GOOD I ARE SO DEEP LULZ"

The OP mentioned topping Arceus. But I'm extremely glad the thread hasn't branched off this way as there is no need to top any pokemon.

Naturalism and Industrialism is eaily my favourite theory. I mean southern Isshu is pretty advanced but the North is pretty rural for the most part.

Also having a Chaos Pokemon would be so awesome!
 
Yeah I think they made them represent something, also have you noticed they have one of the types of the legendary birds? Rashiram=Mortres, Zekrom= Zapdos... third one = Articuno ?

I'm sorry dear friend but Reshiram and Zekrom are dragon types while Zapdos and Moltres are flying. If that's not what you meant, and you mean that the third should be Dragon/Ice, well that'd be awesome. Not sure how that'd tie in with the story though.

Yeah I meant the elemental type :P. Well ice can be produced artificially and naturally :)
 
I did ask how are they going to top Arceus. I meant it in saying how do you go beyond what Arceus represents? Generation I the legendaries for the most part represented the seasons and aspects of the weather. Gen. II built a little off of that with the three beasts and Lugia and Ho-Oh as the Guardians of the sea and sky respectively. From there Gen. III brought us the overseers/creators of land, sea, and sky and Gen. IV gave us the pokemon that shaped time, space, and the universe itself. The question is more like, how do you go beyond that? How much deeper can the origins go? Its not to say they necessarily have to go beyond Arceus but if you look at each generation the legendaries powers and representations have all gone steps beyond their predecessors and I just can't think of anything bigger than creating the universe except for pokemon representing Chaos or the Void.
