5th Gen New Legendary Representations

CeroPrimero said:
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.

I see what you mean and here's what I see happening: in the past the legendaries have represented physical portions of our world and universe. Once they struck time, space and creation, well, there really was no other way to expand the way they were going. I think now they've shifted gears and from here on out we'll be seeing more morally controversial issues and theories represented by our legendaries. So maybe sixth generation will be anarchy and law. Things like that.

I was like hm, could it be Dragon/Ice?
I didn't thought of Ice being able to be produced artificially and naturally lol!
Now it makes sense :P

Mew and Mewtwo covered that.
Honestly, I think Reshiram and Zekrom repesent good and evil. Yin and Yang anybody? (Yay for me, Captain Obvious)

Well again Yin and Yang don't only mean good and evil...they are opposites, actually this isn't the first time we have seen yin and yang, we saw in in gen 2 with the sky and sea, gen 3 with Land and Sea, gen 4 with Time and space then in Pt it became Time/space continuum and the reverse world filled with antimatter...
So it might not be Good and evil after all.

I think the trio should represent my favorite "D's":
Death: Dark/Ghost
Destruction: Fire
Disease: Poison

I'm a sick sick Beauty Killer ;)

Ooooh... if only that could be done.

I'm thinking from my first post we need a third runner with Cresselia and Darkrai. Something representing the full moon: a werewolf pokemon!
 
Well forgive my igorance :P When my brain starts going I can't stop myself.

I wonder, are Game Freak attempting to educate us through entertainment O.o Not that it's a bad thing on the whole, I just hope they don't try and squeeze in a racial message -_-

^ THIS.

People, read this seriously.

Many natural dualities — e.g. dark and light, female and male, low and high, cold and hot — are thought of as manifestations of yin and yang (respectively).

Mew and Mewtwo didn't cover anything, they were there for the sake of a little storyline but really weren't representations of anything.
Also, Yin and Yang isn't just good/evil. It's a universal theory that is used to show all opposites or opposing forces carry some of the attributes of the other side, or to show that without one force there cannot be the other.

You are very right about Yin and Yang, good another person who knows about it :)
 
Question: Since when are the creators obligated to top ANYTHING from the previous generation?
