    on diamond and pearl we might know that on one of them will be a lucario but what do you think will be on the other one?
     
    Rukario will probably be a promotional legendary, like Mew, Celebi, Jirachi and Deoxys. 2 unrevealed pokemon will probably be on the covers.
     
    I'd like them to use the FR/LG, Red, Blue and Green idea. Like, the starter is the cover pokemon. I really doubt they would put Rukario as the cover pokemon... and if they do, I'll just slap myself.
     
    They'll probablly make Rukario the cover if a third version of DP (like Crystal and Emerald) comes out.

    DP will most likely have 2 legendary "insert animal name" on the cover.
     
    Yes, I sincerely doubt that Lucario will make a cover appearance, if any at all. Was Mewtwo on a cover? No.

    As I recall, when R/S were nearly ready to premiere, almost everyone everywhere thought Latias/Latios were to be on the cover. Sadly that wasn't the case.

    Hmm I really like the idea of going back to the r/b/y and putting the starters/evolution of starters on the cover. However, I'd like to point out something...

    Red - Charizard (red)
    Blue - Blastoise (Blue)
    Yellow - Pikachu (Yellow)
    Gold - Ho-oh (Gold)
    Silver - Lugia (Grey/silver)
    Crystal - Suicune (Crystal/blue)
    Ruby - Groudon (red/ruby)
    Sapphire - Kyogre (blue/sapphire)
    Emerald - Rayquaza (Green/Emerald)

    Anyone notice how the chracters on the boxs are the same/similar color as the version? Maybe Diamond and Pearl are indications of the appearance of the new legendaries?
     
    While color may dictate what color Pokemon appears, there are other things to consider. Number of Legendaries, for example. R/S/E has had the largest number of legendaries to date (far past being completely rediculous because of the lack of good ingame Pokemon). Had R/S/E been like R/B/Y with only one primary legendary (Mewtwo in this case), it's almost certain that Treeko/Sceptile, Torchic/Blaziken, and Mudkip/Swampert would have been the cover Pokemon of those games.

    Something I'd like to mention. We have had some trends develop, and they've become almost expected. The Legendary trio, for example. The birds, the dogs, the Regis; we've come to expect every game to have these triplets of powerful, yet limited Pokemon. Along with that, each game has had a Legendary Legend that is unobtainable through normal means, and each of these Pokemon has rounded base stats at 100. Because of that, I'm going to reveal the possibility that Rukario (or Lukario if you have it that way) will be one of those Legendary Legends. It may not be part psychic, as per the pattern, but the new generation games have already dealt a blow to most preconceived patterns with the release of the four-phase Deoxys.

    Another pattern that seems to have revealed itself (and also one that worries me) is the growing number of legends. RBY had Mewtwo, the singular Super Legendary. GSC had Ho-Oh and Lugia, a pair of Super Legendaries. But RSE has had THREE Super Legendaries in Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza! Based on this pattern, Diamond and Pearld will either have... two or four Super Legendaries. I hope it's two, because four is simply rediculous.
