5th Gen Victini, Zekrom and Reshiram Discussion Thread

[fenyx4]

probably because they would kill each other, having fire and electric as types

Oddly enough, I never thought of that! (I was thinking that version mascot Legendaries tend to learn Earthquake, so the Yin-Yang Duo should be able to as well.)
Well, all the more reason why Reshiram and Zekrom should learn Earthquake - both of them are able to maintain balance by keeping their counterpart in check with a super-effective move! :cer_nod:

Still disappointed about Zekrom having Dig+Drill Liner withheld, though...

...they still got dragon type moves lol.

Yeah...but not signature Dragon moves, though, like Generation IV's dragon trio had... (fanon, but I regard Draco Meteor Meteoric Swarm as Giratina's signature move, since the other two were variants of pre-existing moves as well. That, and the "swarm" part {from the move's original fan-submitted name, IIRC} implies "bug/insect", which Giratina can evoke with its six legs {hexapedalism?} and threatening appearance... A stretch, I know.) And Dragon keeps itself in balance by default, regardless...

But still, aside from Dragon-type moves, I think Earthquake is the most powerful move that both Reshiram and Zekrom theoretically could have learned to keep each other in check with a super-effective move, and tie more into the yin-yang/balance theme... *sighs* :\

Zekrom is superior. I don't care if Reshiram can hit everything neutral and hits Steel super effectively, nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, beats the blue lighting.

 

[ShyRayq]

zekrom is ok.... reshiram is ok....
i dont actually care bout legendaries except the final one >.>
i mean, victini 000? wtf
that is messed up for sure! also white fire and black lightning
so in the end, all the legendaries are of a variety of wierd/strange/random

Something about the B+W mascots

So uhh maybe it's just me, but does anyone notice anything kind of weird about the mascots for black and white? Like they look like they FIT together just a bit too well? Like they have something in common, except opposite? (Aside from their color, of course.) Y'know what I'm getting at?

Since this thread is already discussing the mascots, I merged the two together.

The mascots are supposed to have some similar things in common though. I don't see how they go too far off within appearance, but that's just my opinion. I like their designs; their "flow" I suppose you can say, is what makes me like them the most aside from their competitive battling style. Reshiram has a subtle and calm appearance while Zekrom is moreover a fierce nature. n_n

I really think they are pretty decent. Lol.

After all, the mascot dragons were originally one dragon, according to the mythology in Pokemon BW.

They split in two to help two brothers who were at war with each other.
One helped the brother who fought for steady growth, while the other helped the brother who fought for rapid advancement.

Blue fire> Blue Lightning by a long shot.

But neither have blue fire. :p

This shows Reshiram does pack blue flames. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Blue_Fire_(move)

Reshiram. Definitely. I knew I was getting Black even before they showed the legendaries! =)
