  • there are two trios in this generation...

    1st being the last580TBS trio (uxie azelf mesprit)
    2nd being the first680TBS trio (palkia dialga giratina)
    arceus created 3 dimension pokes and 3 human-ability pokes
    both of these trios have the colours magenta,blue and yellow


    why did they do 2 trios?
    i think i know why:
    every gen they make 3 games, which need 3 mascots.
    and every gen they make a legendary trio with 580TBS(total base stats)
    so why would they always try to think up some other good mascots for the boxes, when they always make a legendary trio?
    yep...
    so they just changed the legendary trio tradition:
    -680 instead of 580TBS
    -bigger
    -more powerful abilities
    -more complex awesome design

    and there you have them: palkia dialga and giratina, the 2nd typed dragons
    but wait! do they follow the type pattern of the old trios?
    ice,electric,fire____________________
    ___electric,fire,water______________
    ice________________rock,steel_____
    _____________water_____steel,ghost

    yup the types fit. we can even guess the possibilities of the 5th gen trio:
    1st: rock (cus no types arent used twice with more than 1 gen between them)
    2nd: ghost or something new
    3rd: something new
    ...........

    to end the 580TBS tiros tehy made a last trio, three psychic pixies!1
    they are all of the same type!
    and thats not just any random type, its psychic
    these 2 facts make it really obvious that they're the last ones

    yeah =/

    You shouldn't make assumptions with that basis. The types don't "fit" at all. Palkia and Dialga are only Steel / Dragon and Water / Dragon because those are the most efficient types you can get. You also failed to include Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza, which would make the Water-type have three Pokemon, which throws off your entire thesis.

    Plus, the three Lake Spirits are only Psychic because they are the beings which embody the mind. What would you have Azelf, the being of Willpower, be? Fire? It's not much of a fire-type.

    Different Gens have different numbers of "Legendaries". 1GEN has 5 (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew), while 2GEN has 6 (Raikou, Suicune, Entei, Ho-oh, Lugia, Celebi) and 3GEN has 10 (Latios, Latias, Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre, Regice, Registeel, Regirock, Deoxys, Jirachi). There aren't just three distinct ones. There are single ones and duos (eg. Cressellia and Darkrai, Lati@s)

    Technically, Gigas, Heatran and Cresselia are legendaries too.
    With Shaymin, Manaphy, Phione & Arceus and Darkrai.

    I don't know if you've noticed, but R/S/E introduced the 'important' trios. The normal trio is still Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie. The path is something like this:

    TRIO: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres
    "UBER": Mewtwo
    CUTE: Mew

    TRIO: Raikou, Entei, Suicune
    IMPORTANT: Lugia, Ho-oh
    CUTE: Celebi

    TRIO: Regirock, Regice, Registeel
    IMPORTANT: Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza
    FILLERS: Latias, Latios
    "UBER": Deoxys
    CUTE: Jirachi

    TRIO: Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf
    IMPORTANT: Dialga, Palkia, Giratina
    FILLERS: Heatran, Regigigas, Cresselia
    "UBER": Darkrai
    CUTE: Manaphy, Shaymin
    ANOTHER LEVEL: Arceus

    At least that's how I think it is. Mewtwo feels like Darkrai and Deoxys while Lugia and Ho-oh (though they don't have a third partner) feel like Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza and Dialga, Palkia, Giratina.

    I like your new forum-set, Umbreon.

    I read the Pokedex entry for Heatran and it doesn't seem legendary at all - it just lives on volcano walls with cross shaped feet.
    What do you think about the relationship between Cresselia and Darkrai, though? They form more of a duo than Heatran, Gigas and Cresselia form a trio.

  • You shouldn't make assumptions with that basis. The types don't "fit" at all.
    with these rules they do:
    -every type used 2 times in different gens
    -not more than 1 gen gap between same types
    example:
    abc
    acd
    bde
    fgh
    efi
    ghj
    ijk
    klm
    lno
    mop
    npq
    qrs...


    Palkia and Dialga are only Steel / Dragon and Water / Dragon because those are the most efficient types you can get.they could be just dragon, they could be part psychic, or anything other
    when i first saw it i couldnt believe that palkia is water


    You also failed to include Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza, which would make the Water-type have three Pokemon, which throws off your entire thesis.
    kyogre groudon and rayquaza are not a trio
    you know what a trio is? 3 pokemon with many similarities, with the same amount of similarities when talking about stats attacks, learn lvls etc...
    now look at groudon and kyogre....you'll find alot of similarities (abilities, movesets, stats are the same just physical>special etc)
    now compare them with rayquaza
    it looks superior to them in some ways (ability thats makes the abilities of the other 2 useless, better stats and totally different spread,....EVEN A 2ND TYPE)
    and as you now its the one that stops them

    so there we have a big main duo aka lugia ho-oh, and a pokemon thats related to them but superior!


    Plus, the three Lake Spirits are only Psychic because they are the beings which embody the mind. What would you have Azelf, the being of Willpower, be? Fire? It's not much of a fire-type.
    who says they first created the concepts and then their types?
    it doesnt even matter as they could make it fire and change it to look like fire if they wanted to.


    Different Gens have different numbers of "Legendaries". 1GEN has 5 (Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Mewtwo, Mew), while 2GEN has 6 (Raikou, Suicune, Entei, Ho-oh, Lugia, Celebi) and 3GEN has 10 (Latios, Latias, Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre, Regice, Registeel, Regirock, Deoxys, Jirachi). There aren't just three distinct ones. There are single ones and duos (eg. Cressellia and Darkrai, Lati@s)

    i know who they are o_O"

    Technically, Gigas, Heatran and Cresselia are legendaries too.of course they are in a way
    With Shaymin, Manaphy, Phione & Arceus and Darkrai.excluding phione, but thats not what we're talking about

    comments in bold

    I don't know if you've noticed, but R/S/E introduced the 'important' trios.
    all they introduced there was a third big legendary so tehy dont need to take something stupid! (why they arent a trio, look above)
    The normal trio is still Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie. The path is something like this:

    TRIO: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres
    "UBER": Mewtwo which i dont call a legendary as its just the result of an experiment and the only legendary thing about it are its stats...its just a very special poke
    CUTE: Mew

    TRIO: Raikou, Entei, Suicune
    IMPORTANT: Lugia, Ho-oh
    CUTE: Celebi

    TRIO: Regirock, Regice, Registeel
    IMPORTANT: Kyogre, Groudon, (Rayquaza)
    stronger IMPORTNAT:Rayquaza
    FILLERS: Latias, Latios i'd call them duo but meh...
    "UBER": Deoxys (same as mewtwo, its just a mutated virus from outer space o_O)
    CUTE: Jirachi

    TRIO: Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf
    IMPORTANT TRIO: Dialga, Palkia, Giratina (they're a trio as they're the most similar 3 pokes ever)
    (FILLERS: Heatran, Regigigas, Cresselia
    "UBER": Darkrai)
    MOON DUO: Darkray,Cresselia (maybe darkrai is higher cos its an event and has a special ability, but they seem really related)
    3RD GEN MISSING IMPORTANT: Regigigas
    CUTE: Manaphy, Shaymin
    ANOTHER LEVEL: Arceus
    JUST SPECIAL: Heatran (the mewtwo type of legendary)

    At least that's how I think it is. Mewtwo feels like Darkrai and Deoxys while Lugia and Ho-oh (though they don't have a third partner (Rayquaza maybe?)) feel like Kyogre, Groudon(no thy're 670 not 680), Rayquaza(yeah =D) and Dialga, Palkia, Giratina yup just they're another trio.

    thats how i look at the legendaries:
    1st: Arceus
    1sts mascot: Mew (like the blue pixie is the mascot of the blue dimension legendary (Azelf, Dialga))

    2nd : Dialga Palkia Giratina
    2nds mascots: Azelf Mesprit Yuxie
    (both blue,magenta,yellow!)

    3rd: Ho-oh Lugia Rayquaza
    (the flying 680TBS box legends)
    4th: Groudon Kyogre Regigigas

    5th A: Raikou Entei Suicune (leader: Ho-oh, co-leader: Groudon)
    5th B: Articuno Zapdos Moltres (leader: Lugia, co-leader: Kyogre)
    5th C: Regice Regirock Registeel(leader: Rayquaza, co-leader: Regigigas)

    cute special pokes:
    Celebi Jirachi
    Manaphy
    Shaymin

    not legendary legendaries:
    Mewtwo
    Deoxys
    Heatran

    duos:
    Latios Latias
    Darkrai Cresselia

  • People are kinda getting off topic with this generation pattern thing, and MiTjA, saying that Mewtwo is just an experiment doesn't destroy the fact that it is still a legendary.

    Anyways, my brother calls them onion heads...Uxie made him do that.

    I hate them. If I didn't speak English, I would call them 'n00bs'.

    Now everyone chase them out of our games, with pitch-forks, and flaming torches.

    'pwn the n00bs!'

    thats how i look at the legendaries:
    1st: Arceus
    1sts mascot: Mew (like the blue pixie is the mascot of the blue dimension legendary (Azelf, Dialga))

    2nd : Dialga Palkia Giratina
    2nds mascots: Azelf Mesprit Yuxie
    (both blue,magenta,yellow!)

    3rd: Ho-oh Lugia Rayquaza
    (the flying 680TBS box legends)
    4th: Groudon Kyogre Regigigas

    5th A: Raikou Entei Suicune (leader: Ho-oh, co-leader: Groudon)
    5th B: Articuno Zapdos Moltres (leader: Lugia, co-leader: Kyogre)
    5th C: Regice Regirock Registeel(leader: Rayquaza, co-leader: Regigigas)

    cute special pokes:
    Celebi Jirachi
    Manaphy
    Shaymin

    not legendary legendaries:
    Mewtwo
    Deoxys
    Heatran

    duos:
    Latios Latias
    Darkrai Cresselia

    I'm going to refute what you said about Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza being the leaders of Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos and Entei, Raikou, and Suicune and the three Regis, respectively. You have no proof.

    It's also completely illogical - No Leviathan is going to be dominating over a Phoenix or a Mountain-bird, no Sky-Lord is going to be ruler of the entities of ground.

    Your conclusion is probably valid about Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie, though I'm not sure what Knowledge has to do with rebellion, what Willpower has to do with time or what Emotion has to do with space.

    Manaphy has a close relationship with Kyogre, as shown in the Temple of the Sea. Mewtwo should be placed near Mew, just because it is a clone of it. If anything, Shaymin should be grouped with Celebi, though not with Jirachi, unless you have good reasoning - Shaymin creates pure land, Celebi protects pure land.

You have no proof. these are just relations that make the most sense to me! i have no proof, yeah, i never said i want to prove something....

    It's also completely illogical - No Leviathan is going to be dominating over a Phoenix or a Mountain-bird, no Sky-Lord is going to be ruler of the entities of ground. its just...they fit so perfectly into the circle =(

    pikachu is uber and deoxys is the counterpart of rayquaza as shown in the 8th movie.....celebi and suicune are related then too?....the trio are dialga palkia and darkrai!111....in 11th movie there will be a perfect duo staring: regigigas and shaymin....
    what im trying to say is anime=/=games
    the fact that pikachu is crap in da games proves that.

    celebi and jirachi are the ones that are of the psychic type and have a secondary type
    while the other left cute legends are pure grass and pure water
    and they got some really special abilities like making wishes come true and being able to travel through time
    while shaymin just looks stupid and looks at grass growing :O

    maybe if in the 5th gen arrives a new cute legendary of pure typing that would fit, i'd put them in the pic (manaphy next to kyogre and lugia, shaymin next to groudon and ho-oh and the new one to rayquaza and regigigas, if it has the neccesary look and typing of course...)
