6th Gen Yveltal, Xerneas, or Zygarde

Xerneas for sure. I love angelic/life-giving characters and of course Xerneas is no exception. Yveltal is pretty cool too but in the end mother nature Xerneas wins and it's probably one of my favorite "bigger" legends at this point. Gorgeous design.

Zygarde on the other hand is very forgettable. :( Very little screentime and hardly served a purpose in the games so I hope we'll get something focusing more on it at some point.
 
Xerneas sooo much. X is my favorite for that sole reason, it really has such a great design imo. I'd be curious to see what the results would be with a poll because Xerneas seems to be the most popular just by skimming the posts on this thread.

I guess I like Yveltal better because call me simpleminded, but it is more bad-ass. But in addition, I think it makes the "Y" shape much better than Xerneas does the "X" shape.(or certainly more than zygarde makes a Z)

if you look at zygarde from the side it looks like a Z.

my favorite of the trio is yveltal, because it resembles its letter more so than the others (i dont even know how xerneas looks like an X), it has a good move for damaging multiple enemies in restaraunt double and triple battles (zygarde can do this too, but in le wow one pokemon is immune to land's wrath which just wastes PP, unless it is in the middle slot, or the left slot), it can heal itself better than a grass absorb move will heal their respective pokemon, and it just looks plain awesome. will edit if i think of more reasons, butt that's all i can think of right now
 
Yveltal is in a struggle with Chesnaught and Garchomp for my #2, 3, and 4 favorite slots. I love it. I love Xerneas too. Zygarde is ok. Underwhelming, but I like that its subtle. Nice to see a legendary in a big trio be cute.
 
Xerneas, one of my favourite legendaries of all time, along with Reshiram. Just so elegant and refined. I like to think of Xerneas as Arceus' different formes all added up together, thus the colourful rainbow. :D
 
Xerneas. It almost ties with Ninetales for my all-time favorite, and it's just absolutely perfect for me. That said, I honestly feel like this trio is without a doubt the BEST Legendary Trio we have ever gotten in a Pokemon game. All three of them are phenomenal designs that genuinely impressed me the instant I saw them. I'd say I like Zygarde a -little- more than Yveltal, but Yveltal might be the more impressive design. Zygarde just suits me more, and it's a LOT of fun to use.
 
I have to go for Xerneas! I just think it has the best design of all three of the Kalos trio, it just looks so pretty. I mean it just makes Stantler look ever blander and like it sucks even more than it already does I get that it being the Pokémon doesn't really make sense in Lysandre trying to destroy the world, Yveltal suits the role way better, it's energy and power is sufficient to do the deed so I won't hold this against the rainbow deer! Lastly it is sooooo overpowered in competitive battling, Power Herb and Geomancy combination.. what's killing it? Naaaaaaathing!​
 
Aw no poll?

Yveltal is my favorite of the three. I just find it the most fun to use for some reason haha. I love its design, and Oblivion Wing is a great move (really useful in Ubers).

I like Xerneas too, but not quite as much as I like Yveltal. Zygarde is obviously pretty unremarkable at this point, but it's pretty obvious that it's going to play a big role in the next 6th gen game. Its hidden signature moves are pretty darn cool, if I may say so (Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves), so I'm pretty optimistic that they're going to develop Zygarde into a great Pokemon when Pokemon Z rolls around! But until then, it's my least favorite of the three :x
 
Right now, I think Zygarde is pretty underwhelming and unimpressive in both design and stats. I prefer the menacing look of Yveltal over the serenity and grace of Xerneas. I also like Oblivion Wing a lot more than Geomancy because it is an active move and has a pretty cool animation.
 
Honestly, I prefer Xerneas but I've never had the opportunity to play Yveltal, yet.
 
I would have to say Xerneas is my favourite of the three. First of all, his design is so much more majestic and grandiose, whereas Yveltal and Zygarde, at least for my personal tastes, are much too dull and dark. Also, Xerneas is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying threats in Ubers, with access to the insane Geomancy, and a huge movepool to deal with almost anything that isn't called Lugia or Giratina. Plus, Xerneas is just awesome!
 
I haven't used Xerneas at all, though I have one.
But I picked Y because Yveltal just looked badass to me. I was hesitant at first because I wanted a Legendary of the new Fairy type, but something about Yveltal (mine's named Bahamut because I'm unoriginal) just spoke to me.

Zygarde (Jormungandr's mine) however, is so interesting. I don't know what it is about it, but it became a permanent member of my post-game party.

If I have to pick an absolute favorite out of the trio, I'd stick with Yveltal, though.
