    My god, the legendaries of the new games look so fucking awful.
    I saw them on /b/, and then instantly, I looked at Serebii to see if they were real.

    All in all, I almost cried ):

    They look like a hybrid between Digimon and Yugioh.

    Yep, the Digimon and Yu-gi-oh thing seems to be the general consensus. Still, from what I've seen elsewhere, they seem to be getting mostly positive reactions (I've seen lots saying that Zekrom is the best legend thus far, actually).

    Personally, at this point I can't say I just positively adore them, but I do like them. See, playing HeartGold reminded me of how much I love Ho-oh and Lugia. They had such simplistic designs, yet they were fantastic. Thus, I was hoping for something more simple this gen. But I'll get used to them; it's not like I hate them or anything.

    Bah, I don't care if this is a double post. No one else is posting, and there's some rather important info. Forget law! D:<

    First of all, some small info that's come up. They are both at least part Dragon type - that was announced sometime after they were revealed. Reshiram and Zekrom are their names in both Japanese and English. Reshiram (the white one) is the mascot for Black version, while Zekrom (the black one) is the mascot for White version. A bit confusing, but there are likely reasons (if only not to meld with same color box-art ;o). The name 'Reshiram' derives from the Japanese word for 'white' (obviously), but also the word for 'to grow light.' The name Zekrom derives from the Japanese word for 'black' but also from the word for 'to grow dark.' You gotta love meaningful names ;o

    Anyhow, there seems to be a very big chance that Zekrom is a Dragon/Electric Pokemon. I'll let Pokebeach do the explaining -

    Indeed interesting. What's more, there is also significant evidence to suggest these games have a lot to do with the sky (for instance the origins of the legends' names). Again I'll just let WPM explain -

    News story link (posted before the previous story)

    You gotta love all the speculation :D But really, they seem to be going so much more in-depth with these Pokemon and this region, much more so than previous games. Also, the more I look at Reshiram and Zekrom, the more I love them.

    Hopefully the next 15 gen 5 legendaries will look better.

    Hopefully they won't have 15 legends this time ;o

    I hope they just have these, the trio, and maybe one or two novelty legends - not near as many a last gen's.

    I find it interesting that apparently the black colored legendary is the mascot for Pokemon White, and the white colored legendary is the mascot for Pokemon Black.

    Maybe there's more to it, but probably just for the way it will look on the box art.

    I normally go with Water for all of my Pokemon games, but I'm rethinking about that this time. You could call that thing "cute", but to me it looks "ugly".

    I'll be going with the grass starter this time.
