They are so cool. So they are the Main Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon. Black & White, eh. I am really looking foward to getting Pokemon: White because the Dark Legendary Pokemon Zekrom looks really cool lol. Zekrom looks like the Destroyer of the Isshu Region and Reshiram looks like the Creator of the Isshu Region .

IMA GO WHITE.... Zekrom FTW...i ♥ Furriez...

[Zetaphrem]

Yes, yes, YES, I approve...

I just wonder what they do,

By that I mean, we have land, sea, air, time, space, god, anti-matter etc, so what are these guys thing...I keep hearing a lot of ying/yang theories.

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Yes I would imagin that Zekrom and Reshiram will appear at the After Life like in a Deminsion or World where Pokemon have died and pasted over to the After Life.

[Mewtwo Ex]

Wraith and his yin-yang idea...

I am over the impression that Nintendo has a ''crush'' on Dragon type, since it appears they... Yes they are dragon as well......

[Zareh77]

]I think it's more of a digital thing, i can understand the yin and yang concept, but if you look at their names you cant help but think they are the product of a computer experiment like porygon i mean ReshiRAM and ZekROM? Either way it doesnt matter I AM GETTING BOTH THESE GAMES! OMG! I NEARLY FAINTED WHEN I SAW THE IMAGES. plus i get the feeling they are going to be huge, i mean they just scream TITANIC

[Eievu]

reshiram looks like a flying type and i heard about the legendary yesterday

[wraith89]

Wait... so the white monster is black's mascot and the black monster is white's mascot?

. . . talk about twists...

[Kuroi-kun]

OMG they look better than arceus! Go pkmn BLACK!

[amh7912]

Well they're good, but it just doesn't look like Pokemon now.

[wraith89]

Yu-gi-oh/Digimon/Gundam/whatever you name it. All Japanese series eventually end up the same (or at least similar) I guess...

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

So @ wraith89, are you going to buy Pokemon: Black & White? I am planning to buy Pokemon: White, but seriously Zekrom really looks more like a Digimon rather than a Pokemon, don't you guys agree?! Reshiram looks rather similar to Arceus if you look closely though.

[pokesavmaster]

Digimon? was definitely my first thought when i saw these. But they look cool, just not like pokemon. White version is looking better at the moment.

[ASuch]

I might buy maybe even both. Both the legends look awesome. Zekrom looks like a Digimon and Reshiram looks like a God like being from an anime, and both are fine with me.

[wraith89]

Dialga and Palkia were enough to convince me they were going to a more Digimon-esque direction. And I doubt I will buy this game... unless stuff like Flareon/Pidgeot/Articuno gets buffed or something (just to be on par with the current metagame or something). It just won't be the same to me... so no, I'll stop at HGSS for now. But please do tell me how the game turns out.

[Greencat]

I like them both! Reshiram looks like a Pokemon that's like, an angel or something. Zekrom is cool, but not Pokemonish. :\

[Riolu Aura Sphere Now]

Alright @ wraith89, I will. I am really starting to think that I might buy Pokemon: Black instead of Pokemon: White. Reshiram is starting to grow on me as for Zekrom, well you can just say...(Sigh)!

[Midna312]

lol these games are AWSOME!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to buy them both!They are even better than the previous games Heartgold an Soulsilver.GO GENERATION 5!!!!!

[Lucario]

no one seems to be talkin' 'bout this yet. but most of us may have heard the possibly Dragon/Electric type combination for Zekrom which maybe a let down to people who guessed it would be Dragon/Dark(Like me). so if it is true then there is a slimmer chance for the creation of a new type like Light type. so what would they possibly make for Reshiram?

but anyways it's still a rumor. but still................Dragon/Dark & Dragon/Light..........sniff sniff.......

[umbreonboii]

tbh , all the new pokemon make this game seen like the designers have gone back to basics , all the pokemon look like very simple designs

[Fawful Of Ice]

I think that Zekrom represents all that is darkness and Reshiram reprisents all that is Light

i like them both and its said there are going to be greater differences in the game than simply pokemon differences, maybe story alteration?

Doubt it, just 'cause the person that said it is a known electric type lover and also happens to like Zekrom doesn't really make him an electric type so that's probably why noone is talking about it, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to make a judgment like that. Could be true still but not likely, he doesn't even have any close electric type features.

Also I was thinking Dragon/Dark as well though I would have preferred a dark/steel for Zekrom

And Light type...I really hope not I want the type match ups to be reworked though.

[Ziz]

Amazing..artwork is really beautiful. Really impressed by the legends...not so much the starters but eh. I really love the design of these mascots. =] Thumbs up for me.

[amh7912]

Oh please not another rework of the types. Adding another type, or even multiple new ones, I can take, but I don't wanna have to learn an entirely different type set up for the new games.
