(1) Zekrom Part Electric-Type? [5/31]

sturtle said:
I'm hoping for Dark/Electric on Zekrom, while we have Psychic/Fire on Reshiram. I don't like the idea of a light type. too complicated.

Its been said that they are legendary dragon pokemon. So If this case is true Zekrom would be Dragon/Electric.
 
I was actually thinking the same thing about the the three types. Many Pokemon ( Scizor, Blaziken, Dustox to name a few) seem like they can have more than two types, and it would be cool to see more variation. And it would work out as well because a Pokemon like Magnemite who was originally only electric became electric/steel in the next generation quite effectively.

I have also noticed how the new player characters have outfits that look like recycled bits and pieces of older player characters clothes.

Oh and I'm terribly sorry to hear about your Nana :(
 
^Yeah, I always thought some Pokémon should have 3 types like Beedrill and Flygon for exemple. I even have an old pokémon magazine with a page that shows the 1st 151 Pokémon and they classify Beedrill and Venomoth as Bug/Poison/Flying which would make totally sense...
 
Problem with making 3 types is iot makes damage calculations a LOT more complicated. If all three types are weak, is it x6 or x8? Triple resistance 1/6 or 1/8? Double weak and a resistance? Immune and weak? I don't see it happening.
 
Maybe Zekrom is symbolic of storms (electricity=lightning) ? Then Reshiram could be symbolic of tranquil weather. IDK. It fits the "sky" theme, though..
 
Hey WPM, this is the anniversary of your Nana's passing, isn't it? I thought I remembered her passing last year... Regardless, I am very sorry.
 
Lol I just noticed that on the new banner Pokabu is licking Mijumaru's head. Is that a joke to symbolize how he is indeed a snow-cone?
 
Pokemon is taking us for fools, complete and total fools
seeing how zekrom might be a dark type this would require a light type counterpart: Rashiram
Pokemon Designers are LAZY light would of been a type 10 years ago, there's a good reason why they havent made light type it's because it's insanely generic. I can think of 5 good pokemon that should of been light (gardevoir, clefairy family and lopunny). Instead of actually creating the god damn type they choose to create an uneeded contrast (black and white) and make the two pokemon types that dont actually accord to their color. "Lets make them both dragon so that takes care of any additional types" says a creator. While the second creator must remind the others that they have promised not to release anymore types. This creates a probleme, a dark without a light type? well we'll just make the "suppose to be dark type pokemon electric type instead and make the other one fire cause we're corporate genius'"
Pokemon you have failed me, as of now i'm never even mentioning your existance in my past life.
 
Ok, everybody is going on and on about the whole lightning area in the pictures possibly being where Zekrom is...

As far as we know so far, only one of these pokemon is gonna be in each game.

So if that place is the Cave of Origin/Spear Pillar for this game, what? Is it gonna have an entirely different map for Reshiram is Zekrom actually IS an electric type?

That's my reasoning for not buying into this yet. Aside from the generator tail and the blue tip on it's head... I really see no reason why it's gonna be part electric...

Something that may be interesting... Maybe they'll add a 3rd type to pokemon... Otherwise, since I'm ASSUMING these legendaries will have pressure, both of them are gonna need LEVITATE or they are gonna DIE by earthquake.
 
I doubt. 2 me,it looks like a demon. How it's stupid that it should might be Electric.DX I still think Zekrom's Dark/Dragon.

I think she's referring 2 another one,Reshiram. I thinking she's confusing which 1's which. It makes sense Reshiram's Electric/Dragon.

I'm willing to bet money that just like in every single past Pokemon generation, both will be catchable.



One will be catchable at lvl 40, the other at 70. That's how they've always done it, and I really don't see, or think they see, a reason to change it.



But, if I'm wrong, you have my most sincere apologies.



More on-topic, sorry about your loss, WPM, and I'd like to say that if Zekrom does end up being electric type, and that cave being his "domain", it'd mean that Reshiram being a whatever (fire? it has red accents...) would have it's entirely own domain, just like Ho-Oh and Lugia in Gold/Silver/HG/SS.


BUT FIRE CAVES ARE SO BORING WE'VE HAD ONE BEFORE T_T'
 
They said that there would be a big difference between the games. Maybe the electric cave is one of those differences...? It makes sense. Maybe it's in the same area, but it will change depending on the game.

Ah-hem. Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond AND Pearl would like to have a word with you.

And the cover pokemon of those games are caught at LV 45. The other is not run into AT ALL.

Maybe they'll be smart and NOT pull that on us this time but I highly doubt it.

I'm sorry, I guess I've played Emerald/Platinum/SS so recently I must've had it mistaken. I thought you could go back and catch the other version one with their respective item.

So there you have it, I said if I was wrong I apologize.


And why is that "not" smart? It's a great idea to be able to complete the regional Pokedex without having to trade with someone else. It worked well in Gold and Silver, which were largely hailed as the best in the entire franchise.
 
Electric as the Secondary Type makes total sense to me (mainly because I came up with the head being the lightning bolt part in the last post I made on this). Sure, it's unconventional, but the Fire for Reshiram also fits.

dmaster out.
 
No no no no no no. To me, it doesn't look like an electric type. Most electric types have yellow on it(the only 5 that doesn't are voltorb, electrode, magnemite, magneton, and magnezone, but them being electric types are self explanatory) Zekrom doesn't have one shade of yellow on it, and I just don't see it being electric. Maybe it's me wanting it to be dark so much, I just don't think it will.

The abra line is yellow. Does voltorb or electrode look remotely like an electric pokemon? I could maybe see it because pokeballs are machines. Doesn't gyrados look like a dragon, as well as charizard? Doesn't sudowoodo look like a grass pokemon? Does cradily or armaldo look like a bug type? Doesn't absol look like it's normal/dark? How does gengar appear poisonous? Looks do not dictate the types of pokemon.

I'm saying that pokemon that are electric have yellow on them, abra's line has nothing to do with this.

But they damn well play a big part. Most fire pokemon have red, most water pokemon have blue, most grass pokemon have green, most poison pokemon have purple, etc. I can go if you want to. Also absol looks nothing like a normal type, how dare you say one of the coolest pokemon ever made resembles the boring normal type.

Edit: Also cradily is grass/rock, not bug. And yes, Armaldo does look like a bug type.

It's got an awfully lot of white on it to not be auto assumed to be normal. And abras line has plenty to do with this, color does not dictate what types a pokemon is. Yes thank you for pointing out the obvious color trends pokemon have, and ignoring my point in that there are numerous exceptions to the trend.

I'm not saying it is or isn't electric, I'm saying the fact that it's all black confirms nothing about it's type. This would be like seeing rayquaza for the first time and assuming its a grass type.

EDIT: I don't see how it looks like a bug, but those were only a few of numerous examples i gave.

No it doesn't. I'm saying that most electric types have the color yellow on them, not that pokemon colored yellow are electric. It's a trend, not a dictation. How did I ignore your point without knowing that you think absol looks normal/dark? You shouldn't assume things until you know it's true. And yes there are always exceptions, but the majority of electric pokemon do follow the trend of having yellow on them. In other words, I think what you're saying is true, but what I'm saying is also true.

Yes but most pokemon that has black on them are the dark type, but of course there are the exceptions. Really I believe it being dark by it's coloration then some girls blog post that might not be true.

And then I'm not clearly convince that it's a dragon type, just because of the quote "The legendary Dragon Pokemon". Horsea and Sedra are classified as dragon pokemon, but they are not the dragon types. (I think it's those two, I know there's a pokemon that is like that)
