New Pokémon Game Legendaries..

[Blademaster]

Well, whether or not it matters, we need SOME ideas. There's plenty of potential Legendaries left - we just gotta think outside the box.

...On that note, Nintendo kinda jumped the shark with Giratina. The Dimension Pokemon. Way to waste a Legendary slot. That could've been the 5th Generation gimmick: a Legendary Pokemon of Length, a Legendary Pokemon of Width, and a Legendary Pokemon of Depth.

How would that work?

Hell if I know - Giratina is some freaky centipede-dragon-bat-thing, and THAT has to do with dimensions, evidently... Don't ask me where Nintendo gets this shit from. :/

[mr_pikachu]

I think that should bring in a set of legendary that could form to create a better single legendary by use of a dna splicer in the world somewhere or an item or something.

We already have that, CEB. It's called Yu-Gi-Oh.

Blade, joking aside, I assume you already know the reason why your statement is laughable and posted it for the sheer irony. (I suppose it is rather unfortunate that "dimension" is now easily equated with another plane of existence in a theoretical multiverse, but that's probably more exciting to people nowadays than the dimensional travels offered by L'Engle's classic A Wrinkle in Time.)

I have to agree with you on Giratina... the fifth gen could have been all about alternate dimensions and such (although I suppose it still could be the theme, meh), thus granting GameFreak the opportunity to retcon Arceus' "Godlike" image, making it the creator of this plane of reality but not necessarily all existence. Hell, they could do the creators of the other dimensions for the next five generations and no one would know the difference.

...Well, except those of us here who like to analyze and theorize about all things Pokemon in frightening detail. Oh well. Someone's gotta do it.

Thats because everyone one at Nintendo is on drugs, the CEO's have planted aerosolised Crystal Meth in the airconditioners its great.

Here is my Rundown of the Legendaries so far

RBY/FRLG: 5
Articuno: Part of the Generic trio
Moltres: Part of the Generic trio
Zapdos: Part of the Generic trio
Mewtwo: Mans Attempt at God
Mew: Effectively God

GSC: 6
Suicune: Part of the Generic trio
Entei: Part of the Generic trio
Raikou: Part of the Generic trio
Lugia: Pokemonification of Night
Ho-oh: Pokemonification of Day
Celebi: Pokemonification of Time

RSE: 9
Latios: Guardian?
Latias: Guardian?
Kyogre: Pokemonification of the Water
Groudon: Pokemonification of the Earth
Rayquaza: Pokemonification of the Air
Regirock: Part of the Generic trio
Regice: Part of the Generic trio
Registeel: Part of the Generic trio
Deoxys: Mans second attempt at god?

DPP: 12
Mesprit: Part of the Generic trio
Uxie: Part of the Generic trio
Azelf: Part of the Generic trio
Dialga: Pokemonification of Time
Palkia: Pokemonification of Space
Darkrai: Pokemonification of Darkness
Giratina: Pokemonification of Dimensions
Heatran: Pokemonification of Natural disasters?
Cressilia: Pokemonification of the Moon?
Regigigas: Ruler of 3 Regi's
Manaphy: Pokemonification of the Heart?
Arceus: God?

So in generation 7 if it goes on for that long we can expect 20+ legendaries

How about a Life/Death combo. Grass/Dark maybe
Technology vs Nature
Good vs Evil
2 pokemon into 1
3 pokemon into 1
Another lame trio of pokemon maybe bugs this time

Thats all I can think of

Lugia: Pokemonification of Night
Ho-oh: Pokemonification of Day

Close.

Lugia = Moon.
Ho-Oh = Sun.

Latios: Guardian?
Latias: Guardian?

Latios = Male.
Latias = Female.

They're gender Pokemon.

Deoxys: Mans second attempt at god?

No. Deoxys was an alien. Man had no clue what it was, and during research, they accidentally revived it. It wasn't made to be a weapon like Mewtwo was.

Also, you left out Jirachi.

Darkrai: Pokemonification of Darkness
Heatran: Pokemonification of Natural disasters?
Cressilia: Pokemonification of the Moon?
Manaphy: Pokemonification of the Heart?

Darkrai = Darkness.
Cresselia = Light.

They have little in common, but maybe Heatran and Manaphy are representative of Fire and Water Pokemon? It'd make some since given that the lastLegendary you excluded - Shaymin - is a Grass-type.

Maybe they're Legendary versions of the starters. Fire, Water, and Grass... Or a different take on the Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza Legendaries: Heatran fills the Earth with lava needed to keep the planet warm and spinning, Manaphy fills the seas with water needed to keep lifeforms cool and hydrated, and Shaymin fills the land with the plants needed to feed animals.

Or, I could be way off. Honestly, Shaymin and Manaphy may have some link, but I have no fucking clue why they added Heatran.

How about a Life/Death combo. Grass/Dark maybe

Wouldn't Ghost be a better candidate for a Death Pokemon?

[Chris 2.1]

A life and death pair would be cool. Although Dusknoir does sorta collect souls.

[Jeff]

That would be a cool idea. The two towers in Johto represented life and death, and in the third generation, the Cave of Origin represented birth while Mt. Pyre represented death. The concept however has yet to be made into pokemon so it would definitely work.

I purposely left out Shaymin because I really dont think of it as a legendary mainly just a tiny little pokemon there is only 1 off, but I am glad people like my Life/Death idea ^_^

[Zallarion]

Does it really matter how many animal kingdoms there are, when it all comes down to it how many 8-14 year old kids going to know what an Archaea is. But yes Blade is right archae and bacteria are two seperate kingdoms in the fact that they both have a seperate evolutionary history further details are here.~CEB

I'm so sewing my biology teacher for saying there are only 4, and i'm gonna own him tomorrow by saying there are 5, ty guys..XD

and about the Legendary's i agree, i think all the gen 5 pokémon aren't that good, look at magmortar, wth!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

Perhaps Earth, Wind, Fire and Air? I know Rayquaza, Kyuogre, Groudon and the likes have already took up some space, but perhaps they should really do something with this.

[Zallarion]

Perhaps Earth, Wind, Fire and Air?

whats the difference between wind and air? maybe you mean water in an avatar like setting, which would be too cliché?

[Jeff]

The four classical elements are a good idea, but one that I think is already covered by gen 3.

Groudon: Earth/Fire
Kyogre: Water
Rayquaza: Wind

[Blademaster]

Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza aren't the elements so much as they are land, sea, and sky (respectively).

I don't think Nintendo would break precident and make a Legendary quartet, but Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water as they appear in Japanese mythos would be pretty cool. A Ground tortoise, a Flying tiger, a Water dragon, and a Fire phoenix, maybe.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water in Japanese mythos? Sorry but you forgot "Void" or "Sky". No big deal, I had to use Wikipedia, too. Am I splitting hairs?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_el...se_philosophy)

On the other hand, there are Wu Xing, the Five Elements of Chinese Philosophy, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. Should be distinguished.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_el...se_philosophy)

And to clarify, Fire, Earth, Air and Water are the four elements in ancient Greek philosophy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_element

I admit, I only knew the difference between Greek and Chinese ones before this, and now I'm confused because the Wikipedia articles mention "Void" and stuff.

Yes you are. So stop it.
