Blake Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I just covered how being Z wouldn't make sense. It's not 100% impossible, but it has to do with chromosomes, so it's X and Y. It's not the letters, it's talking about the things that decide if you're male or female and other traits. I don't see how Chrome makes any sense at all.

I forget the name, but a phoenix that never stops flying, burns away to ashes, and revives itself and other things in the ashes. I've heard comparisons to Seiryu and Suzaku, but it's a bit more of a stretch. Also seems to borrow from Shintoism. Gen 3 - Hebrew legend. Leviathan, Behemoth, Golems, and a loosely based Ziz. The last of which is more arabic, though, I believe. Gen 4 - Christian legend. God, Satan, 2 more "Archangels", and another trio that I forget the exact reasoning for. Gen 5 - Taoism. IN AMERICA. Gen 6 - Genetics + Celtic mythology. IN FRANCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 It seems like every time I start to get use to the current generation they roll out another one.

Was like... huna or something. That's what I was saying. The Behemoth/Leviathan/Ziz and the Golems. I wasn't saying the golems were that. They ARE Hebrew Legend, sans the Ziz who is more Arabic. How does it? Giratina has 6 legs/leg spikes, 6 wing spikes/tentacles, and 6 neck rings, and rules over a broken, non-sensical dimension oppsite earth. Fairly obvious. Dialga and Palkia are meant to represent Michael and Gabriel, apparently. EDIT: Also, Giratina is the RENEGADE Pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Rai Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah, Ho-oh is based off the Fenghuang of Chinese mythology. In Japan, its equivalent is the Ho-o. Which is obviously where Ho-oh's name comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 [quote name='Hatcher' timestamp='1357680158' post='6115474'] The ice cream cone Pokemon is a huge f***ing embarrassment. Then again, so is the ball ([b]Voltorb[/b]/Electrode), the deformed scrotum thing (Weezing) and the pile of goo (Muk, Grimer, [b]Ditto[/b]). All Gens have their fair share of stupid looking Pokemon, but I guess it's kind of just... they should have learned their lesson from the first few times. =\ [/quote] There's concept behind Ditto at least, in an attempt to recreate Mew, Ditto is the failed outcome. And Voltorb is apparently a pokeball possessed by Haunter, (they share the exact same eyes). While they do look rather nonsensical, there is at least a concept behind the design. Not much can be said for the ice cream cone thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Wait, they're based on chromosomes? Where'd it say that, I was thinking these 2 and the eventual Z would represent the 3 axes (X-horizontal, Y-Vertical and Z-Forward/back) present in a 3D structure.

Mr.WHAM Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 If there was a Z, Yugioh would try to sue them. Since the incorporation of B2/W2 it doesn't seem that far fetched to suggest a XX or an XY, depending on gameplay. It would be hilarious if we were completely wrong about the game title and the call it Pokemon D. But then again they have Deoxys for that whom I believe will play some sort of inspirational role during the game. Any guesses for the new Team name? Maybe Team Genome or Genesis?
