Topic: So... X2 and Y2, or Z? WARNING SPOILERS!!!

[Awkward Squirtle]

As for Suicune, he seems to be the one bit of evidence that there doesn't have to be a trio for there to be a third game. It's quite possible Xerneas & Yveltal are a duo (the Mortality Duo as stated by Wiki) and that Zygarde is not the third member.

So the X Y Z and Zygarde being shaped like its letter like the other two and just happening to act the same as previous third legendaries is just coincidental?

Yeah, pretty much.

And what about Diancie? Or is that some Pokémon that will be a promo only for the third version?

[Richard and Blaziken]

Diancie is an event Pokemon. To think it'll be the mascot for Z is beyond silly.

[inskyninja]

Well like someone said: X=Xerneas Y=Yveltal Z=Zygarade it IS simple logic.
However, anyone think about the X axis Y axis and the Z axis? Or XYZ in the alphabet? It all makes too much sense. It is also possible that GameFreak is gonna throw another curveball with Pokemon A and Pokemon B. In my opinion Game Freak is coming back with the 3rd game gimmick. Black and White? That was kinda hard to think of a name besides grey cause that is what everyone was thinking.

[HeraCrymz]

ha if they went with gender related titles ?

Pokemon XX (Xerneas does look feminine)
Pokemon XY (Yveltal looks masculine)

[SirBlaziken]

How about just giving us the hoenn remakes first then worrying about this?

If they are making the Hoenn remakes, we're hoping to see those next year I will assume :3 True that X/Y haven't quite reached a year yet so it's kinda soon to be expecting sequels or a 3rd game.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

^But BW2 were announced a little over a year after BW came out outside of Japan. XY were announced months after BW2 was released outside Japan. So a third game being announced isn't too Farfetch'd. (Couldn't help myself!)

[SirBlaziken]

I just want hoenn remakes. Is that too much to ask?

[Captain Jigglypuff]

Just figured out how Zyngarde fits in with Xerneas and Yveltal! Zyngarde is classified as the Order Pokemon in the Pokedex. Xerneas is the Life Pokemon and Yveltal the Destruction Pokemon. Zyngarde must be the balance of the two as the former two have typings that is immune to one of Zygarde's typings and it would also explain Zygarde's Ability Aura Break which cancels out Xerneas and Yveltal's Abilities.

[Mew King]

So how about dem Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves...

Two ground typed moves with 90 BP and 100 Acc.

Thousand Arrows hits floating/flying Pokemon
Thousand Waves prevents grounded Pokemon from fleeing.

That sounds like two signature moves of a new version of Zygarde to me.

[Captain Jigglypuff]

^I agree. The Pokedex also says it watches the ecosystem which Xerneas and Yveltal can REALLY mess with. Xerneas not so much but with it giving off life energy, it could probably cause an overgrowth of plants that would cause harm to the area since the plants wou;ld overtake anything in their path.

[Spriter]

Also, those moves are speculated to be for two FORMES of Zygarde as well. One could assume that the upcoming movie could involve Zygarde, where it changes into forme 1 and 2 to try and deal with Xerneas and Yveltal respectively - but it cannot handle both because it cannot be in two different formes.

[Delicious_Scout]

Let me think...

Volcanion is Water/Fire... and the mixture of those two can be Ground...

And Volcanos come from Ground...

Yes, those two Ground moves can be a semi-exclusive, if that logic is followed.

[Awkward Squirtle]

Just based on the way things are going I think it's more likely that it will be 2 mega stones rather than formes. I wouldn't be surprised if the stones are formed from/emerge from Xerneas and Yveltal somehow.
