Idk if this was discussed already but Im wondering what the trio for Black and white would be.
Gen1= legendary birds
Gen2= Legendary Dogs,
Gen3=Regis
Gen4=Fairies
Gen5=???
Whats next?
The Generation 4 fairies were a big departure from those previous trios you mention. For one thing, they were all the same type. For another, they represented ideas instead of elements (although I have heard people argue that the Regis represent the Ice, Stone, and Iron Ages).
Maybe GameFreak will continue with this theme of trio members representing human ideas, rather than forces of nature. If the two title legendaries do indeed symbolize life and death, maybe the trio will reflect the three different stages of life: Youth, Adulthood, and Old Age. You know, like in the Greek myth of Oedipus, where the sphinx asks him "What walks on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening?" Hmmm...maybe there will be a sphinx Pokemon...*ramble*
Alternatively, maybe the trio members will represent three of the five stages of death expressed in the Kubler-Ross model: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Bargaining and Denial would be hard to make into Pokemon, so maybe the trio will go Anger, Depression, Acceptance. Heavy stuff, but it's possible.
Just for reference:

Seeing as how childish some people are, it won't be too long before fan art photos of Reshiram making Zekrom pick cotton start showing up.
I doubt if it will have anything to do with life and death. [Do pokemon even really die?] Lucario died.
I never understood the concept of Cubone and his mother. Maybe they will explain it this generation??
Haha I'm sure we'll get some pretty weird fanart before the month is out.
And Pokemon never die. They're just missing in action :naughty: Halo FTW
As for Cubone, I heard that Marowak was originally supposed to evolve into Kangaskhan, and a Kangaskhan baby that lost its mother would become a Cubone. But at the last second, GF decided to scrap the Kanga baby and put its code in some random spot, making MissingNo. IDK, that's probably just a rumor.
There's nothing to cover up. There's no racism involved in any of this. It's like all these kids are saying this just to say something. Enough is enough. When you get to high school (and pass freshman year), you'll look back at these kinds of comments and you'll feel embarrassed for yourselves.
Dude, calm down. I don't think he was implying that he thinks the names are racist. I think he was saying that Nintendo switched the cover legendaries to avoid lawsuits. We all know there is going to be some crazy idiot, somewhere, who will look at the names "Black and White" and throw a fit. Fifty bucks it's an American...
Also, from a more practical perspective, I think they switched the legendaries to make them easier to see.
