Oh thank god its not true.
Why go through the hassle of incorporating seasons to work every month or so when you could just use an HM? Didn't make anysense.

This made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
They could easily have it an HM you obtain late-game, once you've beaten all the gyms and whatnot. That way, you can explore all the places you want and capture all the Pokemon you can without the hassle of waiting a month. Makes perfect sense to me, remember Rock Climb was only available after you've beaten the Elite Four in HGSS (iirc, maybe even later).
Humanoid Pokemons are ok.
Weapon weilding Pokemons are ok.
Pokemons who ride stuff is probably ok. (I don't think there's one)
But all of them together? I know I'll get used to it but IT IS weird.
By virtue of them being called legends and having legends associated with them, they are legends.
The amount of legends does not take away from them being legendary.
Anyway, counting Viktini there appears to only be 13 legends this time, out of 156 Pokemon.
Is that really so bad? I'm always baffled by people complaining about the amount of legends. There aren't that many in the grand scheme of things, they almost always have sidequests associated with them, and that bumps up gameplay time.
But they reduced the time to four months now :P.
Its like making a move to make a week go by so you can catch a Drifloon. Or making a move to turn night to day so you can catch a Murkrow.
Besides, I'd feel bad making the NPCs deal with my whimsical weather fantasies.
There are 13 legendaries, not 15.
Fire/Ghost? Are you sure they said that?
If Hiro is right, then where are Zorua and Zoroark?
I feel like the NPCs would want it that way, so they can engineer more abominations of nature like Castform :P
I'm with Neato. Legendaries used to seem special, which was in part due to how relatively little their number was. Another reason was because they were all pretty much based on something mystical, legendary, or a piece of folklore (usually Japanese or Chinese). With Gen IV we had the introduction of legendaries like Shaymin and Heatran, who don't really seem to be based on anything, and this IMO kind of cheapens the "legendary" tag. Nothing about them really seems "legendary".
What I meant was that Electabuzz is already based on a raijin, at least partly.
so would Zorua and Zoroark be #636 and #637?
- No, #570 and #571.
No, this is the last twitted:
556: Dancing Cactus Pokémon. It has yellow eyes and spikes, and two pink flowers sprouting from the head. Two arms, no feet. Pure Grass.
So do we have any confirmation about that whole 8-IVs thing? I really hope it's false. They should make it easier to get perfect IVs, not harder...
How would they know about IVs unless they have the ROM? Which they don't claim they have.
Where'd you get the 64 from? We got the first 48 (according to serebii), the 13 types we got just this morning, and a few random ones from everywhere that I'm not really buying yet.
I'm assuming that the numbers also represents rumors from other websites saying how many evos that pokemon has, such as each elemental monkey geting an evo. Megukoro getting 2 evos, etc.
Yes, but the legends in the region mirror the legends in real life. Case in point, Ho-oh, Lugia, the dogs, Kyogre and Groudon etc,. As well, because there are so many legendaries being introduced with each game, it doesn't adequately explain why some Pokemon ARE considered legendary in their regions, like Heatran.
That isn't from Pokexperto.
Zapdos is based on a Thunderbird, a legend of several Native American tribes for one.
I'm really curious about how these Raijin are going to look. I really hope they don't screw up such a good chance to make epic, creative legendary designs, though I want them to look as non-human as possible.
Out of all these amazing new typings, I'm actually most excited about the Dark/Fighting Type, which was one of my most wished-for typings. We all know how amazing the combination is offensively, but now we could have a (hopefully strong) Pokemon with STAB on both!
I like the type announcements for the new legends, all are very interesting. And I really don't have a problem with the amount of them. No one is forcing you to use them, or even catch them.
Jojo got Mew.
Zapdos is based on the north-american Thunderbird, while Articuno is based on the Arabic Anka (a large arctic bird). Latias and Latios have no specific origin, while Celebi, in addition to being what Jojo mentioned, is also based on the Dryad (a 'tree spirit').
Edit: Ninja'd on Zapdos.
