Keldeo looks like Shaymin-S so maybe it could change to a smaller, cute animal like Shaymin. Baby Pony-Hedgehog *-*

That sounds rather unlikely though. There's a very good chance that Keldeo's horn will change drastically in its new form. Perhaps its crown/mane will also change, and there's a lot of room for change there.

Are there any Japanese translators here? The text in the image shown may be translated as something else, instead of just "Unusual Forme".
 
Guys I found a pic.

Well... that's pretty much what they did to Tornadus...
 
[rant] Oh, for the love of Arceus, does every new legendary need an alternate form now? What's wrong with Keldeo as he is? I can understand why some legendaries might want or need or warrant alternate forms, like Shaymin exchanging some Defense for better Speed and power. But I didn't get why the Kami needed alternate forms (even though I like the look of those more than the MANRY POWELFUR Incarnations) since they are already so powerful, and one for Keldeo makes even less sense. [/rant] Unless...

...unless Keldeo's alternate form might be a humanoid form. That would actually be kind of interesting in the case of the legendary equines. Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion were fighting to protect Pokemon from human destruction. It might be a surprise to them if their protege could actually adopt a human form. How might they react to that? So, I am interested to see if that's what is going to happen, even if I'm cocking my head to hear rumors of an alternate Keldeo form.

My top 4 guesses as to Keldeo's alternate form (in order of least preferred [4] to most [1]):
4. A type change, like Fire or Ice + Fighting. Or Flying + Fighting.
3. Keldeo is our Northern Tortoise for the Kami trio. :P (but that would be a far better Wu Xing matchup in terms of element than the Kami trio)
2. Keldeo becomes a human
1. That this is some kind of misunderstanding / prank.
 
I agree with RedMeowth when he says that you guys are nearly hysterically and illogically ranting about NEW FORM HERE, NEW FORM THERE, HEY GUYS LOOK THERE'S A NEW FORM FOR.... come on, limit the useless fantasy a little. I mean, apart from the fact that many legendaries are, indeed, already powerful and versatile enough as they are, you guys also have to consider that the concept of 'Formes' will lose it's shine if it is... well, overused. GF is not retarded.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be mean or anything to anyone, I hope nobody is offended or annoyed by my maybe a little overcharged response

It would kinda make sense is some way that they were exclusive to the Dream Radar, but I guess that wouldn't be too fair for those who don't have a 3DS.

The name does ring a bell, and making that "game" just for those formes would be a waste IMO. Another possibility alongside Gen 5 mons are legendaries like the Regis, the birds (Lightningrod Zapdos anyone?), or any other good one (don't saying the Regis' DW abilities are good, except if Regirock gets SR with Sturdy).

Also, has someone else been wondering what the new DW area "Cool Hole" will bring to the table? Thick Fat Swinub = Thick Fat Mamoswine? Cursed Body Froslass (seeing as hail is banned in UU making Snow Cloak useless)? It is related to BW2 guys.

I wouldn't be surprised if the new forms of Tornadus etc. would be exclusive to the 3DS... at first. They can distribute them via an event later for the other DS systems. (Is the PokéDream Radar a free download for the 3DS?)
 
I believe you need to pay for both the Dream Radar and Pokedex Pro. The 2000 point e-shop cards being released in Japan are being marketed with the purpose of paying for the two applications.

Who cares if it "loses its shine?" Only we attribute a "shine" to these types of things (For some reason?), gamefreak doesn't care. Adding new forms is basically a way to add more differences for future versions that they can easily market without just making new Pokemon.

Everyone really does over-react to these things.

Man Keldeo getting another forme?!? He's already like a perfect pokemon competitive wise..
Click to expand...

Perfect? Not really. His attack is subpar and Swords Dance isn't enough to fix it making physical sets not as viable as special ones, plus he's really, REALLY lacking in coverage moves.
 
I knew there would be more new formes. I said it way back in this huge thread. Look at platinum, and now they're releasing two games...makes sense.

Lol you think Keldeo is used as physical attacker? LOLOLOL

On another note. Why the heck is there a flying boat in the new image? What could that possibly be in the story? Only thing I could think of right now is to avoid the ice'ing of the region.
 
I've a strong hunch that flying boat is the same one docked in the harbor in the anime-like trailer, which would make it Neo Team Plasma's. Betcha they're pulling a Bowser Koopa and transporting Peaches-- 'er, stolen Pokémon with it. :P

I know Thundurus' is a bit of a stretch but...I can't be the only one seeing this.


Something about the Keldeo form news just erks me. Maybe I'm just tired of alternate forms at this point but it's more that the timing is extremely odd. With the movie coming out, it seems really late to be announcing alternate forms for a movie Pokemon. At this point, the game is finished and is likely being manufactured as I write this and will ship to stores in a little over a week so a new Keldeo form should have came up at some point way earlier than this other than one line in CoroCoro mentioning it's special power.

I'm not saying I don't believe it, but the timing just seems really off.
 
Honestly I expect it to just be Keldeo surrounded by the white light to indicate him using Secret Sword. It might not even be in the actual game and solely be a movie thing.

Ideally we'll know within the next 4 days.

Well actually, if we're comparing it to Shaymin, it actually falls into place. Shaymin's sky forme was revealed early June while the 11th movie was released on July 19th, pretty much a month between the two. If Coro Coro does reveal Keldeo's new forme, it's pretty much a month before the 15th movie. It may seem early due to BW2 being released much earlier than Platinum.

edit: Thundurus is a bit of a stretch and it's not like birds and cats/dogs aren't a common thing in pokemon. :P
 
I'm really curious as to what they are going to do with this forme stat-wise. Considering the fact that all the "musketeers" have the same base HP and Speed, and all specialize in one of the remaining stats (Cobalion in defense, Terrakion in attack, Virizion is Sp. Defense, and Keldeo in Sp. Attack), it raises the question as to what this forme will do with it's stats. There isn't any other stats left to "specialize" in. (Unless they increase/decrease Speed and HP.)

I had the same thought. Also, I don't think it's been said here, so Keldeo's new forme is called its 'Resolution Forme', if anyone cares.
 
The rumor on pokejungle states that its merely cosmetic. Which really is the only way I'd want them to go, keldeo is too well designed stats wise to change anything; plus making him more mature looking would be quite cool, make him really a part of the musketeer family. Though a purely cosmetic forme change is a little unneeded :)
 
Or since Keldo appears to one of Trollfreaks "chosen" Pokemon, they might just give him 129 everything. And arceus will be dethroned by a pony.
 
So, forme switching Pokemon in 5th gen:

Kyurem
Meloetta
Thundurus
Landorus
Tornadus
Keldeo

Even more annoying than the "obligatory dragon pseudo legendary".
