Possible coincidental origin?

(No idea what to title this section) I know that we know almost absolutely nothing on the actual origins of Reshiram and Zekrom, but ever since noticing that Zekrom is in White and Reshiram is in Black, it sorta brought me to mind of the concept of Yin and yang. This is probably just coincidence and means absolutely nothing, but something I decided to bring up nonetheless. Mudkipchan 00:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

That's been on a lot of people's minds since the game names were out. But with the switched legendaries, maybe we can look more into it.--Pokélova! 00:51, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

We have very limited information right now, and I think anything we post now will be speculation at best. —♥ Jello 00:58, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

If you look at a Yin and Yang symbol, you'll see that each color has a dot of the opposite color inside. Puceron 01:41, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.--Pokélova! 02:32, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Maybe it´s just a coincidence. I think we will have to wait until the release of the games for further details. D.hgss 08:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Dragon

I know that the Daisuke club called them the legendary dragon pokemon, but since we don't have officially published types listed as such, isn't kind of jumping the gun a bit to already list them as dragon types when they quite possibly could have secondary types as well? --Ryuutakeshi 06:10, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

We're a Wiki Ryuu, we list what information we have as of now. At the moment, we know they're Template:Type2s, so we'll keep it at that until more info becomes available.--Pokélova! 06:37, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Was it ever actually said they're Dragon-type? Or just dragons? They could be like Gyarados or Charizard...Reign 07:17, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Prematurely publishing information weakens the credibility of Bulbapedia as a resource. Disinfect 07:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, someones got to edit that bit out because WE DO NOT KNOW THERE OFFICIAL TYPING. Why does everyone just assume that they will be Dragon-type because they were described as "Legendary Dragon Pokemon" like a Pokedex entry would state. Where the --- is a mod. --Yusuke SS 20:17, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Reshiram won't be Black exclusive

I do belive that in the obtain section It shouldent say Black olny because we all know after we encounter the mascot we always encounter the mascot of the twin game later on - unsigned comment from Megamaxxor (talk • contribs)

Patterns and traditions aren't always guarantees. We're getting a female professor this time around, so I rest my case. Also, I don't think you could get Groudon in Sapphire and vice versa.--Pokélova! 13:54, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

This is only true for GS/HGSS AFAIK. Like PokeLova said, you can't get Dialga in Pearl and Palkia in Diamond, can you? Or Groudon in Sapphire/Kyogre in Ruby? Nope. At any rate, we aren't adding any information like that to the article unless it's 100% confirmed by a reliable source. --ZestyCactus 14:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

That's not true. Charizard can be received in both U.S. Blue and JP Green through starter methods. Turtwig's A-B-Cs (talk | contribs) 14:08, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

For your kind information, it's obvious that we can get charizard in both versions because it's a starter. Reshiram and Zekrom are not starters + they are legendaries and like previous legendary mascot featured games, they can be obtained in a single game only. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 14:26, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I was just replying to them saying it was only possible in GS and HGSS. I know it is a starter, and that is how that would happen. Turtwig's A-B-Cs (talk | contribs) 14:31, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh, oopz. My bad. ♫♪AdyNiz♪♫ 14:35, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry SS id my first pokmon game and befor I got it I asked a friend witch one I should get becasue of the legndarys he that it wouldent matter because I could get both if I worked at it he told thats the wasy it wokred in past games so I thought he ment all but as it turns out he must have ment G/S--Megamaxxor 14:39, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't think the article should state either way until it has been confirmed. Although version mascots aren't normally available in the opposite versions, they are in Gold and Silver, so it's not unheard of. T a r o m o n 19:23, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I second that, we don't know for sure if he's exclusive to Black at this point and to say he is is just as assumptive as to say he isn't.--J.Harkness 20:18, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Physiology for the admins to implement

Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of indefinable but seemingly draconic basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram’s snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram’s face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.

Reshiram’s neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the “wrists” of Reshiram’s forelimbs. Reshiram’s forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram’s chest is a feathered feature most similar in shape to a Silver Wing, with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram’s thighs, its feet with large claws---three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram’s tail is a thick mass of a centermost plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands.

(Reshiram is some feat to describe, which is why I split the description into two paragraphs.) Steph 16:37, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Update note - There's an important feature that most people tend to not notice. Reshiram's 'tail' looks uncannily like a traditional fire torch, only without colour and turned on its side. This feature no doubt is the only sort of physical inclination of the Pokemon's fire type. The central plume being the flame and the rings being the metal barriers. - Comfy Shorts (user)

zoroark listing

So, how do we know that Zoroark will come right before Reshiram? Should we not have a ??? beside them?Megadog 00:45, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
