Woah, new forms for the Kami trio? Never guessed that would happen, they have some surprises included in the new games it seems.

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

They're pretty ugly, but I kind of like it. Generally, I like new forms.. With Shaymin I didn't care for it too much until Sky form came out. Same with Giratina and Rotom as well.

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

After looking at them for a bit, i'm thinking thus far:
Tornadus = Bird
Thundurus = Dragon
Landorus = Turtle
... it seems like... the Kami trio's new forms are based of the Shishin (Four heavenly beasts) from Chinese mythology Shijin (Shishin) - Four legendary Chinese creatures protecting the four compass directions
The only exception being the white tiger.
Zubat, Golbat, Crobat, Woobat, and Swoobat say hi. Bats are also mammals :B
Yeah, I forgot about those ones...
How interesting. if it's not referencing that Chinese legend then they better have a good excuse.
And dammit! I was gonna say "bats"

The four Sacred beasts are also part of Japanese myth... Suzaku, Seiryu, Genbu and Byakko so it's a major part of both Chinese and Japanese culture

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

I swear that "formes" is the worst thing to ever happen to the Pokemon franchise.

Instead of ugly new pokemon, they're just rehashed ugly old Pokemon!

I think Deoxys is the only one whos knew formes were well received.

Giratna's Shaymin's Kyurem al their formes have been well revieved as has Rotom so... nope... actually I kinda like Deoxys' formes the least... S-Shaymin is cute and Giritina-O and B/W Kyurem are badass and Romom is just quirky

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

Wait a minute.

Jo forgot to mention that there is an addition.

"In addition, there are some more leaks from CoroCoro. First off, Pokéwood, which is a portmonteau of "Pokémon" and "Hollywood", is to replace Pokémon Musical in Black 2 and White 2. Second, Cheren, one of the rivals in Black and White, is to be a gym leader in Black 2 and White 2. Finally, a facility is to be in the games where various other leaders from the past, including Brock, Misty, Lance and others, appear."

I found this bit of information on Serebii.net.

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

I still feel like the only one who likes the Kami Trio due to their interesting aesthetic. It's like, my favorite Legendary Pokemon Trio. Now they're possibly(not confirmed yet) going to be even more badass than they already are to me and they're still not well-received by the fandom :(.

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

Hmmmm... Well, Tornadus definitely looks like a big bird now... But I'm not seeing anything different with Thundurus or Landorus. Am I missing something?

Another thing: Do I see Chili?

Wait a minute.

Are you serious??? WHOA!!! Well, maybe not about the "Pokewood" thing (not a big surprise to me), or Cheren becoming a gym leader (although, I was thinking that he might be the champion instead. Willing to bet that he takes over the 8th gym). But WHOA!!! Brock and Misty in BW2!? Awesome! (does this mean that they'll appear in the anime? *fingers crossed*)

But wait, Lance isn't a gym leader, he's an elite 4 member/champion.

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

I couldn't make out Landorus's and Thunderus's forms, but I do honestly think Tornadus's looks pretty stupid. I also doubt that they are based on the celestial beasts Suzaku, Seiryu, Genbu and Byakko. And for those who are saying Cheren is the gym leader, it is too soon to say.

Birdnadus, Tigerus and Turtorus... <--- I don't even know what to say anymore. Shocked and disappointed.

I agree, only the cover page has leaked so far, so we cannot confirm that any information is true, most of it is rumors that don't sound like they fit in the series at all.

He forgot to mention Giovanni will also return in BW 2

So the cover was confirmed to be an actual leak?

Oi... Well, kami are spirits who can shapeshift their forms, so I guess it still works...

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

ROFL What the f**k Was my actual response. This came out of the void from another dimension, seriously Toridii made more sense than this XD Though, if someone can find why and what their formes reference then I will gladly shut up.

Tornadus = Bird
Landorus = Turtle
Thundurus = Chinese Lung/Dragon

Thats kinda what I get from their new formes. It can't be referencing the 4 Cardinal Guardians because... there are well four of them, and there is no relation between the Kami and the Tao Dragons.

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

*looks at new formes. WHAT IS THIS? I DON'T EVEN....

Aaanyways, freakyness added to weirdness aside, I like the idea of gym leaders from other games appearing in BW2. I really think they are starting to get the idea that they needed to appeal more to fans of all generations this time so I think I might actually consider buying this game new. I hope the same can be said about the anime someday....

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

Tornadus is the only one who looks positively hilarious. Landorus and Thundurus just look awesome.

Especially the former's stare.

Now that you mentioned it, I DO see the other two's resembelance to a dragon and turtle, seems like that, while the main, humanoid forms are based off the wind spirits of Fujin, Raijin, and Tsuchijin from Japanese Mythology, the Kami trio's new forms are based of the Shishin (Four heavenly beasts) from Chinese mythology Shijin (Shishin) - Four legendary Chinese creatures protecting the four compass directions

The only exception being the white tiger.

Now I know where the basis for Beyblade's four main bit beasts came from...

Re: Kami Trio receiving new formes in upcoming games: CoroCoro cover reveals possible

Why does the dragon have to be TOD? I have no reason not to believe they will pull a Regigigas, and give us a similar Pokemon in gen 6, part of an expansion for the AR searcher.

MAJORUS EDITUS:
We're all idiots, in regard to speculating. They should be the Shijin:

Tornadus was originally red. Red is the bird color of the Shijin. They been planning this after all!
