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

Besides, closer examination of the cover reveals that the green outline extends below Thundurus' chin. That suggests either really long legs, or that Tornadus may be standing up.

I presume you mean Landorus?

Is it just me, or does Landorus have a paw/hand/whatever on the rock? So... if it is standing up, would that mean its head is turned 180 degrees?

Alternate theory: it could be a lizard clinging onto the rock, with its head at 180, and the extended green outline could be its tail hanging down.

You know what, after looking at it's beak and you mentioning it's head turned 180 landorous might actually be an owl...it's face seems owl like to me...

Although if its head is angled at 180, then we can see its back. And... no wings.


God, this is confusing.

I can't tell. It has the same color outline as Tornadus, but that's all I can ascertain.

Is there anybody that could try to translate the text just below this?

I... I can't tell!

However, if it is from Pokemon, it must be a new form. I can see some blue, so... Oh, god, are they merging Kyurem with itself!?

There's green and red as well... I really have no idea what this could possibly be. The text has to be the key, though.


EDIT: Actually, this is probably more than one creature, since there's a white spot (presumably the gap between two).

It's supposed to be from the unrelated anime that's being advertised in the cover.

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

That's a bit random, I have to say...

Although I am a bit disappointed because I actually like their original formes before. I find the argument that they're all "pointless palette swaps" completely ridiculous. They have a shared origin so of course they'll look extremely similar to one another. I'll have to wait and see their full artwork to make a proper judgment.

Well, we'd better hear where the trio came from, and why they look so damn human.

True. We didn't get much of a story last time around, did we?

@Polkadot Jolteon; I imagine it is still relevant to call them Kami, since only one is certainly avian. And, iirc, Kami in mythology can shapeshift.

Well, but is too close of the new formes, and those are the only things in the cover that are outlined..

And it shares Tornadus's outline color.

So perhaps we shouldn't have been so quick to dismiss it?

Tornadus and Thundurus are based on Fūjin and Raijin, the Shinto gods of Wind and Thunder. They are usually paired together in Japanese art and are usually depicted as demon-like, hence their humanesque appearance.

Landorus is the odd one out for being based on Inari, who is a Shinto god of agriculture.

Of course, why they shapeshift into those formes needs an explanation, but since shapeshifting is a power that Japanese Kami can preform, I'm not too surprised that they can do that in the first place.

I didn't called dems... not-Kami. I saidses Tornadus can possibly learn Roost now, which would be a fantastic exploitation method and perhaps even the loose kind of thing that causes a glitch.

You could be right. Although, since it's pure Flying and Roost takes that type away, wouldn't that mean it needs another type?

Perhaps. Or maybe it just can't learn it. Which would be disappointing.

Or maybe we're looking at a re-introduction of ???-type in B2/W2?

Kind of would. Might it just turn Normal, under those circumstances?

It's likely, and I considered that. But surely Game Freak aren't that uncreative? Otherwise Pidgey etc. would also be pure Flying.
