Wow these forme names are too long.

EDIT: Oops didn't read the rest of the posts. So they were translated incorrectly.

Why did their names have to be so darn long? They sound more of a mouthful than N's full name. I'm curious about this "Overdrive" mode and on what circumstances will cause Kyurem to change into one of its formes.

They may not have been translated incorrectly. Search "Overdrive Kyurem" in your search engine and you should see many similar articles which include the same names of Kyurem as in this article.

I think the prefixes are just fancy titles for them, by the way. They will still probably be just Black/White Kyurem.

Also, I like the artwork change to emphasize the names. I couldn't distinguish the red and blue wire things before.

The apparently-clumsy nature of the names is in part due to translation from Japanese; that said, the names in Japanese are no shorter than the translations.

Based on the small amount of information we have, I suspect that these "names" refer not to the Pokemon per se, but to what they become under the effects of whatever Overdrive is. This may be an ability-related thing, like Zen Mode and Flower Gift.

Sparkling Blue Black Kyurem, Shining Red White Kyurem.

Fuse together to make Shining Purple Sparkles Grey Kyurem!

Am I the only one thinking that their forms look somewhat..."artificial"? Those wire/energy things coming from their tails don't look that natural to me. D8

That said, I love Sparkling Blue and Burning Red. Long titles never hurt anyone.
Gold/Silver Park Balls in DP meant HGSS. Obviously Red -> Ruby and Blue -> Sapphire. Hints come from unexpected places. /sarcasm

This is just pure speculations, but it might be possible that Kyurem changes forms through items, maybe with similar items like the stones Zekrom and Reshiram resided in.

This. Basically, it's the same as saying that Meloetta is Pirouette Meloetta through Relic Song. Or saying "[name]-plate Arceus".

They call them Burning Red and Sparkling Blue because, unlike Pokémon with notable differences under an ability, this ability has different effects, so it has different names for these effects. (Regardless though of how the different effect is deppendant on the form)
Of course, these effects themselves stack with the names of Kyurem's Black and White forms.

So it's: [Ability effect] [Form] Kyurem

Also I can't stop thinking of "Sparkling" as "Kirakira" instead... キラキラ カワイーレム~

Re: Official names of Black, White Kyurem revealed: Kyurem to change forme in Overdri

I smell a mistranslation; the text in the Daisuki Club image still has "Black Kyurem" and "White Kyurem" in quotation brackets, with the respective "Sparkling Blue" and "Burning Red" parts outside those brackets, which would mean the official names are still simply "Black Kyurem" and "White Kyurem."

I think a more accurate translation would be "Black Kyurem who sparkles blue" and "White Kyurem who burns red."

Yeah, these are descriptors and are not part of the form names. On other bits of merchandise including a poster in the Pokémon Centres, the Sparking Blue & Burning Red parts are completely separate from the name.

The form names are Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Overdrive is the term that has been used since 2010 for when Reshiram & Zekrom's tails light up. it's not a prelude to a new form

Just drop the red and blue parts. Sparkling Black Kyurem would refer to when Black Kyurem starts going sparkly. Why the hell do we need such long names?

Horrifying names D:. All japanese cartoons are so full of these supposedly epic megasuper names, which are actually just quite lame.

But Overdrive sounds pretty interesting. Hopefully we'll get new information soon.

I just saw the pictures of these new kyurem and they reminded me of palkia a little for
some reason. They almost have the same futures on their faces. If you would just look.

They aren't the names. The names are Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Seriously, refer to my previous post :/

Oh, well that makes more sense.

Still, those names were funny.

Re: Official names of Black, White Kyurem revealed: Kyurem to change forme in Overdri

Edit: Also, be serious guys. The in-battle name is still going to be Kyurem. By your logic, Speed Deoxys using Extremespeed would be "Speed Deoxys used Extremespeed", not "Deoxys used Extremespeed". And that is not how forme names work at all.

They aren't the names. The names are Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. Seriously, refer to my previous post :/

I just love it when people get all high-end pissy at other people for just joking around. Oh, wait, that's right. This is Pokemon, it's serious business.

When people ignore the one factual post in the entire thread, and keep commenting on the original, incorrect, article, it's probably a good idea to restate facts. Regardless of whether people are "joking around" or not, they're still treating the misinformation this entire thread is presenting as fact as... well, fct.

(also, why on earth has this article not been recalled yet? This is shoddy journalism at its finest)

I think that may be the point. I think these formes are pushing for a more artificial-looking design.



Anyways, the thing that gets me here is that Kyurem takes these formes when his "emotions get worked up." I don't want to make Kyurem angry or sad D,:
