I wonder if the Pure Flying Legendary is Normal/Flying *looks at Chatot*

Also, did Serebii's source count Zorua, Zoroark and Victini? Because that'd make 6 event Pokémon, not 3.

I don't think the pure Flying and the Electric/Flying will be related to the Ground/Flying.

Now Poison (I believe?) is the only Type without a legendary.

If this list is accurate, then yes.

I do find it funny that when GF finally decides to put a Fighting legend in, they give us four, not just one. xD

We really could have done without the abysmal Grass/Fighting typing. Remember Breloom?

What was Serebii's reasoning for not counting Victini, Zorua and Zoroark as event-only PKMN? Are they not event-only? :uhoh:

Why of course, I couldn't forget one of my favorite Pokemon.

Typings aren't all about how 'good' or 'abysmal' they are. Breloom is the only other Pokemon with Grass/Fighting. Now we can have a legend with the typing, and I'm almost banking on it being badass. I love Grass Pokemon. And I love Fighting Pokemon. This really interests me.

Exactly what I thought. And given his listings, the only number they can be are:
494 - Victini
636 - Zorua
637 - Zoroark

Which places the ZoDuo above Non-Legendaries. I'm emailing him now tbh, because CoroCoro already confirmed Zorua is event only.

Serebii's direct post was that, outside the last three legendaries, all other pokemon in this generation are obtained during "normal gameplay."

Exactly how is going on Wi-Fi to obtain an exclusive item "normal gameplay?" How is importing a specific movie-related Celebi or a shiny 13th movie beast from Gen IV "normal gameplay?"

You can't obtain any of these pokemon "in the game."

Apparently Hiro is stating that the Grass/Steel/Rock + Fighting trio are quadrupeds. And that the other trio are Raijin.

Also, something that is neat, in Gen IV, approximately 1 in every 7.5 Pokemon were legendary. An overload. Here in Gen V, it's 1 in every 12. So much better, is it not?

This was a couple of pages back (not to mention from some random person with no credibility), but the Gear having an ability-based split evo is false. Melkor said there aren't any split evos. (Assuming he's telling the truth, but Melkor's far more reliable than Blalu, whoever the hell that is). Unless Blalu meant something like Wormadam where the evo has different Formes, but the way he worded it, it sounded like he was implying they were separate Pokémon.

I don't think the pure Flying and the Electric/Flying will be related to the Ground/Flying.

Yes, they are. Melkor said there are 3 trios, and we have three sets of legends with a type in common. On the site, Hiro said the Flying trio are all based on "Raijin" (thunder gods); not sure why they're all Flying instead of Electric though. :confused:

Oh, and pure Flying FTW!

EDIT: "Raijin" are also known as "Tenjin" which means "sky god", so that sort of makes sense with the whole Flying thing. Also, completely irrelevant, but I just noticed that as a suffix the Japanese word for "god" is pronounced the same as the word for "man". That's... interesting.

Really weird wording, he uses there. Not like I believe it, even though I want to. The way he says it it's like he implies the Zoro-duo is available like RioLucario in-game during DPPt and Victini is as well. But I know that Victini was stated to only be obtainable at the event-only Liberty Island(?), so... wth?

#635 - #141 Pseudo evo 2
#636 - #142 Zorua

#641 - #147 Flying
#642 - #148 Electric/Flying
#643 - #149 Reshiram

Good morning everyone. I see the rumors are running rampant as usual. So i see there will be a pure flying type legendary. Thats awesome, and a flying trio and a fighting trio, i wonder if they are meant to counteract each other. I read the iwata asks thing, so the games are being targetted to older players. This shaping up so far to be a superspecialawesome game. I'll never be able to wait a week. So nothing ealse has been said about our Legendary Ice dragon?

#645 Ground/Flying
#646 Dragon/Ice
#647 Event #1
#648 Event #2
#649 Event #3

That's what it looks like. However, it would make more sense if it went like:

#632 Pseudo
#633 Pseudo evo 1
#634 Pseudo evo 2
#635 Steel/Fighting
#636 Rock/Fighting
#637 Grass/Fighting
#638 Flying
#639 Electric/Flying
#640 Ground/Flying
#641 - #149 Reshiram
#642 - #150 Zekrom
#643 Dragon/Ice
#644 Zorua
#645 Zoroark
#646 Victini

#647 Event #1
#648 Event #2
#649 Event #3

I'm excited to see how they make the Electric-Flying look different from Zapdos.

Yeah, for those unaware(though I doubt that there are) "Raijin" are "Beings of the Heavens/Celestial Beings(not planets)" that are found in Japanese(and other Asian) mythology. They're associated with the sky, lightning and thunder, etc... It explains the -Flying type they have.

@Hoze: Emonga is an Electric/Flying, lol.
