Blake Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm personally gonna go for Yveltal, and I know that Caeda's wanting X right now, based on aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think Xerneas looks awesome and cool, so I'm going with X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I prefer Yvetal because it looks more badass, thus by that logic I'll be picking up Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Definitely Yveltal. Always preferred the airborne Legendaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I prefer Yveltal, but the fact that he's a Dark Dragon sucks because that was the version I was gonna use Chespin in. Although if Chespin isn't Grass/Dark, that would solve everything. As things stand, I'm getting both, but I'll have to make X my main version.

Tentacruel Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Getting X. Xerneas looks too epic.  And because he looks like the forest god from Princess Mononoke. =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Was Yveltal even confirmed or just rumored? Oh, turns out it wasn't officially confirmed yet. But I dunno, it kinda looks like a Dark Dragon and Xerneas being Ice/Psychic is not that far a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 I like the art design for both legendaries. I know I'll be getting both anyhow. So which I play first may just depend on the typing, or a single game exclusive Pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellcaster2000 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 REASONS WHY XERNEAS IS BETTER: Unlike most legendary Pokemon, he actually looks rare and magical rather than 'POWERFUL DWAGON MAKES LEGENDZ LOL!' Very few stag/deer pokemon, unlike dragons. Potential to have an interesting typing. REASONS WHY YVETAL IS BETTER: He looks powerful and such Very unique Has wings People like dragons  Make your desicisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellcaster2000 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 So two of your reasons for Xerneas is... it's not a dragon? =/ Â My God, this is a stupid list of reasons to like each. Well it's why people like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Well it's why people like them. Generic ass reasons that aren't applicable at all are reasons? Â Â Since when are dragons not mythical creatures? Since when is listing NOT DRAGON twice a pro? Since when is Yveltal a confirmed dragon, albeit likely? What does "looks powerful" have to do with Yveltal anymore than Xerneas? What does having wings have to do when it's a bird/avian-esque-possibly-dragon? How is it anymore unique than Xerneas? Both have a potential for interesting typing, as do any non-typing revealed Pokemon, so how is that a pro? Â There's nothign special here. It doesn't comment on the design, it doesn't even get all the facts straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellcaster2000 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Generic ass reasons that aren't applicable at all are reasons?   Since when are dragons not mythical creatures? They're overused Since when is listing NOT DRAGON twice a pro? I didn't Since when is Yveltal a confirmed dragon, albeit likely? OK so you're telling me he isn't? I'm judging by common sense here What does "looks powerful" have to do with Yveltal anymore than Xerneas? Xerneas is a stag. Yvetal is a huge dragon with huge wings What does having wings have to do when it's a bird/avian-esque-possibly-dragon? When I say that 'it has wings', i am saying that people like it because it flies. Just look at previous posts How is it anymore unique than Xerneas? I said they both were, for different reasons Both have a potential for interesting typing, as do any non-typing revealed Pokemon, so how is that a pro? Most would agree that Yvetal would be maybe Dark/Dragon or similair. Which has also been done.  There's nothign special here. It doesn't comment on the design, it doesn't even get all the facts straight. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Done. Overused makes them less mythical? Â You used it twice: "Unlike most legendary Pokemon, he actually looks rare and magical rather than 'POWERFUL DWAGON MAKES LEGENDZ LOL!' Very few stag/deer pokemon, unlike dragons." Slightly different contexts, but twice. Â He's not confirmed to be a dragon, at all. He looks just as avian as dragon, so what's your point here? Â "It has wings" is still a weak ass argument, and you should be able to see how. Â And you only said Yveltal was unique. You called Xerneas unusual, but you clearly said Yveltal was very unique. Â No one "agrees" on that, there was just a source that claimed it was, but was never confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spellcaster2000 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Overused makes them less mythical? No, it makes them seem less so. They're just overdone. Xerneas looks like a magicall creature from some sort of fairy tale. You used it twice: "Unlike most legendary Pokemon, he actually looks rare and magical rather than 'POWERFUL DWAGON MAKES LEGENDZ LOL!' Very few stag/deer pokemon, unlike dragons." When I said 'powerful dragon makes legend', i did not mean to speak of dragon's specifficaly. Just the general 'Big and Strong = automaticaly legendary' stuff. Slightly different contexts, but twice. Just been disproved He's not confirmed to be a dragon, at all. He looks just as avian as dragon, so what's your point here? He looks more like a wyvern than most, which would fall under dragon type. I'll tel you what, if he's not a dragon type, THEN sue me. "It has wings" is still a weak ass argument, and you should be able to see how. No I can't. Read above. That's why they like him. I don't physically NEED more there. And you only said Yveltal was unique. You called Xerneas unusual, but you clearly said Yveltal was very unique. His design is. The creature he is based on is not. No one "agrees" on that, there was just a source that claimed it was, but was never confirmed. MOST. I said MOST. It's not a fact, but it's probable. It's hard to guess for Xerneas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 It doesn't make them less mythical at all. They are still mythical creatures, even when overused. And Yveltal looks like he's from a fairy tale, too =/  You didn't disprove anything. You stated dragons = con twice You can say all you like about what you "meant", but what you said was different.  There's no proof that he's a dragon type, and he doesn't look anymore like a wyvern than a stylized vulture.  So, I searhced the last 2 pages before this one, and there wasn't 1 mention of wings or flying. Care to try again?  So now you're not even trying to defend the fact that you claimed one was unique and the other wasn't? Especially after you JUST claimed you said both were unique? Get your arguments straight.  Um, no. Show me this "most" that isn't linked to that source, then I'll believe you. And you kill your own argument here, because if Yveltal is Dark/Dragon, it's fairly easy to predict what Xerneas likely is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zazubat Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Are we seriously arguing about which pokemon is better right now? Yvetal is my pick though, why, no real reason it just is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Tim Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Honestly its typing is only a small factor, it doesnt even have much say really, If its a legendary chances are it'll end up in the uber tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Honestly its typing is only a small factor, it doesn't even have much say really. If it's a legendary, chances are it'll end up in the uber tier. I agree, it's pretty much a given that they'll become Uber. ALL cover legendaries end up as Uber (Except Suicune and Black Kyurem)  While I'm choosing to play Y, because I like Yvetal, it doesn't mean I'm dismissing Xerneas as a whole. I like both of them.  REASONS WHY I LIKE XERNEAS: The different colours used on its horns make it look pretty whilst not being too much. Its name, deriving from Cernunnos (horned Celtic god), is fitting for its status as a legendary. While that sounds like a generic-ass reason, I do think its interesting. REASONS WHY I LIKE YVETAL: The way that its official artwork is drawn, it makes it look really badass, and the design has grown on me. With its name deriving from yvel (a Middle English spelling of evil), its colouration makes that derivation fitting, and I quite like that.

Cin Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I believe that trend was only in Black and White. Since BW2 both gave the legendary whose colour matches the name, as did R (Groudon) S (Kyogre) E (Rayquaza), G (Ho-Oh) S (Lugia)/HGSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
