Okay i'm swayed. I am so going to get Pokemon Black. Just look at how frigging awesome that Zekrom is. Hot damn, I am starting to wonder its typing too. If they do a Dark/Ghost legendary I am going to LOL. His design is really cool though. Reshiram doesn't look bad either but it looks like it got caught half way through a transformation from a bird to a... Thing.

Not about to disagree with ya Joey. X3 They are really *REALLY* well-done compared to the starters, so my hopes have been partially restored. The bird thing looks pretty beautiful save the strange jet engine turbine-like thing that is apparently its tail. Also, I'm trying to make heads or tails of what the hell that is sprouting out behind Zekram. If I'm not wrong, it looks like a mothertruckin' DRILL, so Gurren Lagaan puns abound. Reshiram seemes to be an amalgamation of a Simmurgh for the dog-face and claws, and a Caladrius for the white plumage and bird body, and general ethreality. This friends, is how you do a Legendary >3 I'm guessing Flying/Ghost? Flying/Psychic? With the ghost part being closer to the Gardevoir standard of 'ghost' instead of Ghastlies and Duskulls. Zekram's design seems more grounded though---complete opposite of Reshiram in a good way, and from the body plates/ drill tail thing/ color, my guess is probably Steel/Dark or Dark/Dragon or Steel/Dragon. That thing is seriously GAR. Plus, I've been wanting to see a legendary gargoyle for ages, and this is quite literally the next best thing. I'm on the bandwagon XDXD

RESHIRAM IS A BUG TYPE.
If this turns out to be true I will LOL at you all.
They're both actually fairly decent in design, I'm real fond of Reshiram though. Not because it looks like an angel, but there's something about it...

I like both of them, but I've got a weak spot for Reshiram I'm hoping ice/dragon, ice/ghost, dragon/ice, dragon/psychic or Ice/psychic Zekrom seems a a dark/dragon, or ghost/dragon... They both look nice! Thou there tail are.... Who's gonna help me cut those off? XD I don't like machine-like Pokemon (not a big steel-fan) and they seem to have rockets for tails. Both of them. Seems like Team Rocket gave them a boost XD Thank you for keeping this updated!!

According to an update on Serebii, a website looks like it's confirmed these two are indeed part Dragon.
"Going slightly under the radar, the Daisuki Club site has confirmed that the two new Pokémon; Reshiram & Zekrom, revealed yesterday, are part Dragon-type. It is unknown if they are pure Dragon or if they have a secondary type. In addition to this, the Daisuki Club also confirmed that the two game versions are going to have further differences outside of the exclusive Pokémon we have come to expect. To what extent, we don't yet know."

Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens! *points upwards* Reshiram seemes to be an amalgamation of a Simmurgh for the dog-face and claws, and a Caladrius for the white plumage and bird body, and general ethreality. This friends, is how you do a Legendary >3 I'm guessing Flying/Ghost? Flying/Psychic? With the ghost part being closer to the Gardevoir standard of 'ghost' instead of Ghastlies and Duskulls.

That thing is seriously GAR. Plus, I've been wanting to see a legendary gargoyle for ages, and this is quite literally the next best thing. Interesting thoughts on their design origins. I'm definitely seeing the traits in Simmurgh. Either way, there's something else about these designs which I can't quite put my finger on that I really like. Maybe its the simplified colour scheme?
As for the news on them being pseudo-Dragon in type, i'm not too shocked. Legendaries are starting to take that trend what with the type being dubbed a mythical one in Pokemon lore. As for their other types... Dark for Zekrom and still unsure about Reshiram. Maybe normal. I'm still dubious to go along with this new Light types business but its possible I guess.

Light types? no, please don't I'm not sure what to think of these. I've considered dark types the counter part of psychic types, and Ghost-types 'neutral' so that's going to change? any more types that might pop up? I showed the pictures to my brother, and he asked me if they had shit on there butts. he looked again, and then he asked if they placed the p***s wrong. (my brother is 18, and I think he is secretly still a Pokemon fan) So, the design is great, but the tails, are really wrong XD

Well this is what I find pointless about a Light type to counter Dark. Dark isn't specifically... OMG EVIL POWERS, SATAN SATAN SATAN! It's just fighting dirty. Why else would moves like Sucker Punch, Bite and Thief be under Dark? They'll all underhanded. Plus, Fighting is Super Effect on Dark types for being honourable in their fighting and not standing for such crooked ways.If a Light type is added... Eh I dunno, how would it pan out? If Pokemon from previous gens fall under a supposed light typing like Magneton did with the added Steel type in GSC then it's gonna be a huge shakeup.
The tails are a bit odd I will admit. Reshiram's made me double take when I first saw it but Zekrom's fits in pretty nice. Maybe their tails hold some sort of key to the B&W games? ;D Reshi's could do with a really slender tail design.

A little rumour running around on Serebii states that Zekrom could very well be an Electric type. A bit odd considering his look but it's more than possible I suppose. It'd make for a unique combination too.

To be honest they should just hurry up and give Eevee an evolved form of every type going. We all know it's going that way so why not just say to hell with it all and do one huge update. That said i'd love a Ghost or Poison Eeveelution.
With Reshiram being confirmed part Dragon, I am now curious as to whether or not his other typing will be Flying. He certainly gives off that vibe but hey... Zekrom looks more Dark than anything and it's supposedly going to be Electric.

I would love to white dragon dude to be part ice type. That would be awesome and part flying as well to make for a unique typing.
