Pokemon Black and White Music - Electrifying Black Yin! VS. Zekrom

The Black Yin Pokemon, Zekrom, strikes.
Note: Reshiram and Zekrom DO NOT have the same exact battle theme. There are minor differences in instruments here and there. Labeling one theme as being for both is incorrect.

[@diurnaldays785]

And I noticed the unique names: KyuREM ZekROM ReshiRAM So, one in all, they are in contrast to each other.

[@queimporta1257]

My list of the legendary pokemon in order from best to worst and I don't care about butthurt genwunners, hoenn lovers, etc: 1.- Unova: I just love Reshiram's look and also Zekrom (Reshiram is my favoutrite) also their theme it's just awsome, it makes you feel like this will be an epic battle where you will have to try to capture a very powerfull Pokemon. 2.- Kalos: I like the looks of the 3 legendaries in this region, also the theme sounds really cool, it sounds like this actually is something like a decisive battle. 3.-Sinnoh: The looks of the legends looks good and even if the theme is not that epic, it sounds like fighting a superior Pokemon, also Giratina's theme actually sounds awsome, it really fits with the place you encounter him, Giratina's theme sounds cool because it sounds like battling the king of the shadows and darkness. 4.-Johto: For me Ho-Oh is not that cool for me, just a legendary bird, Lugia looks good in my opinion and I like that they have different themes, as well as the legendary beast, I don't like Ho-Oh's theme that much but at least Lugia's theme really fits with him, being the king of seas (correct me if I'm wrong with something here). 5.-Hoenn: Sorry Hoenn lovers but remember that this is just my opinion, and I don't say that my opinion is more important than yours, so no hate okay? Well, I kinda like Kyogre's look, but I'm not really a fan of Hoenn legendaries, still the theme is epic because it sounds like facing a god or a titan wich makes the battle epic. 6.-Kanto: Sorry genwunners, but as I said before, it's just my opinion, in fact, every gen is special and creative in some way, so no hate please? Well there's just Mewtwo wich just have a remix of a wild pokemon, and still sounds awsome in X and Y, the same theme as the legendary birds, but the only cool-looking Pokemons in Kanto ar just Mewtwo, and Mew, wich is nearly imposible to get in X and Y, still cool theme. That's just my opinion, but let me say that I'm not a fag that goes saying something like ''RECHIRAN AND SECROM'S DESING SUX!1!!!1 IS TE WORT I'BE EBER SEEN!!1!!!!11!!1!'' I don't hate any Pokemon because I'm a true Pokemon fan, and I actually like any dessing of every Pokemon because is unice, even if it's ugly, as I said before, every gen is special and must be loved, so please don't hate new gens just because they are not like previous gens, new gens are different because if they were like previous gens then it would be like playing the same game over and over again, so please don't go saying a gen is bad like if you could do something better.

I used a synchronizing site to combine this with the other themes. Kyurem was slightly off-time (desync @ about 5sec) so I scrapped that lol. Then Reshiram's theme went slightly off too, but it doesn't desync until much later (@ about 26.5sec) Either way, I was able to hear the electric sounds and the flames simultaneously...it was amazing.

[@TreeckoANDGrovyle]

@hamdan7860 Kyurem is supposed to be the "corpse" of the original dragon that Reshiram and Zekrom were originally. That is why he is ice type

[@Luigifan18]

@EdtheBlueNinjaYoshi4 Reshiram and Zekrom have a catch rate of 45 (in other words, they're captured just as easily as a Sawk or Throh.) Most legendaries have a catch rate of 3, which translates to "nearly impossible" (only a 0.4% chance when throwing a basic Pokeball at them at full health and no status, and not a whole lot better with a Timer Ball after 40 turns at 1 HP and asleep.)

@elijahhandley I was always afraid people would make fun of Reshiram the moment I saw it. I actually wanted Reshiram, but then they switched up the legendaries...I stuck with White still because I wanted White Forest and Braviary. I still didn't really like Zekrom, but then I learned what Zekrom wanted for the world, and I started to warm up to it. Thus ending up with me naming it Marisa.

[@Hyper_Drud]

it's stated in the english version that zekrom and reshiram used to be one dragon pokemon until they were split apart somehow. and it's also hinted that kyurem comes from space.

[@bubbyjm31]

@DPBlackReshiram finally someone who doesnt say that they are the same.

Im glad they did contradicting types for the legendary Pokemon, but if they add an Ice type that would mess everything up. Cause Reshiram wouldnt have a problem destroying it. They should make the third one like Dragon and Psychic.
