Thanongrit Suriyarungka Ooh, I like that imagery for it. I know I heard someone a while ago theorize Team Plasma as being inspired by the natures of Reshiram and Zekrom, hot and ionized, together making plasma. To add on to that, I think that Neo Team Plasma, since their original motives believed by their king, N, were ruined, they have no solid foundation for their destructive actions, making Kyurem represent them better in Black and White 2.

[@rayzersun6705]

The Tao Trio could also be referenced by "The Three Pure Ones" in Taoism, representing the three essentials of the body: Jing (body), Qi (spirit), and Shen (heart). And in a way, they sort of symbolize it. Kyurem only being a leftover *husk* is the Jing, Zekrom who represents *ideals* is the Shen (cuz ideals or desires r mostly from the heart), and Reshiram who represents *truth* is the Qi (the truth stems from logical thinking)

[@ReSV1]

Uhh, a minor correction, Jing (精) = Essence, Qi (气) = Ki (Energy), Shen (身) = Body. So the correct assumption would be, Shen = Kyurem. Zekrom would fall in line to Qi instead and Reshiram = Jing. Because in Chinese Taoism, Qi is more akin to energy in the surroundings and all humans could inherit Qi. But of course Qi is mostly could not be found, because in the end, Qi is more of a philosophical thought. Jing, however could be found, cause all humans have essence.

Considering Unova was the first region NOT based on Asia, I think the Western alchemy inspiration is way more interesting and fitting. Plus like you said, the theories are pretty similar in a lot of ways, anyway. I really love Gen 5 lore... I was really happy to see a lot of connections in X/Y, with the whole ancient castle's garden being devoted to Unovan legendaries and implying N and Z are blood related (c'mon, even their names are similar) but I was sad they didn't expand more on that by maybe telling us more about the two kings and the original dragon.

[@chaossin7425]

The color swaps should have been the shinys. Instead gamefreak went lazy with reshi and made a little gold and zek has a little bit of a filter.

Crimson Weeb Because Yugioh monster attacks actually matter. One could argue that their current colors already makes them similar to the yugioh dragons because Zekrom is a black dragon with red eyes and Reshiram is a white dragon with blue eyes

Maybe in the sequels/remakes Pokémon BLACK VERSION 3 and Pokémon WHITE VERSION 3, we will see the original dragon form of kyurem with 3 heads representing fire, ice and electricity powers and receiving the highest base stat total of all dragon type pokemon. Fun fact:kyurem is in fact the original dragon. Because it is the third legendary and also the leader of the tao trio. And kyurem is also referred by someone as the strongest dragon type pokemon in the world in the movie and due to the fact that kyurem used to be an unified dragon. In it’s original form, kyurem will be a pure dragon type pokemon with an ability that will raise the powers of fire, ice and electric type moves and it will also have the highest base stat totals of all dragon type pokemons.

[@ConnortheFan]

You should have also mentioned that Zekrom was electric type, while electrons give a negative charge, while Resheram was a fire type, while fire gives heat energy (vibrating molecules) which is recorded as positive.

That politics bit made me laugh XD Btw I just wanna share something: I had read somewhere that yes Reshiram was Yang, Zekrom was Yin and Kyurem was Wushi, and it came with a supposed actual story surrounding the Yin Yang, for there to be harmony specifically the 2 main Dragons needed to get along, Reshiram(Truth) on his side as Yang and Zekrom(Ideals) on his side as Yin, if the 2 were at peace than Kyurem could come and complete it, he would be able to align with them and so transform into his Black and White forms, which would be the little white circle in Yin(black) and the little black circle in Yang(White), however because of Zekrom/Yin/Ideals/Black and Reshiram/Yang/Truth/White constant fight to try to take over the other, Kyurem(Wushi) was left in his weaker form because he need them to get along in order to transform into his 2 more powerful forms and bring balance, so once he had enough he thought "if they are going to keep on fighting, I shall bring an end to everything and then there will be no one left to fight" and that's what Wushi is: the emptiness.

You may be onto something...

[@slightlyembittered]

You brought up some really good points about truth and Ideals as an Active vs Passive perspective. It actually reminded me a lot of the Serenity Prayer: "God, give me grace to accept the things that cannot be changed, (Truth / Passive) the Courage to change the things which should be changed, (Ideals / Active) and the Wisdom to know the difference." (Balance) As for Kyurem and Wuji, it reminded me of Captain Barbossa in Pirates 1 when he says, "I feel nothing." "For too long I’ve been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I’ve been starving to death and haven’t died. I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea. Nor the warmth of a woman’s flesh. You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Turner. You’re in one."
