Rumored form for Kyurem.

It's for the best that poor little freezer-chicken gets a new form so that people will stop mocking it :C
Here's hoping the second form will be at least as cute as the current one!

The 'Gamefreak email' is a bit fishy so the appearance of the new form(e) is probably quite different from the described one. I gotta admit, a see-through body sounds really cool though.
 
I certainly hope it gets one.

The big issue I have with Kyurem is that Reshiram and Zekrom are both extremely cool pokemon, but Kyurem just doesn't complement them the way it should.

R and Z both look a) really cool b) unmistakably legendary (unlike, say, the cow trio) c) complementary without looking too identical, and d) suggestive enough of the yin-yang concept that one can fairly quickly "get it". They just work.

But Kyurem just doesn't work as a "balance pokemon" in between the two. It doesn't look like either Reshiram or Zekrom at all. It has too much blue in its color scheme and not enough grey. Similarly, it looks too much like an ice type. Compare this to R and Z who are very monochromatic and don't look like their types at all. I really am liking the idea of bringing back the classic fire/electric/ice trio but when one looks way too much like its type for its own good, it throws the whole thing off.

I just feel like, in general, it looks too unrelated to R and Z to work as a part of the trinity. Not to mention: it's not nearly cool enough. So, yeah, I really hope they change that with the new Forme.

A lot of people said this about Giratina in relation to Dialga and Palkia, but look where that got them.

Well, Giratina is more of a counter part to Arceus instead of a balance between Dialga and Palkia, but there's no Arceus for Kyurem.

Unless Kyurem is supposed to balance Genosect, but that doesn't quite work out either.
 
Really? I thought Giratina went pretty well with Dialga and Palkia... at least the quadruped (sextruped?) forme.
 
Kyurem was freezing everything, so genosect laser'd it and made it ugly.

Kinda like arceus-giratina?

1) Tch, you are too fussy over the design of Pokemon. Kyurem is fine as it is, and I'm thinking it doesn't really need a new form. :P

2) Reshi, Zek and Kyu represent the three main energies of the world: natural (Reshi), technogical (Zek), and anti-energy (Kyu). :P Not yin-yang-whateverthenameofbalanceis.

3) AGAIN with the design. :P I think you're overdoing it, you know? Besides, these are different designers! Do you expect perfection? Do you expect everything to be similar? And how does a Pokemon look too much like its own type for its own good? I could almost say that with Giratina. :P

1) I never thought of it that way! X)

2) No... Just... no. How is a mechanical bug related to an anti-energy dragon? ._.

1) KYUREM. NOT. UGLY. KYUREM. AWESOME. XP

2) No. ._.

I feel like I'm being too harsh on this! DX
 
Well, I do think it is possible that Kyurem will get a new form.

However, I think that the e-mail that your friend got is most likely a fake. Kyurem's real alternate form probably won't be revealed until around the release of the third version.

As for Kyurem's design? I'm not a huge fan of it. Plus, it doesn't look like it even belongs with Reshiram and Zekrom

...how? Well, it's not a balance between them per se, but it's still clearly associated with them, not with Arceus. What with the Dragon-plus-other-type and named-after-precious-thing and 680-base-stat-total and stats-go-150-120-120-100-100-90 and learning-counterpart-moves-at-identical-levels. It shares absolutely every typical counterpart-Pokémon trait with Dialga and Palkia, not Arceus, save for having an extra form.

Where are you getting any sort of Arceus-association from? The only way that can possibly make sense is if you're just looking for a "Satan" to Arceus's "God", and if you are it's a clear case of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
 
I have also heard of a new form on dA, but it was rather a Kyurem standing up and some other major modifications. I believe there will be one, but not how was described by the guy who was "emailed by GameFreak".
 
Giratina represents antimatter, not death or evil or what have you, so that couldn't be it anyway; it was apparently demonized, sure, but that wasn't why it was originally created. I guess you could still say antimatter works as an "anti-universe" or whatever, but antimatter does exist within the universe itself as opposed to in opposition to it (gorgeous wording there). Game canon, at the very least, has Cynthia and Cyrus saying that their studies point toward giratina's "dimension" being created as a counterbalance to time and space. No, antimatter doesn't fit that association very well, either, but that's what canon says so that's the primary definition of what giratina is. Giratina being grouped with dialga and palkia really isn't up for debate unless you're talking AU or fanon or something.
