Pokémon White features a black mon and Pokémon Black features a white mon

For some reason this seems to awesomely tie the two together but also bugs me somehow.

Turn the Contrast all the way down.  Now they're both gray.  Problem solved ^_^

ClockworkUniverse

I assume it's because if they'd done it the other way around, they'd have blended in with the backgrounds on the covers.

Vivi

Yin and Yang.

Vorpy

Inner-city racism.

It's based on the Yin-Yang symbol.  Zekrom's the black dot while Reshiram's the white dot.  Also, what INUH said.

DYRE

Mostly what INUH said.

Funny, my 11-year-old sister's been complaining about this since she first saw the cover art. My response was the same as INUH's.

And then there's Kyurem as Wuj, but fuck it everybody hates Kyurem.

"I assume it's because if they'd done it the other way around, they'd have blended in with the backgrounds on the covers."

That didn't stop them from doing this with every other color.

Vivi

I just don't like how Kyurem is so ugly, but they did that on purpose.

Crimson

On the contrary, I think Kyrem has the best design out of all the Unova Dragons. Also the fact that it's bad enough to be bumped down into OU grants it more of my respect than its Uber dwelling brethren.

Yeah, they had Charizard for Red and FireRed, Venusaur for LeafGreen, Blastoise for Blue...

"Also the fact that it's bad enough to be bumped down into OU grants it more of my respect than its Uber dwelling brethren."

That's because it's meant to be incomplete. A prototype of sorts. Though I still wonder why Glaciate is such a weak-ass move, but that might be part of the prototype aspect.

Crimson

I'm well aware of that, but still I'm liking the fact that a "Greater Legendary" is in OU more than I should.

Although, the alternate forme it's gonna get in Gray is totally going to be Uber worthy. Even if Cold Flame and Freeze Shock suck ass.

Forzare

This thread reminds me that I still really need to get Black or White.

Alkthash

I dunno if Kyurem really needs an alternate form. The point of it's design was that it's incomplete. Filling it in and bumping it up, runs contrary to what it is supposed to represent. I mean just because it happened with Giratina doesn't mean it has to happen again. If anything Giratina's two forms were just furthering it's design as a pokemon that lives in two worlds.

^^I'm going to get Black or White, but I'm currently trying to obtain every gen.1-4 Pokemon, so...it'll be awhile.

Alkthash

Even event legendaries? Well the game will still count your pokedex as complete if you manage to catch everything except event legendaries.

ClockworkUniverse

Some of them. I think I'll be able to obtain Mew and Jirachi, at least.
