"How is Game Freak going to top God?"

By making Gods of Gods.

What types of legendary monsters would you like to hunt, capture, train, and bond with in the fifth generation of Pokemon games?

I've made my disposition quite clear. Vaccuum physics, gravity, and annihilation legendary Pokemon would be awesome to behold.

What do you want?

If they actually go about making a 'god of the multiverse' or some other self-topping thing like that, then I think a shark will have been jumped. I completely agree about having PokéGods of more narrowly defined things like illusion, maybe the stars, and some other things. But if they keep trying to top themselves with relative strength of Pokémon, it's going to turn into DBZ.

I still stand by having legend of life and death. :V

Yoshi. "WE GO FOR GOD!"

I always thought there couldn't be a fifth gen thanks to Arceus (or Mew, if you wanna look at it that way (Arceus >>>> Mew :3)). If I recall correctly, they didn't really refer to Arceus as "god," even though we all know they pretty much did. What if they don't mean to top god in the fifth gen? I mean, I'm really hoping they make some unique-not-unique legendaries. Ever see a bug-legendary that isn't Arceus? I want one of those.

It's beileved that the legendary in the next movie is the Master of Illusion.

We need a rock legendary other than Regirock. I like to see a legendary wolf and snake.

Who says we have to have Gods of Gods? We could have more minor legendaries. For example, Celebi isn't the god of anything, it just time travels and makes forests grow. We could just have legendaries with great powers, but don't rule over one specific theme (time, space, nightmares, what-have-you.)

I'd like to see more diversified typings of legendaries like Fight, Poison, and Bug. I'd also like to see new dual typings that haven't been made yet; something like Water/Ghost maybe?
Oh yeah, one more point: I'd like to see legendaries that can be used for competitive battles.

How can they make a legendary pokemon more powerful than the god pokemon itself? 5th gen has to be the hardest to pull off and hopefully the last because isnt 493 enough? Sure pokemon shouldn't die but, what ideas will they have? A hamburger pokemon? Next thing you know they start with ice cream or Mario or even human beings. I'm think a pokemon more powerful then god has to be a pokemon of all universes'. A pokemon that is the all of all and not an over sized cookie.

How about Jesus? I know its wrong but it might work

To clarify some points of my own:

My "Gods of Gods statement is something of a reference to Marvel, where even heaven, hell, and related powers are dwarfed by superheroes and supervillians. I was using it as a phrase that meant that God won't be the stopping point for Pokemon.

As for "better than Arceus", that simply referred to the people who said, "How can you top God?" It's just an example I used. In the next generation, I highly doubt that a legend will be created to top Arceus. But it is still a possibility I'd like to entertain.

There you go, hopefully my statements seem a bit clearer.

A dark legendary.

I want a water+fire type legendary, specifically, usable of course, and with ok moves, but not too cheap.

Besides that, I'd like to see a ground,water,bug, and especially flying type legendary, I know some are already legends, but we need them combined in with another type.

The only thing that I don't want to see in legendarys is psychic type. We have enough of those.

Nothing will top Arceus, but seeing a Cockroach frightening out Cresselia and other grass and psychic legendary Pokemon would be awesome. Seriously, BUG is needed.

Screw the Gods, lol. I seriously think Arceus was release waaaaay too early.

But I agree with many other users. Just make "lesser" legendaries.

How about a pokemon that has no weakness, (no type) but has super effective moves over every type? That tops arceus by 9000.

If they start Make POKEMON as GOD... I not want to play the rest new pokemon game anymore... ._.

I can't imagine a pokemon stronger than arceus

I think legendaries reached their peak at the 4th generation, and now they should go back to something more mundane, like legendaries representing north and south or east and west.

hmmm... speaking of a ??? type pokemon, Zoroark is a master of illusion and transform into a lot of different pokemon for all we know Zoroark could actually be a ??? type pokemon!
that would be awesome.

Whoah... What's with the bump?

And we should have a ???-type Pokémon already. *Glares at Unown*

And what would be it's weakness? !!! type?

How about a water+fire+electric Pokemon!

I like the idea of Life/Death
I want a like, REALLY REALLY hardcore psychic/death type or something LOL
That has a story behind it.. like it was actually KILLED a long time ago because it was so evil, and then brought back accidentally by magic or something. high SP ATK & ATK
YES PLEASE ><

And then the opposite.. something that was created to fight it, like a GOOD(light) machine or something.. Really high SP DEF & DEF

PLEASE <3

I want a messiah.

With the revelation of the game names, we probably have a better idea of what the legendaries could represent. Probably something obviously correlated with shadows and light. Night and Day?

I hope it isn't something lame like friendship and love or something.

Maybe they will not make God Pokémon and the new region's people will still worship Arceus.

There are still a lot of different cultures and myths that Nintendo can pull from. To me it just seems like most pokemon are based of far eastern cultures... Ninetails, Arcanine, etc. I really wanna see some serious creativity though. There is so much potential for awesomeness! I really wanna see some Russian elements and perhaps even Celtic, and Nordic influences!

I really wanna see some feathers though... and new fossils... i thought they were kinda lackluster in Pearl, and Diamond.


Feather Fossil
Spine Fossil
Fang Fossil
Tusk Fossil
Razor Fossil

the list goes on...

I don't think they really have to "top god", they can just keep on making normal legendaries... I like the life/death legendaries idea.

Perhaps this is jsut my own warped fanon, but my impression is that Arceus is creation, which is life in a nutshell. Giratina is destruction, AKA death.

I'd love to seem some legends with types that have never been done before. I actually created my own Fakemon Fighting type Great One, in fact. There is potential for any number of lesser Great Ones to be created.

There should be a legendary for each type.

I think that a bug type Great One would be a good addition to the ranks. Something based off of a butterfly or something.

And, normally I don't say anything about things like this, but sicne she is my favorite Pokemon (please bear with me) I am forced to point out that the Lunar Goddess's name is spelled C R E S S E L I A

You know what they need?
First of all, a bug type legendary. We have never had one.

and second, a Omega Pokemon. since we've got alpha, and Giratina isn't the Omega, we need a Omega.

And a 666 pokemon on the pokedex list.
XD

Or it counts, just not to you LoPun. ;P

But I seriously don't believe that the Fifth generations legendary Pokemon have to be better than God. Even though Arceus is supposed to be the God of all Pokemon. So Generation V of legendary Pokemon will certainly be interesting to see. As long as they aren't completely uncreative and aren't lame, I don't have a problem with whatever types they may be.

How about a legend that eats planets for breakfast or a legend that creates planets I just randomly came up with that idea right now

There is still a ton of other cultures they can pull from!

I would like to see a fire-water type legendary. Just a new type combination that has not been explored yet.

-Pichu

they should make a 3rd Bird you knoe, Lugia,Ho-Oh and ____

What about a Flying/Fighting legendary

However, because of Staraptor being a flying type and learning a fighting type move naturally, that may be a hint that the fifth generation will have a fighting/flying type Pokemon... but who knows?

Ok a little off topic here, but a few suggestions to Pokemon creators. Pokemon will end sooner or later. Its inevitable. But it the time its here I would LOVE to see new types and a Badger Pokemon. Oh and a Dolphin perhaps? And I think that arceus was released too early. My legendary suggestion? A Rock and Lighting type. Sounds obserd but hey, what about the movie arceus that was released? Also maybe a Fire-Rock Legend. Or Fighting-Dark! But the rock legends would have special moves as the Fighting-Dark would have the slight advantage. Perhaps Lighting Rain for one, and Asteroid Fall for the other? I would love this! Listen to me geniuses of the Pokemon world! People want a good rock type Legend!

A HUGE BEETLE/SATURNID!!!

Theres nothing to make a legend about, They Ran out of ideas

They should have some really evil fighting type, or a cow legend. That would be cool!

THERE SO MANY MORE THINGS THEY COULD DO!

Actually, now that I think about it if all else fails they'll probably just make redundant types. Think about it: You can nitpick the exact details of what Moltres and Entei command, but from a broader spectrum they're both basically the element of fire.

Keep in mind that over 500 Pokemon were made for RBGY, and obviously a good amount of them were scrapped to pave way for 151. They keep making mounds upon mounds of Pokemon for each new gen, and in the end 100-200 of them make it.

Late to the topic and most likely already said, but I find the theme in Pokémon Black and White to be hinting at the idea of an almost ying-yang scenario, which isn't far fetched considering the region this game hails from. Therfore Gamefreak is stepping away from the 'hierarchy' of legendaries, and focusing more into the depth of balance.

Personally, I think they have already introduced the legendary (Zoroark), or whatever pokémon Black version focuses on. Now most people now would say 'but it evolves'. However, my interpretation is that evolution doesn't mean it cannot be a legendary. Originally, we thought legendaries could not breed, but we have seen otherwise with Rotom and Manaphy (though Phione isn't Manaphy, it's still offspring).

Think about it.. Why do they even have to top the other legendaries?

Making a Pokemon stronger than Arceus would be ridiculous. Arceus is so over-powered it's not even funny. He has a base state of 720 while the Pokemon underneath him has 680. That's a pretty big gap. They should fill the gap and just keep Arceus as is.

Adding another 720 base stat would be weird, and on par with God it would also feel really awkward. Best they don't and just add more 680s. I'm personally hoping for more classical physicals like rock, fighting, poison and bug. We don't have any bugs in legends. Maybe among the event pokemon at least?

Remember the days of Mewtwo?
Did other Legendaries top him? No.
So why need to top Arceus? There is no point in topping God.
I just want to see sexy 5th Generation Legendaries.

Or, we could be seeing the rise of a Pokemon 'triforce' per-se. Arceus created the worlds, Mew 'created' the Pokemon, and maybe the next gen we will see the emergence of something that has 'created' the willpower or something like that. I kid, I kid, or do I... ... ...

Whatever, I'm out.

Created the willpower?
