Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

Names of legendaries confirmed: Xerneas and Yveltal

Figures they'd have stupid names to go along with their stupid appearances (though I'll probably pick up one of the games anyway, since I don't want to miss out on finally having 3D models in a standard game).
Seel and Muk are stupid, these two designs are pretty good.
 
Honestly, I'm a bit wary of the the look of the 3D Overworld thing, I'll have to get used to it, but Pokemon XD & Coliseum has areas that you could explore and they weren't very fun to do so.

I guess I'll just miss sprites being used, but I'll get over it eventually.

Also, I like the legendaries and the starters, I think they all look above average.
 
Meh, I think Xerneas's horns look outright ridiculous if you ask me
 
The Y legendary looks fine though. It's just the ludicrous-looking gigantic horns that make the X guy look ridiculous.

Every Pokemon has its fair share of oddities though.
Yeah, but you can be odd in a cool way or odd in a ridiculous way or odd in a lame way.

Odd in a cool way is Magnezone (in my opinion). Odd in a ridiculous way is Xerneas. Odd in a lame way is Kyurem.
 
So, I noticed this little thing.
In the coordinate plane the Y is vertical (up and down) and Yveltal has the ability to fly up in the sky.
While the X is horizontal (left and right) and Xerneas only seems to be able to travel on land. It's hard to explain but you probably get it.
 
What about Z? That is present in both of these creatures traits.

Probably.
I'm starting to think they may be more based on the XYZ coordinate plane to promote or go along with the new 3D features.
 
It's both, but the chromosome thing is the main inspiration because, again, the DNA helix is in the Japanese titles.
