For what conceivable reason is the third legendary based

Heavenly bodies trio maybe?
War themed third legendary confirmed?

>>26555487
It's probably gonna be war themed. Maybe a new legendary fighting type?

The legendaries this gen are probably all based on celestial bodies and constellations and shit.
Jupiter Pokemon will be the best.
I hope we get a rotom-clone that turns into different constellations.

If Gen 7 follows the path Gen 6 took, who cares? We're just gonna drum up a bunch of importance to it only to not give it a game after 6 months of hyping it up

>>26555521
The "shadow" part seems to suggest it will be a Fighting/Ghost or Fighting/Dark type. Assuming the Fighting type is a given that is, which I think it is.

Or, maybe the "shadow" comes from the fact that is causes eclipses?

>>26555570
Yeah, I think it will have something to do with eclipses, seems to be the best way to tie it together with the Sun and Moon. Sure Mars doesn't create eclipses on Earth but gf probably doesn't give a shit about that.

>>26555621
Watch as we get Sun, Moon, and Eclipse versions of Kyurem

Humans have been pretty interested in Mars for a while now.

>>26555645
Oh shit, didn't Kyurem come from space? I wonder if they'll do anything with it. I'd love to see the Original Dragon.

If they're going with a space theme I want a Ghost/Fighting Pokemon based off Stars (or constellations if that's too close to Sunlion).

We should have a fire/ice Pokemon based on io(jupiters moon that has volcanos, yet it's freezing)

>>26555621
It's probably not Mar as in Mars, but Mar as in spanish for sea. The other legendaries have spanish in their name.
It's probably a sea serpent that causes eclipses.

I can't think of any reason that mars would be the inspiration for the last member of the trio besides the "Mar" in its name.

An eclipse theme seems much more likely

>>26555508
If that's the case, and if the idea is that the "shadow" in Marshadow is a reference to an eclipse, then why not have the third legendary be a personified Earth which is crucial to the cause of eclipses? Why use a random planet like Mars which has absolutely nothing to do with the Sun and Earth's moon?

Lunar eclipse dyes the moon red like Mars.

Most prominent celestial body from humanity's perspective after the sun and moon.

Shit, I meant to make that a thread. I'll just leave this here for your amusement then

>>26555537
God I really want all of this to be true. So far they've been shit at keeping a consistent theme through legendaries, if they all keep the space theme I'll be so happy

There's no way that "marshadow" will be the 3rd legendary

Because the moon is clouds

Here is the trademark list for pokemon that not were trademarked by GF. Including Mega Evolution. Volcanion, Diancie more gen 6 Pokemon the new Starters, Solgaleo, Lunaala and Marshadow

>>26555487
Because it goes with the theme the legends are based on.

Solgaleo and Lunaala are based off the Balinese myths Barong and Rangda. Barong is the white-haired lion of light, whose fur is adorned with precious stones and gilded mirrors to reflect the sun's rays against his enemies. He fights Rangda, the witch queen of the demons, who take the form of flying vampires missing their lower extremities who come at night to steal men's lives. Then there's Batara Kala the god of the underworld, he causes eclipses by trying to eat the sun or the moon.

You could just say that Marshadow sounded way more clever than the other two.

Why was Suicune the third legend in Gen 2 instead of shoehorning something in for Bronze?

>>26560697
>>26561152
>they forgot about Uranus
It could have easily been "Venushadow" or "Uranushadow."

>>26561152
My dick says hi to uranus

>>26561204
To be fair, those sound like shit compared to marshadow. And it's a joke

>>26561213
I know they sound like shit. I was sarcasming.

>>26555814
I had this idea that they were probably going to make a 3rd legendary based on Ophiuchus (serpent been held apart by a man, 13th Zodiac) 1 which would 100% match Mar for serpent.

But idk I guess mars can sometimes be between the sun and the moon? Or something like that?

Couldn't it be Marsh-adow?
