Alternate Form Discovered For Pokémon Black/White’s Third Legendary Monster

Alternate Form Discovered For Pokémon Black/Whites Third Legendary Monster

Pokémon fan site, Pokébeach, have invested a month of research into Pokémon Black/White’s code,  and discovered a placeholder for an alternate form of the legendary Pokémon, Kyurem, who is the third member of the trio formed along with Black/White’s other two legendaries, Reshiram and Zekrom.

 

We don’t know what this second form looks like or what its abilities are; just that it exists, and that it will likely be used in the future. You can view a detailed explanation of how this second form was discovered at the link above.

 

The actual point of interest is that Pokébeach point out that Rotom, Shaymin, and Giratina, too, had placeholders for new forms in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl’s code, long before Pokémon Platinum was released.

      Only saw it yesterday! It’s a bit old, but I figured if we hadn’t seen it, there would be a lot of other people that missed it, too.

      • http://www.cubiz.co.cc/ Chris Thomas

        Yah I know. I am sorry if how I worded that seemed… bad. It was more a joking manner than anything serious. I love you guys and your site. It has provided me plenty of good info. Sorry again.

          Nono, it’s fine! I know you weren’t trying to sound mean and I didn’t think that at all. :)

        Thank you Ishaan. I only read Siliconera for the most part, so I appreciate all the news you guys give us, be it old or new. Keep up the great work. :)

    Kind of wish there was more in code, something to make the third version vastly different than how they normally have them.

    Does this really surprise anyone?

    Although I am really curious as to what it’s alt form will look like, considering the backstory for Kyurem.

  • elroid

    good to see this news, it makes me feel a little better for deciding to wait for “gray” to be announced

  • Spirit Macardi

    I’m still surprised they haven’t announced the inevitable third entry to Black and White yet. Unless the code is being re-written because they want it to be a 3DS game, I don’t see what the wait is for.

    Come to think of it, many of the super-legendaries such as Keldeo, Meloetta, and Genesect haven’t even been distributed yet.

      No hard feeling guy’s but…

      Beside from the trio,(Zekrom,Reshiram and Kyurem)the other legendary pokemon from B&W looks like retard…..

      • Suicunesol

        Wut? Come on, maybe not Keldeo but Genesect and Meloetta are pretty cool looking!

      • OverlordZetta

        To each their own. I’m pretty fond of them, whereas Moltres looks like a rubber chicken to me.

    • Draparde

      yeah, i had Planned to wait until they distributed Meloetta to get into the game and whatnot, since she’s my favorite legendary…but….its hard to do that when they don’t give them out lol XD 

      i wouldn’t be surprised if the new pokemon was for the 3DS though.

      • Spirit Macardi

        It’d certainly be a ballsy move to upgrade the third entry to a 3DS title. It’d also be pretty smart, since the Poke’Mon games are some of the biggest system-selling titles. Sales of the 3DS would no doubt see a surge from it.

    • Suicunesol

      Distributed? They haven’t even been announced. :o

      They’re usually the Pokemon used to fill the gaps between generations. To keep people’s interest during the long wait. I imagine Genesect will be a few years yet.

      • Spirit Macardi

        Yeah, but they have their own articles on Bulbapedia detailing everything from their Poke’Dex entries to their movesets. So clearly they can’t be considered a secret at this point.

        • Draparde

          You can even get Genesect and Meloetta (and of course anything else) using action replay. (though you can’t get the items associated with the two)

  • CrimsonalCore

    So, there’ll be a possibility for Pokemon Gra/ey. o.o

    Sound fantastic~ I always wonder what Kyurem’s alt form look like since I have a gut feeling that it DEFINITELY have its own Alt. owo

    Because from the look of it, he seem to be incomplete to me. Imagine his complete form~<3

  • pockystix

    I’d figured as much

    it’s dex entry stated that that form from B/W was basically a shell of the real deal

    • http://twitter.com/goodjobKebo Kebo Martin

      dude had a very high SP. Atk, what more if it was transformed?

      • theworldofnoboundries

        They change it into very high Attack? lol

      • OverlordZetta

        Its stats were actually pretty bad for its typing as I recall.

  • AaqibRawat

    Kyurem is cool

    i wonder what the new form is ?

  • Elemiel

    Hyped yet again! Third version incoming?

  • http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/members/55321.html FinalArcadia

    I thought Giratina had the coolest alternate form in the series yet, so I hope this one impresses me even more!

  • Hinataharem

    Does that mean we now get a use for Ice Burn and Freeze Shock?

  • IceRomancer

    I was waiting for the third version of the new generation of Pokemon! Pokemon grey I’m ready! :D

  • takopako

    awesome!!! yay!!! XD

  • theworldofnoboundries

    So…. does this mean Poke Gray??? lol

    • MrRobbyM

      Possibilities:

      -Gray
      -Transparent
      -Clear
      -Off-White
      -Rainbow?
      -Windex

      But seriously, it’s probably Gray or Prism. To which I say, MOON PRISM POWEEEEERRRR!!!!

      • theworldofnoboundries

        With the power of MOON I PUNISH U!!! lol

  • XerosBeat

    Not surprised. But I am curious to see what it looks like in its other form.

  • PrinceHeir

    woah O_______O

  • Bio_liquid

    Kyurem= shell of  former self

     Zekrom + Reshiram = Kyurem’s Complete Form

    Can’t wait

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/D2BWSEQNKSHAMFEPHBVFJ3KYJI Jessica

    I can see Kyurem becoming sort of more mobile like, just like origin. He has the wings and head type for the dynamic swiftness. Speed would be a huge boost on his power as far as I can see.

  • RaikageV

    Wasn’t that clear already (because it will be important for the next movie)?
    If I read that a new Pokémon form was “discovered” I want to see a picture.

  • http://www.youtube.com/B4ULoveShine Tim_at_where

    I just hope Kyurem would finally have a Flying-type move to cover its Fighting-type weakness; hopefully, it’s Drill Peck.

    I saw this comming, but I wonder how his alt form looks like.

    But hell, when are they going to announce Gray? I liked the idea of the Pokemon + Nibunaga’s Ambition crossover, but we don’t live with spin-offs. Plus, I have the bad feeling that Gray might be for 3DS, and I don’t want a 3DS yet, I’m saving for a japanese one.
