"Perfect" Kyurem - rebirth of the Original Dragon | Page 21

if all three were to combind that would mean it would be a quad type, fire, ice, electric, and dragon or it could just be a dragon/ice or dragon/fire or dragon/electric.:sweatlol:

Anyways, the actual reason I'm posting here is because there's something from this thread that has always called my attention: people have likened how the OD would work to Dragon Ball Z (an analogy I like, being a DB nerd), but everybody relates it to Cell (as in, Kyurem absorbing the other two dragons just like Cell needs to absorb the other two androids to be 'perfect'), but I think that conception is wrong and that it actually works in a different way: in DBZ, Cell has to absorb the other Androids because he's the one seeking to be perfect, Cell is somehow the basis to the perfect android, whereas Kyurem is NOT the basis for the OD, but the opposite: he's the leftovers (the empty shell, the vessel, are the terms used here). BW1 clearly explain that the basis to the OD are Reshiram and Zekrom, Kyurem was created because of the split, as some kind of weird side effect, (which can explain why Kyurem appeared within the Giant Chasm when the other two dragons appeared together at the Dragonspiral Tower). That's why the DNA Splicers allow Kyurem to absorb only one of the other dragons, but not the two: Kyurem is not the original dragon, and thus, it can't absorb the other two simultaneously, just one at a time. Kyurem itself wouldn't resist it, since it is weaker than the other two because of its 'leftover-y' nature. Even if it could ever absorb both dragons, I think the result would NOT be the OD, but something else: Kyurem might have been part of the OD, but as its vessel, not as its conscience, whereas in BW2 we saw that when Kyurem absorbs another dragon, Kyurem stays as the dominant conscience, inconsistant to its origins as a vessel for the OD.

Instead of Cell, OD and its formes and splits mirror Majin Buu: in Buu's case, he also splits himself into several entities - Fat Buu, Thin Buu, Super Buu and Kid Buu, the latter being the original and pure Majin Buu. Fat Buu and Thin Buu can exist as separate beings (just like Reshiram and Zekrom) or together, but even when they re-fuse, the resultant fused form depends on who absobs who, the 'absorber' being the one whose conscience dominates the fused Majin (although the absorbed one still has limited control over its absorber, not unlike N's dragon still being recognizable within B/W Kyurem), so, to become perfect, pure, Majin Buu, certain requirements had to be met when the Buu's fuse together. In a similar fashion, in order for the OD to be restored to its former self, it's not only important that the three Dragons fuse together, but that they fuse in a certain, specific way, and Kyurem absorbing them is certainly NOT that correct way.

Since Kyuremm is just an empty shell, it doesn't share the OD's conscience, which Reshiram and Zekron do share. Thus, Kyurem needs not to be the dominant Pokémon in the fusion process. My theory is that for the OD to be restored, Reshiram and Zekrom need to fuse naturally (instead of via a technological device such as the DNA Splicers), and then, the resulting dragon would need to fuse with, or absorb, Kyurem. I think that unlike the other two, Kyurem can be merely absorbed because since Kyurem is just an empty shell, it doesn't share the OD's mind (i.e. it's conscience and memories); actually, given that Kyurem is only the leftovers created from the split, it might not even be needed at all; after all, we are told several times that the Original Dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, not into Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem; all we know is that Kyurem appeared at the same time the other two split, but not that it was part of the OD, for all we know, it might be just the scraps, and like a Ninjask (the original nincada Pokémon) doesn't need its Shedinja to exist, it is possible that actually there is no need for Kyurem to fuse with the other two to restore the original dragon, like a placenta when a baby is born: the placenta is a product of the birth, but it is not part of the baby nor the mother, and none of them need it to live. Following this line of thought, Kyurem wasn't even part of the OD, it just was created as a side efect of the split process (like the placenta and the Shedinja). For all we know, Kyurem is nothing but living debris. But I'll give Kyurem the benefit of doubt and still include it in the restored OD (after all, it is the boundary Pokémon, it might be needed to 'contain' the resulting R&Z fusion), just that the dominant Pokémon must be 'Reshikrom' (that is, the resultant Reshiram and Zekrom together), not Kyurem like it was in BW2.

So far, my conclusions about Kyurem and the Original Dragon are as follows:

1) Perfect Kyurem does not exist, and if it exists, it is definitely not the Original Dragon.
2) In consequence, the Original Dragon is not a Kyurem forme, but a separate species that we're still yet to know (i.e. a different Pokédex number); hopefully it appears in a future game.
3) For the OD to be restored, Reshiram and Zekrom need to fuse together, not be absorbed. Kyurem might or might not be needed.

Regarding Genesect's original forme, I think that, just like in Kyurem's case, if we ever get it, it won't be a forme, but a separate Pokémon altogether. Think of Mew and Mewtwo: just like Genesect, Mewtwo is an artificially altered Pokémon,a nd since there are lots of differences between them, Mewtwo is a separate species, instead of a different Mew forme. Similar to this, Genesect was artificially created from the genes of another Pokémon, but was altered in the process and as a result, the artifical Pokémon doesn't resemble its original Pokémon much (Mewtwo was made bigger, stronger and more agressive; Genesect was covered in steel and a cannon was put on its back, that's enough to distinguish itself from the Pokémon it derives from). If we ever get to know the unaltered Genesect, it will undoubtedly be a different species, with a different name and a different Pokédex number (and most probably also different BST and movepool), just like Mew and Mewtwo are separated Pokémon despite one being an altered from of the other.
