I've noticed a couple Arceus discussions have emerged lately, and a couple things have been bugging me. I felt like making a forum about it, but I figured it'd be a bit more appropriate as a blog.
Anyway, here are my views on the whole Arceus debate.

Arceus is the creator of the universe:
No. Though this is possible, the canon specifically says, and I quote the HG/SS pokédex word for word,

"According to the legends of Sinnoh, this Pokémon emerged from an egg and shaped all there is in this world."

And as we all have learned from mythology, the greek and roman gods are all very much real, because of course.. they're legends. Legends are real! And since we know that those legends of Zeus and Poseidon are all very much real, it must also be true that the legends in Sinnoh (emphasis on how it states the legends of Sinnoh) are true! Right? Therefore, Arceus must have created all there is in the world.

Nothing can top Arceus:
Though I'll agree, I don't want anything to top Arceus in terms of base stat total, that doesn't mean something has to top it. They went two entire generations without topping Mewtwo. I saw mentioned that maybe they could have a counterpart to Arceus, perhaps an opposite. That could be interesting. Considering Arceus' multitype ability, I'm not sure how that could be done, but it certainly could be interesting (perhaps the first ???-type Pokémon?). Being believed by (potentially ancient) Sinnoh myth to be the creator of the Pokémon world, perhaps the new region in Black and White could have their own god mythology, with an equal base stat total of 720. Though personally I'm hoping they won't do that, at least for a while, and keep the toughest legendary at 680, assuming the mechanics aren't significantly changed (which I doubt). ]]> derian http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/29039/arceus-11420/ http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/29039/gen-5-pok%C3%A9mon-wants-speculation-11219/ Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:41:31 GMT Welll I kinda feel like making a list of what I new Pokémon I want there to be or think there could be. These aren't all my ideas of course.. most things have probably been suggested by now. I'm not going to go into prevos or evos of preexisting pokemon.

Will 'O Wisp: Not Gastly. Gastly is somewhat Will 'O Wisp based, but not entirely. This would be Fire/Ghost or maybe Ice/Ghost. Would be cool, I think.

Centipede or Millipede: As far as I know there isn't one yet. Weedle is NOT either of these things. Not really. They've done scorpions... logical progression.

Dolphin: That would just be sweet. High Sp Atk and Sp Def, and it could learn Water Pulse and Bounce and stuff. Maybe it could be a one-stage Pokémon since those are starting to be pretty rare?

True Lion: None of this Luxray shit. Nothing against Luxray, but we need a true lion. Fire would be cool, we definitely need more of those. I could totally see it being a starter too.

Panther: Normal or Dark maybe? Dark would be the logical choice but it'd actually be interesting I think if it wasn't dark.

Gargoyle: That would be awesome. Rock of course! High Defense and moderate attack. I'm having trouble imagining a Gargoyle that looks like a Pokémon though.

Lego man: No I don't really want that, but it'd be hilarious xD

Capybara: Could be the early rodent of the game. Maybe I got the name wrong...

Opossom: Is there one already that I'm overlooking? If not there should be one.

Sea Snake: Water/Poison, not much else to say. It could evolve into some sort of sea monster like a sea dragon or something. First Poison/Dragon maybe? Or just Water/Dragon.

Amoeba: I'm not sure how that could be a Pokémon, but there's a legendary based on DNA... so who knows?

Tree: Like... a regular tree. There's already a tropical tree (sorta), coconut tree, and snow-covered pine tree. But this could be an Oak or something and evolve into a Redwood. high Defense and very high HP I would think.

Polar Bear: Like Dolphins, this appears to be a popular one. And I'd like to see one too! Would be Ice type, of course.

Gazelle: Would go along nicely with the other quadruped normal types. ]]> derian http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/blogs/29039/gen-5-pok%C3%A9mon-wants-speculation-11219/
