Ah, yes, good observation indeed! I hadn't thought of that either. Very clever of GameFreak! And the Z legendary being a sea serpent of some kind makes sense too.

The bird is red and the deer is blue. So Fire and Water types maybe?

I think the Antelope might also have a Steel-typing

I personally thought it was based on chromosomes, but the Cartesian coordinate system makes a lot of sense too, with the whole being 3D and all.

Anyway though, I love them. The deer one is all about the Forest Spirit which I have nothing against cause I love that thing. Can't wait to see more of these guys, and their official art!

They match the logos very well.

This is the first time since Gen II where I really like all the mascots. (of course, still waiting on the third/ sequel mascot(s))

And the deer looks like the Prince from Bambi.

If chromosomes are involved, I wonder if the cover legends will have genders.

X's eye has a X-shaped pupil.




I wonder if it will learn X-Scissor xD

These legendary Pokémon don't look like they will be Dragon type which I'm happy about because in Generation IV and V primary pairs and third version/s have Dragon type mascots.

Personally, I don't want the bird to be fire/flying. We've had a couple of those already for legendaries, plus there's Charizard too. I'm hoping for dark/flying.

As for the antelope, I'm not really sure. Perhaps ground/steel?

So the big question - what does the Z shaped Pokemon look like?

Am I the only one who thinks Y is fuchsia rather than red? So I don't think it's Fire-type.


Actually, I bet for a pure-Flying and a pure-Ground. I's been a while since last time a mascot Legendary was single-typed... actually it happened only once (Kyogre-Groudon).

It definitely looks like it'll have a Steel type - maybe it could be Fighting/Steel like Cobalion?

I doubt it. It seems to represent the land, and it hardly looks like a grass or rock type, so ground makes the most sense to me.

The bird does look like it could pull off a Dark/Flying type, it kinda looks like a super version of Mandibuzz's evo line. The deer... Normal/Grass maybe? Psychic/Grass would also be possible but that seems too imbalanced against Dark/Flying if that were the bird's types.

I personally hope not. It would be too similar to Dialga with its body shape and color. I am hoping for Ground/Psychic. Or Grass/Psychic.
