Yeah, yeah, I know about the DNA strands. Obviously there can't possibly be a double meaning in the name. That convention is unheard of in Pokemon!
Except that one of those two meanings only makes sense with a Pokemon Z, and the other only makes sense without a Pokemon Z. Not really. Many animals do have a Z chromosome. Humans don't, but since Pokémon are based on animals, Z version would make sense with both meanings. However, I don't care. I'm perfectly content with waiting until they announce what's going on. Speculation is almost always wrong, so I don't bother. --- "Power of mind is infinite, while brawn is limited." Koichi Tohei Official Chespin of the Pokemon X board. |

It makes a lot of sense. Pokemon, starting with X and Y, is in 3D. X, Y, and Z are the 3 dimensions that make '3D'. |

"Gray" would not make sense. Reshiram/Zekrom are based on the Taoist concept of Yin-Yang duality, logically to make a '3rd' version we have to get in between that. Except we can't without going to the highest level, Wuji. Granted that's what Kyurem is, but yeah.
Granted, I didn't exactly predict a B/W 2 either. But that's besides the point. --- -User Name Origin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO_5esMq2kE#t=56s "Japanese Wii U. American Wii U. The future is yours, Xenoblade U." |
