Post by awsomegoof on March 19th 2011, 8:04 pm

I've been thinking about it for a while now but does anybody think that pokemon black and white sounds racist? Neutral

Well, if you chose White, you get a black Legendary, and if you chose Black, you get a white Legendary. It's impossible to be racist. But in all seriousness, there is a meaning behind the coloration.

Actually, they represent yin and yang. Not that I know all that much about Asian culture and symbology and whatnot, but...

In layman's terms, Zekrom is the black dot in the white swirl.

Reshiram is the white dot in the black swirl.

Something, something, balance, something, something.

The colors are all about symbolizing something relating to the games, just like the past versions have been. In this case, like it's been stated, it matches the colors of the two legendary pokemon Zekrom and Reshiram.
Spoiler:
What Houndoomed said especially makes sense considering certain aspects of, and points during, the story, as well as particular details regarding the origins of the two pokemon.

As for me, I don't think they even sound racist at all because I don't look at things like that.

People are so weird. Like Silver had said, they represent ying and yang, which is the first thing I thought of when I heard them. I wasn't too excited when I heard about some of the pokemon they used to advertise the new generation, but... I digress. I got white for Zekrom. :3 So if anyone is interested at some point to trade, then trade back to fill in the pokedex, lemme know.
