Yup, well in games. Misty's no longer in the group in the anime.

So there's been speculation about the theme of this generation. I believe all generations since Generation II has had one or two themes. For instance, Gen II tackles tradition and modernity, Gen III tackles earth, sky and sea, Gen IV tackles time, space and antimatter, and Gen V tackles Yin, Yang and the absence of balance.
We know Gen VI is going to handle DNA and genetics somehow, due to the double helixes in the Japanese logos and the fact that X and Y reference chromosomes. There are other ways the story might go. Some have speculated that the DNA references life (and possibly death, if Nintendo is brave enough), and that the overall theme might be a reference to the Nordic Yggdrasil, Tree of Life. How have they come to this hypothesis? According to Wikipedia, there are three types of creatures that live in Yggdrasil: Quote:
Creatures live within Yggdrasil, including the wyrm (dragon) NÃ*ðhöggr, an unnamed eagle, and the stags Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór
Yveltal looks very much like an eagle, while Xerneas resembles a stag. That's two down, leaving a third (the dragon), enough to form a trio for three games. It also allows the game to keep its DNA and life theme since Yggdrasil is considered the root of all life. If the premise is life (and death), it may be far more exciting than the sci-fi theme I was dreading. Can't wait for Game Freak to reveal more.

Those are the legendary themes, but not the themes of the series.
Gen 2 was purity, Gen 3 was balance, Gen 4 was the universe beyond what we normally comprehend, and Gen 5 was morality.

Why? Because it's not called Sataan, Deviru, or Beelzebu or something?
It's a being that governs antimatter and rules it's own negative dimension opposite our own. It's almost literally an anti-Arceus.

Then I meant legendary themes then. I do wonder what it will be like for Gen VI.
