So looking at the titles of the new Generation 6 games, I believe that this series of games may have something to do with DNA. Part of the reason for this is because after reading a post where someone mentioned DNA, it hit me. In DNA, X and Y are chromeosones that are key parts of it. This theory may be true, but I'm not stating its 100% accurate. Plus we have Pokemon like Mewtwo, Deoxys, Genesect, and other prehistoric pokemon (by the way, I do not consider Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Genesect as legendary Pokemon).

Also look at the japanese logo for the games. Its got a DNA symbol in it.

Duh, X and Y chromosomes. Perhaps the X legendary is female and the Y one is male? Maybe the theme is gender roles! And science!
What if the prof was a tomboy or even better, a metrosexual!
"Hello! Welcome to the fabulous world of Pokémon!"

Yeah that would be offensive. But the internet would do it if Gamefreak didn't.
 
I believe the names of Pokemon X and Y are named after two the different dimensional planes, which Pokemon Z that will probably be the deluxe version of both games. There are 3 planes in a 3 dimensional figure, they are the X, Y, and Z planes. And since these are the games that are the first Pokemon games rendered in full 3D and have made a jump onto the next gen handheld console that has features that promote 3D visualization, it is highly plausible that these version games are named after the different dimensional planes in a 3 dimensional world.
 
I think it's 'spose to be based off of a X and Y axis of a table.
 
If the theme is dna the four colors of lights on x-deer's antler might represent the four nucleotide bases...maybe.
 
I'm willing to bet it's a double meaning, both the axes and the chromosomes.

What interests me is the fact that the English titles don't appear to use the word "version". Any ideas what's up with that?
 
It's about time they did that to be fair. Everyone calls the original games Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue, not Pokemon Red Version and Pokemon Blue Version.
 
I have no idea why they would drop the "version" thing, though it seems like a small detail, nobody really says the word version when referring to them all the time, I know I don't.

I think it may be a double meaning with both the axis and DNA theme, certainly interesting and I can't wait to learn more. I dont know if that's true or not, but it would be cool.

Just asking, but are you insulting my theory? I'm not trying to be mean by asking.

That's true as well, but remeber the theme from Black and White was like Yin and Yang (truth and ideals, I think this is flipped but close).

Huh? No...oh, I guess you mean the "duh". No, I'm just excitable like that.
 
If they copy the structure of Generation V, instead of Z they can name the sequels R and Θ. :D
Also would like Hoenn remakes, maybe second remakes of Red/Blue. What would be really cool for me would be in the months leading up to release Gen I-III games on the eShop Virtual Console.

How would they run out of colors and gems? They still haven't used Pink, Purple, Orange, Topaz, Opal, Jade, Garnet, Amethyst, etc.

Yeap and every single one of them is un usable: pink, purple too girly orange nothnig to pair to with still might be too bright/girly, jade is green already been done twice with leaf green and emerald and again what will it be paired with ?, topaz is not an actuall colour or gem stone its crystal in comes in diffrnet colours so which would it be ? garnet is the most useable you mention but thers nothing it goes with as a theme it cant be done as the sequel/s have to follow the same theme but their isent one, what will the sequel games be called ? Amehyst same thing as purple would be considerd too girly.

Opal is a cool multy coloured would work on its own but not side by side with anything dosent match.

my guess is they know their runnig out so just move on to the letters..
 
Wow, I hadn't seen the Japanese logos, that helix in the ン is a dead giveaway. But I'm still gonna stick to my guns here and say that it's also likely a reference to the axes of a plane, and that the third version will be Z, rounding off the gen and making it "three-dimensional" - especially given the nature of the console it's on and the complete overhaul of the game's approach to graphics. Unfortunately, they already did a weird dimension gimmick in Gen4, so it would be kind of awkward to revisit that exactly...

Gen 1: solid colors. Gen 2: metals. Gen 3: complex mineral gemstones. Gem 4: basic elemental gemstones (diamond=carbon, pearls=calcium). Gen 5: neutral colors.
Of course, some of these don't fit explicitly - like Crystal and Platinum, which really should have been flipped (Platinum would have worked much better in the metal gen, Crystal would have worked much better in Gen4), but essentially no gen has repeated a method of nomenclature explicitly, ever, and it has never really been tied down explicitly to concepts such as colors or gemstones - it just so happens that using things that have colors attached to them allow for an easy way to attain some sort of duality so that both versions can complement each other, and gemstones have colors attached to them that contrast especially well with each other. Of course, this contrast doesn't have to be related to colors at all - thus, X/Y. Those two letters have several such dualities attached to them, for example genetics, which is the popular theory at the moment, and axes on a plane, where X is horizontal and Y is vertical.
