* In the Generation V games, Zekrom, Reshiram and Kyurem use different variations of the same battle theme. In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], however, Zekrom's version (featuring electric sound effects) is used for all three Pokémon.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Zekrom and its counterpart {{p|Reshiram}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Zekrom's Japanese species: the Black Yin Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Zekrom was designed to have a tougher and more masculine design to contrast to Reshiram's light, airy, feminine design. While the black design matches Zekrom's yin species names (yin being characterized by dark), its masculine design contrasts with yin (yin being characterized as feminine). Zekrom's tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Appearance-wise, it somewhat resembles a midsized to large theropod dinosaur, such as ''{{wp|Allosaurus}}'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'', and a {{wp|European dragon}}. The crest on its head is based on a thundercloud. The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also some resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth, and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Zekrom can be taken to resemble {{wp|Angra Mainyu}}, as opposed to Reshiram resembling {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, although Zekrom is not evil; rather it is an equally powerful opposing legendary Pokémon.
