The Legendary Pokemon for upcoming Pokemon X and Y games for the Nintendo 3DS were also revealed during Nintendo’s Pokemon Direct conference.
(Gaming, Pokemon X, Pokemon Y)
The Deer (X), Eagle (Y), and Dragon (Z) of Yggdrasil. We have the deer, and a vulture / egale. Missing the dragon (Maybe each of it's wings look like a Z, since the eagle is shaped like a Y, and the Deer has "X" for eyes).
They also tie in the the generations that play Pokemon. Generation X (1960's - 1980's), Generation Y (1980's - 2000), and the new Generation Z (2000 - 2020).
Finally they also represent a 3D plane, X-axis (X dimension), Y-axis (Y dimension), and Z-axis (Z dimension) which also ties in to the 3DS aka a 3D gaming platform.
No matter how many arguments you find, the name continues to be ridiculous. The first thing I thought when I heard X and Y was the human chromossomes lol
But it's obvious how the 3rd game will be called Z lol and that would just resemble the XYZ monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh as well.

These ones look oddly familiar and look a lot like the creatures you see in the film Avatar. If you know Avatar you'll get what I mean.

Can't wait to see more.
