What Types should B-Kyurem and W-Kyurem be? | Page 4

I think I figured a neat little way to work out Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. In Black 2, Black Kyurem can have its "Freeze Shock" move (if it is known) turned into or "read as" (perhaps that only in battle) Bolt Strike, while in White 2, White Kyurem can have its Ice Burn turned into or read as "Blue Flare."

This would prevent Kyurem (if traded over to another game) from obtaining Fire, Ice, and Electric moves on all sets (absent Hidden Power, of course), and would only give Kyurem the ability to gain one other attack type, and only in the appropriate form--i.e., Kyurem would be much like Rotom (if not also somewhat like Gen 3 Deoxys, with its version-differing forms). Kyurem would, meanwhile, be capable of knowing both special Ice moves in its unaltered form, and could be traded over to any of the other games without anything being out of the ordinary.

This working would be good for Black 2, WHite 2, and all games hence.

That is, again, the ideal way I'd deal with the Ice moves--one of my goals (that isn't necessarily shared by the designers) being the gifting to Kyurem of one of the special moves of the Yin-Yang Dragons (now that I think about it, the Fusion moves would be most appropriate for Kyurem...), and another being the keeping of both Kyurem forms distinct (this presumably being shared by the designers). Assuming that Kyurem can learn the Ice moves in the new games, Kyurem will either be capable of learning just one of the two Ice moves (perhaps the ingame Kyurem you encounter alone can be taught the one move [i.e., an id-lock], or the move is taught and kept only when in form [a la Rotom]), or both, no matter how difficult is is to learn either of the moves (e.g., Kyurem could have to linger in both games to obtain both moves, it only picking up Ice Burn in White 2, and Freeze Shock in Black 2).

Right now I'm just assuming both Kyurem forms will be Dragon/Ice, so forgive me if I went off topic. I just wanted to talk about Kyurem in general: I do have potential plotlines for it drawn out (link to be soon provided), potential methods for form change (link to be soon provided), and ability (posted earlier in thread) already thought out. As to what stats the Kyurem fusions may have, well, I have some ideas already as well, but they can't be yet found.
