Well P: fertile women need two X's yes. But actually, a human that has a singe X will develop almost exactly like a woman with two X's because one of the X's is silenced in each of the cell's upon differentiation. This is to account for the fact that men only have one X, and if both X's were activated, they would make twice the proteins on the X. However, if some mishap were to occur and the zygote only had one X, she would develop as a normal woman except for infertility in her own gametes. But yes, the generic is two.
Also on a similar topic, the fact that one of the X's is silenced is the reason that Calico cats are all female. It is because the coloration of their fur is on the X chromosome, and one of the X's is silenced upon cell differentiation in each one of the skin cells and hair folic cells. This silencing is completely random, and thus the orange could be silenced or the black could be silenced in certain areas.

X'3;;; I don't know why but the way you said that just made me giggel so damn hard. Bu... yeah that's... true... X'3;; and not completely off topic but did you know that unlike the human species where the Y determines the male and if there is a single X then it is female, Drosophila (common house flies) deal in numbers of X? To the point that if it is only a singe X it will be male even without the Y and only of it has 2 X's would it be equivocally female. I found it disturbing and interesting. But... xD I don't know... And.. Somehow XYZ reminds me that it can be slang for Examine Your Zipper.. and with the fact that the third germ layer could be internal organs my first thought was like... a dick or vagina or *beaten* Gawd that's terrible. *smacks brain several times over* But I just... now I just can't get it out of my head. Pokemon Y U make me thing these things?? ....Oh hey. If it's based off of France, then what if it is a reference to the XYZ Affair? It's a long shot obviously, but... yeah I suddenly remembered it from history.

MC, it's the alphabet. Also legendary pokemon =/= just stronger monsters with higher base stats. They're creatures who have direct influence over the world in some way (time and space, anyone? yeah that's a big one. The weather trio, yep I'd suck if the weather just sucked) and are not locked up in cards and whatever else they've come up with since I haven't followed YGO since like the 8th grade.
And *petsSG* :<
X'3;;; and yeah.. if it was the lining of the internal organs such as the stomach and the heart I just....
....
OH GAWD.
I got the image of this giant stomach-mon. Like... It eats everything and this is somehow intertwined with the legend of world destruction. I just...
And then the image of some anatomically correct heart saying "BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF JUSTICE AND LOVE" just... I just... I have no words to describe the wtf that I get from my own brain sometimes.
And ... yeah that's true o3o. I guess my brain's gotten used to the trios over the years, yeah. I think I'd be fine if they just left it at two, but if they did anything with three that wasn't Z, I'd probably flip a table. As for Mew and Mewtwo, o3o yeah their relationship... is more 'two halves of the same coin' but not even that really fits exactly. So, yeah true... huh.
...Just remembering Lati@s suddenly and their genders and whatnot, I wonder if X and Y could refer to chromosomes too. X being the generic female one and Y being specific male. If that were even part of it, Xerneas could be the female of the pair and Yveltal could be the male. It'd be a nice touch I suppose.

....The image of all the pokemon characters as crayons is...is...cracking me up oh mah gawd. I'm dying.
Also, if it's X2 and Y2, I am requiring an R2 D2 *beaten* Technically I got my R2 kick from Code Geass-- LULUUUUUUUUUU Q_Q-- and D2 would be weird if it was Diamond 2 or something but still
As for Omega, I would want an Alpha, Beta, and Gamma first plz *shot*
And eh... it could be both. I'd just... be freaked out by what the third germ layer would look like tbh o.O;

...It would not even be close to a rip off.
That would be akin to saying that because a truck is blue and a car is blue, the truck ripped off its color from the car. Or that digimon ripped off pokemon because they both have 'mon' at the end of their names. It would be akin to saying that because space and time travel have already been done by Dr. Who, anyone else doing it in any variety of different manners are direct rip offs that includes Palkia and Dialga.
Using a base idea, especially where letters and names are considered, isn't even close to ripping anything off. If you want to go about it that way, you could say that things sharing the same name including people are rip offs in some form or fashion. Don't bash possibility because someone did something not even remotely similar first.

...If there is a third legendary, it better damn well be Z.
X and Y could be a reference to dimensions (such as the X and Y axis in math), and if there is a third legendary, it would accordingly be Z (because for three dimensions, Z is a common representation of the third dimension).
As for the reference to biology, it's an interesting theory, but I'd prefer if it was math and dimension based more than anything else xD.

I'd love to see the wool slowly start to fade away in the evos and it gets a picnic basket at some point and is wearing a hood and.... derp... I imagined a Ridinghood shaped figure in the evo's stomach... and it just killed me.

orz... is it sad I want the Fennec to evolve into a Fossa? I get anatomically they're dissimilar but we've seen various evolutions that don't follow exact trains.

He'd never asked before, never really thought about asking considering the lifestyle he had led up to that point. However, he was mature enough to realize the finality of it. Sure there was divorce if necessary, but he didn't want that. He wanted her to stay by his side for all his life. When she finally spoke, it was enough to bring a blush and a large smile to Jack's face. She'd said yes. She had said yes! SHE SAID YES! The hug that followed after that was enough to bring a soft "Wow..." out of the purple haired man, though why he had no idea. In another moment, he was wrapping his arms around her as best he could despite the machines and various other road blocks that were trying to separate them at that moment. A brief hug was all that was given before he leaned back just a moment to stare at her face and then lean forwards again to kiss her lips. She said yes. She'd said yes. She had said yes. It was more than he could find words for-- the happiness and excitement that had flooded into his veins like a waterfall. He wanted to get up right and there and go jumping around, yet he knew his body would probably just fall over and not be able to do anything if he did that. However, she'd answered his question. She'd said yes. There was nothing to add, nothing to say. He was too happy for words, and thus they failed him. She'd said yes.
When he finally managed to get a hold of himself even just a little, Jack finally broke the kiss realizing just how short his breath had become in those few seconds. "I love you," he stated beaming at her with nothing short of raw happiness. "So much...." He wanted to say more. He wanted to tell her how she would never have a desire that wasn't fulfilled that she would be by his side always...that she meant more to him than all the world's money. However, he was sure she already knew that. She had to know... She had to know just how much it meant to him and how much he couldn't speak aloud in that very moment. She had to know what was sitting precariously on his lips in that moment. He was sure of it.

The Lapras closed her eyes and smiled gingery at Alex as she listened to him speak. Honestly she was really considering it now, especially with as gentle as the man was. After a moment, she slid her head forwards in a graceful nod. Yes, she would go with him. The baby Lapras in question watched with expectancy up until his mother confirmed that they could go, and a shrill cry of excitement almost resembling a chirp of a bird pokemon escaped from him. They were going on an adventure then!

Jayme smiles just as softly back at Justice glad that she was willing to fulfill his request when she had the time. She was really nice....really nice. Though he had really met her just a while ago now, she was comfortable to be around. Looking forwards towards the banner, Jayme found himself looking up again after that realizing that Feliciano and Miguel had disappeared somewhere in the mix of things. As Cora stated that she would need some help, the pink haired young man got up and went over to help moving things around just a little for Cora to reach them better among other simple things.
Nathan half smiled at Elayne's words before shaking his head. "If you wish to go that blame route, then we should start blaming the world while we're at it," he stated with a soft chuckle that caused Amina to smile just a little. Nathan had his own sense of humor at times, really. Haiiro resisted the urge to cringe at Nathan's laugh and just scowled a little. As the sounds of someone coming towards the room caught Nathan's ears, the redhead turned not towards the door but towards Amina who quickly scanned over the thoughts and recognized them well enough. 'The Duke and his knight' was the quiet projection Amina gave to Nathan, and that was all the redhead needed. Looking back, Nathan found that Haiiro was staring at him particularly hard. A brief smirk came to Nathan's features. This one was so harsh sometimes.
Felis found himself pulling open the door of Elayne's room before he even realized it. Unlike Miguel, Feliciano did take notice of Nathan and Amina in the room as he came inwards, and for a few seconds, he tensed confused as to how the two got in there. However, a quick reminder that Nathan came and went when he pleased, reminded Felis that he should just deal with it as it was. Blue eyes met grey ones, and for a few seconds, a soundless understanding came between the blond and redhead man. "Duke Rossi," Nathan stated aloud causing Felis to smile weakly. How many times had he corrected him now? He had been sure that he had gotten the man to call him Felis by now.
"Nathan," Felis stated after a moment. "You know better than that."
"I know," was the only reply. "I was just taking my leave." Nathan nodded causing Felis to nod as well. Taking hold of Amina's hand, Nathan asked Amina briefly, and she understood quickly teleporting them away.
Haiiro's eyes had watched verything, yet for some reason whether it was the headache that was starting to work itself in the back of his head or what, he found him processing it slower than before. The medication he had been given might have had something to do with it too. "Felis, Miguel," he mumbled after a moment.

Sure enough, Alex seemed to know where he was going as he led off towards the pokemon center. As the pair walked, a few pokemon seemed to be coming out from here and there. A pair of Zigzagoon slipped out from a hidden crevice somewhere and went jogging by rather quickly before climbing up and disappearing into what appeared to be a large tree capable of resisting the cold. A Pidove glided overhead and seemed to be headed towards a building not too far off.

High up in the frigid air, a lone Delibird could be seen grazing the skies with ease as he made his place somewhere farther on. As for any other pokemon on the land, there seemed to be none in the immediate vicinity that were in eye sight anyways. Farther off, a Poochyena could be seen hopping through the snow as he searched for some sort of food oblivious to the fighting that had gone.

He had no idea what to say back to that. He had nearly destroyed himself, and she had fished him back out. She was by his side and was saying that they would get through everything together. He had no words, no words to defend himself with or otherwise. For a short time all he could do was sit there and stare at her. However, after a few seconds, he shifted sideways a little, brought his free hand up, and set it to the side of her face. "Then never leave my side..." he whispered more begging than anything. "Even... if I say I'll go alone.. or something.. never leave me alone..." the purple haired man continued on. "I....love you so much....you... pieced me back together... always piece me back together...." his voice shook, and tears were quickly coming to BJ's eyes though why he had no idea. Some extreme courage suddenly jumped into BJ's bones, and a will that he hadn't had before was ruling now. "I... know I don't have a ring yet but.......Victoria...w-will you marry me?" he whispered.

The younger Lapras grinned as he knocked into the human and succeeded in tackling him down. After a moment, he drove his head into the young man's shoulder 'purring deep in his throat. At Alex's words, he blinked a moment before giving a little nod. Sure he'd warn him next time... maybe. The scratch under the chin elicited another purr of sorts, and one could have thought the large water type was some sort of cat. After a moment, he leaned forwards and licked Alex on the cheek happily. The larger mother just smiled to herself, and at Alex's comment she allowed a soft but deep laugh to escape from her. It was actually very amusing to her, and the fact that the young man didn't retaliate assured her that he at least had a sense of humor. After a moment, she slid forwards and nudged Alex herself.

Whether he knew it or not, the mother Lapras was actually watching very carefully to see how Alex would react to the fish. She knew that humans usually didn't eat the things raw, though how she knew this she would never admit, and she was waiting to see him reject it. However, when he did in fact accept it and take a few bites before giving the rest to his pokemon, she found herself amused. He was willing to play and be decent as if she hadn't already seen that in the words exchanged but still. She was a creature of carefulness by nature, and who could blame her when her species was threatened the way it was. The younger Lapras broke out into a squeak of joy at the fact that the man had taken up the fish and leaned backwards enough to somehow manage to clap his long fins together. After a moment, he scooted forwards and ended up all but glomping Alex... which may or may not cause damage all things considered.

A soft blush and a gentle smile came to Jayme's features as Justice replied that she would would love to draw for him. The sudden instantaneous doubt that had plagued him briefly was quickly swept away, and a more excited smile came to his features as he thought over what he could ask to be drawn. He could easily say his pokemon. Those were always with him, and he could have them pose or something. However, there was so much else that he could ask for too. Some part of him was aware of the fact that he could always ask for more things when the time came, but for now he was struggling to come up with something that could really be sentimental later on... Oh! "Uhm...h-how about m-me?" he asked after a moment a weak smile coming to his features even as he asked. It was only as this escaped from his mouth that he was aware of how silly and borderline selfish it sounded, but still he persisted as best he could. As he noticed Cora from his periphrial vision, Jayme's head looked sideways at her. "Need any help?" he asked after a moment.
As Cora agreed to help with the balloons, Feliciano smiled glad to see that she was willing to help and hoping that she possibly felt better. At Miguel's words, Felis nearly jumped a little not quite sure why his heart jumped into his chest full of fright as it had. However, after a few seconds, he looked back at Miguel with a smile. "I would say we could take a few of the fished things to her," he replied nodding his head before looking down at what was indeed finished including a few of the already done up balloons. Taking some of the flowers and a balloon, Felis looked back towards Miguel for a moment waiting for the other man to follow before proceeding.
Haiiro's blood pressure was through the roof but he barely noticed it as he leered at Nathan searing with clear anger. Nathan regarded the dark haired young man with a calm demeanor back. It was clear a chord had been struck, but now the redhead was left to debate just how he wanted to address it. His head shifted a little as he listened to Elayne's words before giving a brief nod of understanding. Haiiro growled yet again, but at Elayne's hand squeeze and her words, Haiiro relaxed if only just a little. Noting this, Nathan mentally folded the general diffusion of the bomb of sorts and kept it for later. "My sincerest apologies," the redhead replied giving a bow and causing Amina to bow with him in turn. "I should have kept a better eye on him among other things... I will make sure that this is dealt with accordingly." Little did Nathan know in that moment that Lance Rossi was dealing with it in his own personal way.

The pokeball hit the Cryoganol and drew in his form before hitting the snow and dinging in capture almost too quickly for reason. It seemed that because he had fainted, he had no defense against the pokeball at all. Well that was that one could suppose.
Name: Species: Cryoganol Gender: Male Ability: Levitate Personality: A somewhat obscure combination of quiet and loud, this Cryoganol tends to enjoy keeping to himself in most circumstances and scaring people when he has to be around them. He enjoys using mist and various shrouds to obscure his form in order to unnerve those he is around before breaking into a terrifying laughter that shakes the air. That being said, outside of this, he's actually surprisingly passive. If one can get past his terrible tendencies and teach him that it is ok to be around others and to trust, he's generally a laid back sort of pokemon. He doesn't mind battle, but he'd prefer to scare others off of what he considers to be his territory. Pokemon and humans are somewhat lower on the chain of command as he sees them, and thus be only sometimes listens to his trainer when she gives out orders.
With the somewhat terrifying pokemon event resolved, a Swinub seemed to poke his nose out from the snow not too far from the young woman and the man. Sniffing about, he quickly retracted back into the snow and disappeared back into his hole once more. Other than that, there were no actual pokemon around. They must have all been scared off by the Cryoganol and the battle that had occurred.
