The stone goes into its mouth. Thus it eats them

No...it doesn't...it gets absorbed by its "wings," as seen here:

Oh me and my imagination affecting my memory. My bad

[Endolise]

This is total speculation, but an idea just came to me in regards to how Ghetsis was controlling Kyurem.

If you check Ghetsis' cane after defeating him, the dialogue (technically, another instance of the player character's thoughts appearing on-screen) says "It's the cane that Ghetsis was holding. Was he controlling Kyurem with it?" Additionally, when you first encounter Colress on the Frigate, he states that he was "asked by an acquaintance to help with his research." Obviously, the acquaintance was Ghetsis and that research probably concerned Kyurem. Now what that does this all matter?

The Colress Machine.

It's merely a prototype, but even then, it's capable of energizing nearby Pokemon. It's also given to you by Colress some time prior to Team Plasma's invasion of the Giant Chasm, so chances are, Colress didn't need it anymore.

Now, what if Ghetsis' cane is the final result of the Colress Machine technology? Capable of not only awakening a Pokemon's latent power, but controlling it as well? It makes sense; Colress gave you the old Colress MCHN because he had already perfected the technology and implemented it into Ghetsis' cane. Also, Kyurem had been on Team Plasma's ship this whole time, right next to Colress' chamber, so he would have had no problem accessing it for experimentation. Considering all of these facts, I suggest that Colress constructed Ghetsis' cane and imbued it with the perfected "latent energy" technology, which gave Ghetsis the ability to awaken and control Kyurem's power.

As an added bonus, this all ties in to the "how to bring out a Pokemon's true power" theme of BW2, which I felt could have been a lot more overtly significant than it was.

It's possible. Too bad we'll never find out

[Bolt the Cat]

That would mean Black City/White Forest would also be accessible. Idk that area would seem kind of useless for the main adventure

Black City/White Forest should've had more to do anyway.

Excellent theory, that makes sense of so much in the storyline. I wonder why Ghetsis left his cane behind, though.

Thanks; Didn't he jam it into the ground before he got removed by the Triad? Or am I misremembering?

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

Black City/White Forest should've had more to do anyway.

Including the entire Eastern Unova would make the game way more longer than it already is. Plus it's kind of out of the way of things unless they connected Marlon's city (I forget the name and I'm too lazy to look it up) to the route with the P2 lab instead

Why would they give you access to all of Southeast Unova before you beat the game? I was merely suggesting making Black City/White Forest, Rt. 15, and Marvellous Bridge accessible.

I said eastern Unova, not southeast Unova

[Wishing Star]

Perhaps a legendary to capture after you beat all ten levels of the area that corresponds to your version or something? (:

Well then why did you bring up P2 Laboratory? It's nowhere near Black City/White Forest.

Nah, even if they did allow access to Black City/White Forest, I don't think they'd allow access to Black Tower/White Treehollow. I was thinking more along the lines of having more to do in the actual city.

Oh, I didn't mean that the player would be able to capture the legendary over the course in the game. I agree that there should've been some stuff to do in Black City and White Forest (akin to what both you and I said beforehand on the subject).

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

It's in the route between Marvelous Bridge and Black City/White forest...

edit: Oh durr, I meant the Poketransfer lab.

[LightSuicune]

Also, Kyurem had been on Team Plasma's ship this whole time

What do you mean by this?

In BW1 the player catches Kyurem but then does this mean TP had taken it from him/her? Or does it not matter since Kyurem wasnt supposed to be known to be part of the tao trio then?

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

Once the credits role in BW1, everything else is no longer cannon as well as catching the musketeers. That's my theory.

[Bolt the Cat]

Oh. Well they could just close the Poketransfer Lab until post game, then. But anyway, they should have opened up Rt. 15 and Black City/White Forest by the time you arrive in Undella, then at least you'd have an optional area to visit and some more Pokemon to capture (like Pupitar).

Or they could have that route connect to Himau instead of Undella. Besides, having an optional route in the main game would be weird

No it wouldn't. They've done it many times before. What about Kanto Rt. 11, Rt. 12-15/Rt. 16-18, Rt. 47-48, Rt. 103, Rt. 115, Rt. 123, Rt. 125, Rt. 129-134, Rt. 219-221, Rt. 211E/W, Rt. 212N, Rt. 212S, Unova Rt. 16, Rt. 14 (BW2) and Rt. 9 (BW2)? They need to be making more optional routes, not less.

I am honestly too lazy to look up what all those routes are.

Doesn't this fallacy apply to every third version? You could catch Rayquaza in R/S, and Giratina in D/P...
