I’ve seen the sun theory everywhere linking solgaleo to being a steel type because of the trace amount of iron contained within the sun and it being associated with a dying sun. While I think this is a fine theory, there’s one very simple theory regarding solgaleo’s typing I haven’t seen anywhere!

Solgaleo stands for “the beast who devours the sun.” The alchemic symbol for metal purification is the lion devouring the sun! Hence the steel typing!

Not only does this make sense, it wouldn’t even be the only alchemical reference in Sun and Moon:

See, the alchemical symbol for sulfur (a.k.a. brimstone, as in “fire and brimstone”) is this:

If we take the infinity sign to be eyes, then this looks quite a lot like Litten’s facial markings!

I wonder if alchemical symbols might just be a thing in the new games…

That’s a great observation! Litten definitely has markings resembling the brimstone symbol (note, it is also the alchemic symbol for sulfur!). I wonder if its evolutions will have markings of other alchemic symbols. I for one think the mercury or cinnabar symbols would be good choices.

On another note, I’ve done some more research regarding how lunala could relate to alchemy, and I might’ve found something. If you’ve ever watched full metal alchemist, you might have an idea of where I’m going! The philosopher’s stone as you might know is the ultimate goal in alchemy, as it has 4 steps.

-Nigredo (a state of decay, represented by the color black)

-Albedo (a state of purification, represented by the color white)

-Citrinitas (a state of bringing about solar light, or transmuting silver to gold, represented by the color yellow)

-Rubedo (a state of completion, represented by the color red).

Going by this theory, lunala would represent the first stage well, as nigredo is represented by black (lunala has black themes, is a bat) and it is the state of decay (lunala is a ghost type!)

Solgaleo is represented by albedo, as albedo is represented by white (solgaleo is white). 

If this theory is viable, I believe that lunala will be placed before solgaleo in the pokedex for the sole reason that nigredo precedes albedo. This might not be the case, as solgaleo is always showcased before lunala, but that doesn’t have to mean much.

What about the other 2 stages? Maybe they will be legendary pokemon that haven’t been released yet! I could see the pokemon representing rubedo being the cute yet extremely powerful legendary pokemon of the region (mew, celebi, etc).

So much alchemy influence in this region! I love it!

Definitely explains Solgaleo’s ability being Full Metal Body.

Asexuals don’t face nearly as much discrimination as many other sexualities, but fuck it if I don’t hate feeling like I’m broken and alone.

ask-keystar replied to your post: Things that excite me from the new Sun/Moon…

why do you seem to be so stressed out and worried about it? =}

Not stressed or worried, just confused.  I’m surprised that so many people thought it worth liking or reblogging seeing as its just a handful of observations from a trailer.

Things that excite me from the new Sun/Moon trailer:

• New region being a chain of islands, so Surf will actually be used more than once
• Rotomdex
• Real time updating Town Map on the touch screen that marks places of interest
• Expanded character customization
• Solgaleo and Lunala
• That day/night cycle difference!
• That night cycle skybox.

Things that are possibly alluded to in the new Sun/Moon trailer:

• Possibly two rivals, Hau and Lillie (Hau was shown to choose the starter weak against yours)
• National Dex integration during main game through QR codes
• Second starter set?  Your initial starter is not given to you by Professor Kukui, or his assistant, and there are still 4 generations of starters without Megas
• MORE MEGAS
• Non-static Pokemon locations
• Day/Night variation in Pokemon locations and rarity

So much potential from Sun and Moon so far.  Can’t wait to see more.

Why is this getting notes?

Oh. Well this will be a little awkward because of… recent events.

But I am curious, so sure, hit me.

Eh, why not. It’ll give me something to wake up too.
