I think it might be either a Dark/Flying type or a Dark/Dragon type, since it does have wings.

And I wonder what their abilities will be? Pressure? Or something else entirely?

I'm surprised that, with all of this talk of the newly revealed legends, no one seemed to notice this:

Pokebeach.com
 
The Daisuki Club on the official Japanese Pokemon website is now calling Reshiram and Zekrom the “Legendary Dragon Pokemon,” meaning they will at least be part Dragon-type like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Their second type, if any, is not yet known at this time.
No, I know Eevee already posted this. This isn't what I'm talking about.

Pokebeach.com
 

Larger versions of Black and White’s box art have been released, revealing that both games will have enhanced features for the Nintendo DSi (click the thumbnail below for a larger image). If you look at the bottom right of each box, you will see their game code. The first part of the code - “TWL” - is Nintendo’s way of denoting that the games are enhanced for the DSi. Most DS games are labeled “NTR,” meaning there is no difference in their features when playing them on the first DS, the DS Lite, or the DSi. So, what will these enhanced features be? Well, we don’t know yet obviously!
------
Additionally, the Daisuki Club sent out an e-mail to its members stating some basic factoids about the version differences between the two games; thanks go to Yaminokame for translating it below! What could the bold statement be referring to?

What are the differences between Pocket Monsters Black and Pocket Monsters White?

Other than how to meet the legendary Pokemon Reshiram and Zekrom, things like encountered Pokemon and Pokemon encounter rates differ between the two versions! You can enjoy trading Pokemon that only appear in one version by using the local wireless and Wi-Fi connections with your family, friends, and players from all over the country! There is another big version difference as well, which we will reveal later! We’ll keep showing you detailed information on the Pokemon Daisuki Club website! Don’t miss it!!

And last but not least, Zoroark.com was registered back in late February and now redirects to Pokemon.com. This pretty much confirms that Zoroark will keep its Japanese name for the English games. Like Manaphy, Darkrai, Reshiram, and Zekrom, special or popular Pokemon are always made into .com’s and redirected to the English Pokemon website.

Source: Reshiram and Zekrom’s Type; Games Enhanced for DSi; Zoroark’s English Name

Yeah, this would be it. Click on the link above to go and see the game box arts.

Well duh!
Seriously, what did they expect?

If this is going to end up like Ruby/Shapphire where they promised two different stories in each game but ended up with one or two sentences getting replaced and the villians switched, then I'm going to hurt somebody.

Still not 100% confirmed though, but it is most likely, just hope Zorua keeps its name too.

Most likely it will. They both sound fine the way they are. I see no reason to change Zorua's name.

Rumours abound.

The host of Pokémon Sunday, Nakagawa Shoko, blogged today about the character she is voicing in the thirteenth movie. With this, she mentioned about her love for Electric types and stated that due to this, she wants to get Zekrom. This statement was quickly removed from her blog but people managed to catch it in time. If this holds true then it will mean that Zekrom is of a Dragon and Electric type, a new and unique type combination. Remember though, this is NOT confirmed, albeit coming from a very likely source plus she could have removed it due to her being mistaken about Zekrom's type. We'll bring more as and when it comes.


Quote from Serebii.net.
Interesting if true.

I don't think Zekrom's gonna be an Electric type. It just doesn't look at all like Electric-type material. =/

It's not like if Groudon LOOKED that much like a Ground-type either. In fact, some people I know STILL think it's a Fire-type.

And Palkia looks NOTHING like a Water-type, and yet it is.

They got Freddy. Poor Freddy.

While we're on the mystery of certain Pokemon having certain types, did anyone ever figure out why Gyarados is a Flying type and not a different type... like Dragon?

I can actually see Palkia's water attributes--its arm plates always looked like seashells to me. And Groudon's name implies that it's a Ground type.

As for Gyarados, i think GameFreak wanted Datini and the family to be the only Dragon-types of the first Generation.

You couldn't imply that with its Japanese name.

And then we have Arceus, who looks more like a Dragon-type rather than a Normal-type. Sure, its ability may warrant a good reason as to why it is a Normal-type, but we didn't know its ability when we first saw it.

I doubt anyone suspected it was a Normal-type unless they read it from a reliable source.

I can see how Zekrom could be electric, as he has blueish lines on him.

I personally don't link these legendaries, they don't seem like real Pokemon...
I mean their really cool, just not pokemon.

I can see how it's possible by its drill-tail. It somehow reminds me of a power generator.

Same here.

It may be because Pokemon often had designs that made it easy to imply the game was aimed at children.

But these new Legends look like something out of a more mature monster game.

What I meant is, before they revealed its Japanese name was the same as its English one, it was hard to determine it would be a Ground-type because you don't know if the "grou" part was there as some sort of Japanese word that meant something along the lines of "fire," "magma" or "pyro."

Before its English name was revealed to be the same, you could have thought that "grou" could have meant something else entirely, or that "Groudon" being ortographically similar to "ground" was a coincidence. Or maybe one could have thought it was pronounced differently and it meant something related to fire, and it wasn't until they made that its English name as well, that you realized it was similar to Ground and it THEN made sense that it would be a Ground-type.

And even like that, we're talking about appearances, not so much names. |P
