Yin/Yang isn't good and evil, though. It merely represents the balance of things, it's just westerners tend to associate things like death and life, bad and good, etc, with Yin and Yang.

Well one of them is the Ying Pokemon, and the other is the Yang Pokemon
Just saying that a Ying Yang Pokemon is possible. a true neutral. Doesn't necessarily have to be a neutralizer in the sense Rayquaza was.
Yin-Yang doesn't work with good/evil, that's a Western concept.
And I cannot remember that third element, but besides it, they could also work with the idea of emptiness, dormancy. Nothingness.

Well, okay, let's put good and evil aside then.
Yin Yang is just opposing forces in general and how they're interconnected, right?
So they could still have a specific Yin Yang pokemon with, what, a split personality?
interconnected differences?
Like if Reshiram represents nature and Zekrom technology, there could be a third that's them interconnected
something like that
There's a lot of possibilities for trios
Not an issue IMO, just as it's not an issue for a Pokemon to rule two trios (6).
If a Pokemon heads a group of three related Pokemon it's a Trio master according to my understanding.
So I wouldn't care, for example, if it wanted to boss around a duo on the side much less itself.
I know that it might seem weird but for me there is a great distinction between "three" and "three and only three".
EDIT: In actual definitions anyway...don't hold your breath for me to pay you more than owed :P
I wasn't assuming good/evil, just opposites.
I did a little research on wikipedia, and the only other mention of something related is the emptiness or dormancy that you speak of. Yin and Yang supposedly arise from this state of calm and continue to circle until it is once again achieved (a still pond will produce waves when a rock is dropped into it, but the waves eventually subside and a still pond remains). I'm not sure how this could be incorporated as a third legendary, though.
That is a legendary I have wanted for so long,and it fits with the theme as well.
Maybe a... Dragon/??? pokémon ?_?
But I'm sure there's a third something to the yin-yang concept, and I"ll remember it someday. Someday.
If there is a third part, then it is probably the Taijitu pokemon.

If this guy is Fire/Electric type, I am pretty sure that would meet our requirement of having a Yin/Yang pokemon, as it would share a type with both of the cover legendaries and may have some sort of controlling or calming nature to them sort of like the pixie trio in Diamond/Pearl had on Dialga/Palkia/Giratina.
Rough Eng Translation: Diagram of ultimate power. Gamefreak would eat that idea up.
This gives me a theory about how Yin and Yang can lead to 5 legendary pokemon.
1: Yin
2: Yang
3. Taijitu (ultimate or supreme)
4: Wuji (without limit) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuji_(philosophy)
5: Wu wei (without action, leading to equilibrium) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_wei
yan and yang:we all know about it.
tajitu:reached its own limit.
wuji: do not posess a limit, thus can become greater then all the others.
wu wei: its only capable of watching, does not do anything else.
no i dindt bother to read those on wiki, those were the first thoughs i had when saw those mentions and i must say....gamefreak got potential there for 3 awesome pokemons.

Smogon's fantastical fun-guy.
So much theorymoning, and just on the basis for the other legends! It'd be just like GF to go with the yin/yang theme for the others, and if they devote so much as half the effort as everyone here, we should have some epic legendaries on our hands.
More information on the orange, blue-eyed rodent would be nice, maybe it serves as the "balancing" aspect to Reshiram/Zekrom (it would if it turned out to be Fire/Electric).
By the way, in the first video on Pokebeach, who else noticed the starters were being kept in a gift-wrapped box with no holes in it? How inhumane... poor little guys.
EDIT: lolligoth can be male because GF is a professional trap troll.
