What I noticed about Legendaries.

    • I noticed that way to many of them are electric, fire, and Water types! Seriously, let me name them all!

    Moltres, Entei, Groundon, Ho-oh, Heatran, Victini, Reshiram, and Volcanion are all fire type,

    Suicune, Kyogre, Palkia (For some reason), Keldeo, and Volcanion (This is what I got from the wiki I am reading) are all water types. (Articuno used to be a water type)

    Zapdos, Raiko, Rayquaza (I am sure he is still electric, since he is considered part of the weather trio), Thundurus, and Zekrom are all electric types.

    This makes how much of the legendaries? But there is too much.

    • This is quite an incorrect statement.

    First of all, you forgot to include Manaphy and Phione, so that makes 7 Water-types (though that's still a lot). Second, Rayquaza isn't an Electric-type. Third, unless you're talking about Primal Groudon, then it isn't a Fire-type.

    Fourth, there are actually way too many Psychic-types (around 17, counting the SM ones) and Flying-types (around 11). Also, Dragon exceeds all three of these types in terms of how many there are (8, barely beating Fire and Water). Plus, Steel matches the amount of Legendary Pokémon Fire and Water have.

    Thus, your statement is almost completely false.

    I was sure that Groundon was a Fire type and Rayquaza was a Electric type, didn't they start out like that?

    No, they didn't. Rayquaza is a Dragon/Flying-type legendary, and normal Groudon is pure Ground.

    • Also, Articuno was never a water type. Its always been Ice/Flying since generation 1.

    It's only been shown as a water type in the trading card game since there is no ice type in there.

    • Articuno was never a Water type, you must be thinking Pokemon cards, in which all Ice type Pokemon use the same Energy cards as the Water type.

    Rayquaza has all along been a Dragon/ Flying, and Groudon is a pure Ground.

    I really beg to differ about your similarities too-- Keldeo is pretty unique with his Water/ Fighting dual typing. And again, it's more or less the dual type combination that does make them more special now yes.

    • There's never been a Bug or a Poison type Legendary yet you know? :3
    (Volcarona isn't considering a Legendary js, it's considered a psuedo-legend)

    They meant Volcanion.

    And Volcarona isn't a pseudo legendary-- It only has a base stat total of 550, whilst pseudo legendary has a total base stat of 600.

    Genesect is a bug legendary.
    Unless you don't count Mythical pokémon as Legendaries but see them as something separate.

    Wait, I thought the Dragon typing was added when Black and White came out, how could Rayquaza be a dragon type when there was no official typing for Dragon?

    No. The Dragon type always existed. When you associate Dragons with Generation V, it means that they dominated the metagame.

    Also, Dragons were actually an appropriate type in Generation II and later, while the Dragon type existed since the first Pokémon games.

    Dragon Pokemon have existed since the first generation, with Dratini's line being the first and only Dragon type in Red, Blue, Green and Yellow.

    Black and White did not introduce any new types; The only time new types have been added were in generation 2 (Gold, Silver and Crystal) with the addition of Dark and Steel type and generation 6 (X and Y), the Fairy type.

    Spelling errors lol :p
    I don't see how there can be "too many" pokemon of a type. Some types will naturally have more types then others. Also, be sure to double check your facts :p

    • Since when did you think Dragon was introduced in Generation V? Then what type did you think Dragonite was? Why would you think Articuno is a Water-type? Rayquaza being an Electric-type is one of the silliest things I've heard.

    Wait a second.

    He's not talking about the games, guys.

    He's probably talking about the TCG.

    And as for you...

    Normal is not necessarily the inferior type, so that's not something worth pointing out.

    • Even if you are discussing the TCG, which has less types and thus forces certain Pokémon into altered typings, I don't think it's the case that the distribution of Legendary Pokémon types is particularly or noticeably different from the distribution of other Pokémon types. Even if hamcon is referring to the TCG here, this still doesn't make a lot of sense.

    Also, even in the TCG, Groudon is still not a Fire-type mate.
