  • In Sinnoh you have 'THE CREATER OF THE EFFIN' UNIVERSE'! *cough* Sorry, but seriously, how can you get much more powerful than God, basically?

    BW should just have the local legends.

    I'm all for less legendaries, but if the past games are any indication the bare minimum GameFreak would even consider adding is 7: three mascots, the lesser "legendary trio", and at least one cute event pokemon. I hope it stops here, or with maybe one more in-game legend, but there is no way they would ever add any less.

    I really don't care about the amount, but I do want more back story for whatever ones they do introduce. The ones in Sinnoh weren't too memorable because there was nothing to make them "real", in the sense of the Pokemon world. No amazing stories, like the Legendary Beasts, Ho-Oh, and the Burned Tower. Just a simple throwaway line that didn't even strike those who read it with the Pokemon's power.

    And whatever legendaries there are, no more wandering ones. It just took forever to find one, and once you find it and catch it, it's not even one of those great ones anymore. It's more of an annoyance than a challenge. Same with the events.

    I do hope that whatever legendaries there are, that there's the basic backbone of previous generations (the trios and the "mascots") and of course the back stories that make them deserving of the legendary title.

    I was under the impression that they were just recycling the legendary dogs for this game's legendaries.

    No, the shiny legendary dogs are received by going to see that one movie or something in Japan. Doubtful that they'd be used as the actual legendaries.

  • at least five? you mean AT THE MOST 5
    follow the johto way
    2 giant powerful legendaries
    3 powerful normal sized legendaries

    You forgot Celebi.

    Anyways, I'd say several at most would balance things out enough, as Pokemon without much of a back-story (looking at you, Heatran) could easily be reused, and Darkrai/Cresselia seem to match the Dark/Light theme as well, though certainly not as the "main" legendaries of the game.

    I miss the good old times in which you found elements of every legendary pokemon all over the game. RBY: the Birds seen from the routes and the whole concept of the Cinnabar Mansion, for example. GSC: the two towers and the Forest Shrine. RSE started slipping a bit: serious background for the main trio, and meh appearances for the others. Same for DPP: but here, 3/14 is quite a low quality rate. The other trio is well named, but as others said...well they are identical.

    So yes. Back to old time, 5 legendaries with a solid background plz?

    Agree. I love legends around Legendary Pokémon. If Game Freak makes Legendaries that don't have a serious role in the games, they seem so pointless. It's only a device to make the new Generation more "cool" as the previous. Commercial.

    I'm afraid this is the hard reality.

    I always wondered how Arceus was going to be surpassed. I didn't think that there would be any more pokemon after it. It would only make sense that there wouldn't be, but in any case, I'm looking forward to seeing how many will be introduced this time around. I love the fact that there is once again, evolving legendaries in the Zoro's, it in many ways, adds more depth to pokemon. "Are we to believe that pokemon who haven't evolved are perfect beings?" - which was said about legendary pokemon, but the fact that we have Phione and now Zoroak, means that that statement can be contradicted.

    For me, I like the stories linked behind the legendary pokemon as much as I do the actual pokemon themselves. The Red Chain involving the trio; Uxie, Azelf and Mespirit, is personally one of my favourite legends. Possibly why I liked Gen.4 so much, I enjoy the myths and stories behind the legendary pokemon rather than just thinking of them as "stronger" pokemon.

    I hope to see a handfull of legendaries in B&W, not as much as what were in D/P/P but something to just make the game more interesting. I think they'll really have to step their game up to surpass what D/P/P had in the line of the legendary pokemon and their influence on the plot.

    Why is it everyone seems to think Zoroark is legendary? I mean I thought it was pretty obvious that it was unlikely to be a legendary. It's basically Lucario MK II, introduced early on, starred in a movie and had it's pre-evo announced immediately after.

    I was sure the Zoro's were legendary after hearing of it's appearance in the movie, seems I was ill-informed. Well in that case scratch that.

    After seeing the Zoro's though, I have high expectations for the legendary designs if they're only regular pokemon, even if Zoroark does look somewhat like Lucario.

  • I hate legendaries that are not from Gen 1&2.

    If only it wasn't about the money, they wouldn't ruin the show with all the crappy new generations.

    I agree. I don't think that Zoroark is legendary, though I wouldn't mind it being a mascot.

    And there is a huge debate over whether or not Heatran is even Legendary. It's allowed into the Battle Tower, for goodness sakes. Also, I thought Cresselia/Darkrai were good ideas, but they just looked... stupid. I would never put them on a box cover.

    I agree with what most people have said.
    Have 2-3 mascots, one trio, and 1-2 special pokemon.

    Honestly, as long as aren't any old legends, I wouldn't care how many Legendary Pokemon Game Freak decided to place in Isshu. Legendaries most definitely fuel the plot lines of the games and I feel like if there were only a few legends, let's say 4, there would just be something missing. That said, I'm not an advocator of creating every single kind of legendary possible, I just want there to be numerous and creative legendaries that can have an interesting story line behind them to make a better playing experience. So all in all, I'm fine with legendaries, as long as they aren't being reused from past generations. n3n

    Oh yes. There will be legendaries. However, there will only be 7 legendaries.

    Kanto- 5 Legendaries
    Johto- 6 Legendaries
    Hoenn- 10 Legendaries
    Sinnoh- 13 Legendaries

    The chart is not constant, but it is growing until now!

    5th Generation Region- 7 Legendaries.

    The First one can revive things that are already dead. It can even turn meat into an animal!
    The Second one can restore items that are either broken or destroyed. However, it can't restore things that are bigger than 1000 cubic feet. (Examples: A Nintendo DS, A Television, A File Cabinet, A computer (It can even restore data!), Wooden Furniture)
    The Third one however can restore items that are bigger than 1000 cubic feet. (Examples: A house, A school, A skyscraper)
    This trio is responsible for restoring life and posessions after natural disasters occour.

    Main Legendaries

    The Main Legendary for Pokemon Black Version is a Satan like pokemon.

    Type: Fire/Dark

    HP: 100
    Attack: 170
    Defense: 70
    Sp. Atk: 130
    Sp. Def: 70
    Speed: 140

    The other legendary, however, is a pokemon just like God, but not Arceus.

    HP: 100
    Attack: 70
    Defense: 130
    Sp. Atk: 70
    Sp. Def: 170
    Speed: 140

    The cute legendary looks like Kirlia, only more elegant, smaller, and charming.

    Stats are all 100, just like the other cute legendaries

    The ultra-uber legendary pokemon is named Arceoxes. Its 2 abilities are Multitype and Energy Restore, an ability where if the PP level drops down to 1, that move's PP is fully restored. It only has 1 move. Judgement.

    Stats

    HP: 1
    Attack: 1
    Defense: 1
    Sp. Atk: 300
    Sp. Def: 1
    Speed: 300

    It is indestructable, unless you or Arceoxes does this.

    1. Arceoxes holds the life orb
    2. Arceoxes has a status problem
    3. Arceoxes enters an entry hazard like Spikes
    4. You use an attack that always goes first (Quick Attack)
    5. Arceoxes misses its attack, or fails its attack.
    6. Arceoxes didn't wipe out the pokemon completely (This may happen if Arceoxes's attack is not very effective against the opponent and the foe has a great Special Defense and/or HP)
    7. A double battle where Arceoxes is teamed up with a slow or weak pokemon (The opponent will always aim for Arceoxes)

    Yes...WHEN they fuel the plot. How the Regis do that, though? And Latios and Latias (which, I'll have to admit, are cool nevertheless)? And Cresselia, and Darkrai, and Phione and Manaphy and Deoxis and what do you want?
    Legendaries ARE good. But please (and Arceus?), WHY should you catch random legends around that do nothing but wait for you to come and catch them?
