Geesh! Way to crack at everybody for no apparent reason. Those facts are already known and just because people don't mention it doesn't mean that they don't know about it.
And you forgot Mewtwo. It was confirmed on Pokemon Sunday yesterday :p

I demand more MEW ;-;

I already got one though, from the Toys R us event 3 years ago. Lol

I agree that having so many Legendaries in here is stupid. I mean... why do we need the DPPt trio in here? :? It's not like we can't get them in Gen. 4 already. :/
I understand having Hoenn's trio in here, and if I'm telling the truth although I don't want them in a JOHTO remake, I'll look forward to getting Kyorge...

Personally, I'm just looking forward to kicking ???'s ass all over again. In revamped graphics.
But I agree that having 7-9 legendaries/ubers per game is overkill. In R/B/G/Y There was Mewtwo and the 3 birds (Illegal Mew in Yellow, and Missingno., Lv.100+ etcs.). Old G/S/C there was Ho-Oh, Lugia, and the 3 dogs. Shoulda been kept that way. But all the in-game events and new legendaries HAVE given the newer games a lot more storyline to play, since Giratina, Heatran, etc. were subs. This could lean either way. I'll judge it more when the game comes out in English :)

First, it's definitely not an overkill. Legendaries and ubers make the game longer, and put more strong Pokemon into the OU and uber environment for competitive playing.
Secondly, it's not even about legendaries. It's about the number of games for current console compared to the number of Pokemons. The number of Pokemons you could catch in Diamond or Pearl or Platinum without trading and pal parking was insane, simply because you have 493 Pokemons and you need more Pokemons per game to make a complete Pokedex available. Then both regular and legendaries are required.
Now with HGSS, you should be able to get all the Pokemons with all the games available for DS and the systems it can communicate with (unless for GBA cause Pal Park is unavailable in DSi). If Pokemons like Mewtwo, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza won't be available on those games, you won't stand a chance to complete a Pokedex.
And the thing with Arceus, it's only if you have the event Arceus anyways, and it's just some addition for fun.

Edit: Chronø, chances are the 3 birds won't be in that game. They were in Platinum already without any events. And I don't know why it wasn't true for Mewtwo, but it's supposed to look like Red already "caught them" IMO cause it's a sequel to FRLG.

Just got very angry that's all. I saw that mistake about Mewtwo so technically now there's 9 you can get without meeting the requirements of getting Rayquaza. Sorry! :(

MiniEggs August 10th, 2009 11:02 AM

Should they add all legendaries? And if we were on about DSi sales, then what about Pal Park pokemon? Will they be thrown around a bit?

DPPt had:
Spoiler:
Palkia
Dialga
Giratina
Heatran
Regigigas
Manaphy\Phione
Shaymin
Darkrai
Arceus
Rotom (can be counted as one because he has the legendary battle theme)
Drifloon (can be counted because he is very rare and has his own overworld sprite)
Moltres
Zapdos
Articuno


MY GOD!! That's 14 LEGENDARIES!!!!! GSC only had 5, the two mascots of the games and the 3 legendary dogs, Celebi can't be counted really because you can't legitally obtain him in english versions of GSC. And now HG/SS shall have 11 legendaries? No way man, that's too many. It steals the limelight from Lugia and Ho-Oh.

I dont understand how Drifloon is a legendary in any way O.o
man i ran into him so many times when i was training outside windworks lol

blue August 10th, 2009 12:21 PM

Yeah Mewtwo Was Definately Confirmed On Pokemon Sunday

MiniEggs August 10th, 2009 12:30 PM

Drifloon appears every Friday- how is it a legendary?

Chris The Nerd August 10th, 2009 12:32 PM

they're including these legendaries because you need to be able to complete the pokédex (excluding a select few) without use of the pal park or cheating. the weather trio is included because they are not in diamond, pearl or platinum.

also, the arceus must be traded from D/P/Pt, after being obtained from the movie. in order to get Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina you need this arceus. so they don't count.

-Ho-oh
-Lugia
-Raikou
-Suicune
-Entei

-Groudon
-Kyogre
-Rayquaza
-Mewtwo

-Dialga
-Palkia
-Giratina


so that's five from the originals, and four extras. that doesn't seem like much to me. I wouldn't be surprised if they add latios and latias to the mix.

JawKam August 10th, 2009 6:03 PM

Are there any other way besides 'events' and 'movies' that I can get those special legendaries? I live in Asia and there isn't such thing here. I've never completed a Pokedex in any of my games :(

Do you have Wi-Fi access. If you have than juss look into the trading sections on Pokémon forums. Shinies or EV'd Pokémon should get you what you want.

Anyway, on the one hand I enjoy longer storylines, so having these legendaries with a decent storyline isn't too bad I think.
On the other hand I no longer find In-game legendaies special in any way...there are so many I feel they're everywhere @[email protected]
Also, I hope they have a good explaination for why Kyogre and Groudon are in Johto (it's three years after Hoenn and Kanto so they should bring a nice explanation to us)
Having Mewtwo in it...well technically Red should have caught him three years ago but theoretically it could be that he never catched it in the first place. The player was able to avoid the cave (sure, no-one did but the In-Game Red is different from us anyway I think)
And Arceus...it still needs an event outside of japan. And it's additional. You don't have to get it and you don't have to transfer it.
Still, that doesn't change the fact that there are a lot. The number of legendaries in Platinum was overwhelming and still keeps me busy *is too lazy to catch the roamin' guys*

Another thing...do you think they will add more legendaries? If they want to make the Pal park unnecessary they would need events for Latios, Latias, Mew and Deoxys I think. And then there's Celebi which I doubt will be catchable without an event ( or as I suspect a GS-Ball distribution though Wi-Fi)
That would add five event legendaries to the list.

Soul Silver August 10th, 2009 9:44 PM

I doubt that they will add the previous event pokemon to the list. But it should mean you can get them at events again... hopefully

theDIRTYAVENGER August 11th, 2009 7:31 AM

I bet they're going to have Hoenn in the game as a surprise, and to avoid having to make remakes of R/S/E.

Divine~Deoxys August 11th, 2009 9:19 AM

I think they should just put Lugia and Ho-oh in there, coz every single other legendary, everyone who has Fr/Lg and Emerald, can already get them out of Gen III and Gen IV
