If Lucario isn't a legendary, why was such a big deal made out of him?
 
Well, ever since I found out Lucario had a pre-evo, and its Dex position, I always wonder why such a big deal was made out of him, this means like getting his very own movie, if he's just a normal Fight/Steel type in the middle of the Pokedex. Your thoughts.


B to the I to the PPA yo!

mrplanters October 12th, 2006 1:28 PM

Because they wanted to and don't forget the movie also starred mew the regie's and bonsly, munchlax, mime jr. and weavile

Bippa October 12th, 2006 3:02 PM

^I don't think that's a thought-out legit answer <_<

A Pokemon doesn't have to be a legi to make a big deal about it. Legendary Pokemon aren't that great, for most or all of them they can get knocked out by no legi's

^I guess that makes sense but you haven't really seen any other movies based on a non-legendary.

Flamman October 13th, 2006 1:23 PM

well, what do you think of this:
the big role, is for the regi's, and who are legendary? the regi's!
lucario just has a role in the movie, like slowking in the second movie, and charizard in the third, and others.

mrplanters October 13th, 2006 1:24 PM

Yeah but lucario was even in the title of the movie so he should have a big part.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ October 13th, 2006 3:02 PM

and the fact in Pokemon 3 the Movie the unowns had a major role also. I think what thats all about is to make other than legendary Pokemon Popular

Bippa October 13th, 2006 4:55 PM

I think somebody said like Slowking or whatever had a role in the second movie and Charizard in the third, but since Lucario's name was in the title, you'd think he'd have a big role.

Bippa

mrplanters October 13th, 2006 5:01 PM

Yea exactly my thoughts bippa.

Lucario does have a big role. He is the one who the story is based around. It doesn't matter if his name is in the title, MEW was also in the title. MEW was the legendary in the movie along with the Regis.
There was no real big fuss made over Lucario, he was just in the movie as one of the main characters.

............This is totally off-topic, but BIPPA, I LOVE YOUR DISPLAY PICTURE!!

I dont know why, but i started staring at it, and i realizedd a half an hour went by o.o

But yea.. lucario, kewl.. not legendary.. i wanna trade cards..

Blastoise October 13th, 2006 5:49 PM

Better question: Pikachu isn't legendary, so why do they make a big deal out of it?

mrplanters October 13th, 2006 5:50 PM

Let's try to stay on topic and the answer because it's Ash's favorite pokemon.

Krobelus October 13th, 2006 6:15 PM

No... because it is Ash's "first" pokemon, or favorite,

but still, Maybe Lucario is famous because it was the first of the Shinou Pokemon made? and right away they made a movie of him?

Ayano Katagiri October 13th, 2006 6:32 PM

Pikachu doesnt have to be legendary to be famous. It is Ash's first Pokemon as said by Razmazter and it was the most widely publicised Pokemon because they felt like using Pikachu as a image to help Pokemon gain publicity.

I'm not sure about this but, wasn't Munchlax made before Lucario??

mrplanters October 13th, 2006 6:33 PM

So do our posts answer your question Blastoise?

..:i n n e r_宇 宙:.. October 13th, 2006 7:08 PM

Let me please announce one more theory of this possible reason why Lucario is a big deal.

Simple.

You know how Celebi, Latias, and Latios were sort of a prologue to Hoenn, Johto, and so on? I believe that Lucario was shown as a movie as sort of a precursor to Shin'ou, or the beginning to the climax of Hoenn and the start of Shin'ou.

Simply put, it was just there as an advertisement.

Why do they make such a big deal out of Pickachu? Pickachu is kind of weak in the games.

mrplanters October 13th, 2006 7:32 PM

Ninja Monkey we just did this topic don't start it again anyways the reason is it was Ash's first pokemon and and his favorite

True, true, I forgot about that. Oh and you missed out Entei for the 3rd movie.
But then again the question of legendary comes into play from the people before. Celebi and the Latis are all Legendaries remember? And Lucario isnt.

Since when did it matter? Legendaries, I mean.

And I didn't miss out Entei, those were just examples.

I think I responded before that you don't need legendaries to be the star of the show. I mean, look, at Pokemon Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, there is Mew, which people have forgotten to mention (because they are all focused on Lucario) and the Regis. Well, besides Regigigas.

And if you are talking about the titles of the movie, they just started doing that on the sixth movie, wasn't it? So Latias, Latios, Entei, etc. were not in the title. (Unless you count the Japanese movies, then yeah, I think the Pokemon were in the title)

I think that Lucario was going to be a legendary, or something, but they scrapped that idea...

After all, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Pokemon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew hinted at Lucario being a legendary.

And I'll give the example of why you don't need legendaries in a Pokemon movie.

Pokemon M* (M=Movie, *=number)

Pokemon M1: Mew, Mewtwo, and maybe others, but I don't really have the cassette anymore...

Pokemon M2: Lugia, Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, and maybe others, yet again.

Pokemon M3: Actually, none (since Entei, technically was created by the Unowns and is not the real deal, or that's what I was led to believe, and no, the Unowns are not legendaries, no matter what the movie says otherwise)

Pokemon M4: Celebi, Suicune.

Pokemon M5: Latias, Latios.

Pokemon M6: Jirachi (fake Groudon, created by ^*^#3! (the name is covered so as to try to keep this spoiler-free)

Pokemon M7: Deoxys, Rayquaza

POKEMON: M8: Mew, Regice, Registeel, Regirock.

So, while some Pokemon were legendaries and in the movie, Lucario does not have to be a legendary to be a main character.

Hopefully this clears a little more of the mystery.

Don't mini-mod. That is spam, you are encouraging the offtopicness. This is NOT about Pikachu; the analogy was ontopic, but answering it was not. :/ It is meant for discussion of the overblownness of Lucario.

I agree with the idea it was an advertisement; Lucario was one of the first Shinou Pokémon revealed, ne? :] I mean, and look at Chansey & Blissey -- aren't they only the ones that can use Softboiled? I think... o_O; Heh. xDDD

Br26 October 14th, 2006 2:38 AM

No idea. Most of the movies are based on legendaries, so we just assumed that Lucario was a legendary..apparently now that's not the case.

Krobelus October 14th, 2006 10:01 AM

Well Lucario really looks cool, And If he was a legendary, then it would have been too redundant, what with most of the other movies starring a legendary or two, and couldn't Chansey's baby form use Softboiled?
