So, lets try to figure out how many legends exists.

Here's what I think:

Mewtwo: One
Mew: very few, but more than one
Three birds: One, according to bulbapedia
Lugia: more than one
Ho-oh: more than one
three dogs: more than one..at least for entei
weather trio: one
Regis: one
Jirachi: very few
deoxys: probably a few
Shinnohs time guys: one
Arceus: one
Heatran: has to be more than one, different
Shaymin: common, actually
Manaphy: I dont even think its a legend
Cress and Dark: one

I think thats all. As far as them being in multiple games (plakia in Plat and SS) I think that is just for the chance for people to catch them. And as far as frontiers owning some, I think thats to make the game harder.

So, with this said..would stark mountain actually expload if heatran wasnt guarding it? If we catch heatran, then no one is there to protect it, so ther would have to be another.

Then again, if we catch Dialga,time should be screwed up....perhaps the gamefreak doesnt think this part through?


Which leads to the second part..should we be allowed to catch legends? I know this seems off topic, but if they are unique and are needed to keep the world going, how could we be allowed to catch them. I mean, realisticaly, its not like anyone would even know we had it, nor know what it was if they seen it, but the world should take effect to the poke not being there.

confusing stuff.

Here's my take on it:

Bird-trio: Multiple (in the anime there are at least; Oak talks about them in Platinum like there are multiple).
Mewtwo: One (possibly more).
Mew: Multiple (frequently talked about as though there are or were multiple).
Dog-trio: Multiple (Suicune is at least talked about as such in the anime).
Ho-Oh: Multiple (frequently talked about as though there are multiple).
Lugia: Multiple (in the anime at least).
Regis: One (possibly more).
Latis: Multiple (talked about).
Weather-trio: One (possibly more).
Jirachi: Multiple (talked about).
Deoxys: One (possibly more).
Lake-trio: One (possibly more).
Dragon-trio: Multiple (Arceus created one in HGSS and since according to the mythology one would alreaddy have to exist, well...).
Manaphy and Phione: Multiple (talked about; Phione can breed too).
Regigigas: One (possibly more).
Cresselia and Darkrai: One (possibly more).
Heatran: Multiple (Pokedex confirms such).
Shaymin: Multiple (talked about).
Arceus: One (possibly more).

I like to go by the theory that there are multiple of all of them though (trainer battles of them versing each other work then). How there could be more of the 'only one' ones listed above:

Mewtwo: Can possibly breed or more clones could be made.
Weather-Trio: There could be different ones to the main ones or they rule over different regions.
Regis: No reason there can't be more.
Deoxys: No reason there can't be more.
Regigigas: No reason there can't be more.
Lake-trio: There could be different ones to the main ones.
Cresselia and Darkrai: No reason there can't be more.
Arceus: There could be other ones then the original one.

All legenaries are multiple (except maybe mewtwo) how else would they breed?

Lugia: more than one
Ho-oh: more than one REALLY? i dont remember any more
three dogs: more than one..at least for entei
Regis: one
Jirachi: very few
deoxys: probably a few
Shinnohs time/space guys: one BUT the space one might have alternate dimension copies ;)
Arceus: one
Heatran: has to be more than one, different
Shaymin: common, actually
Manaphy: I dont even think its a legend
Cress and Dark: one
Celeby: havn't heard of more at all
Mind-trio: fits to have only one of each
eons: herds
kyogre: one?
groudon: one per landmass
rayquaza: one most likely
Flygon: love the guy :p technically "mystic pokemon"
Lucario: many, but still should count with flygon
Giratina: maybe he was another arceus, cast down?

they dont breed.
Just because they don't breed in the daycare doesn't mean they don't breed outside the daycare.
