4th Gen Integrating legendary Pokémon into the storyline

I dont want to see them get a bigger plot in the game. Back in GSC (and RBY) the legendaries were exactly like their names suggested: LEGENDARY. No one really knew if they existed or were just myths. RSE dropped this kind of treatment. Now its common place to see legendaries. They used to treat all of them like they treat event pokemon like Darkrai now. Expand Team Rocket's storyline instead (3 major engagements and that guy in cerulean city are not enough).

I agree. I don't like how RSE and DPPt treats legendaries like they are just a rarer Pikachu. I mean, legendaries in the past two generations seem so commonplace. Legendary Pokemon are supposed to have this mystique and mysteriousness to them. Not many people know about them; and people are unsure if they even exist... Kind of like the Loch Ness Monster. RSE and DPPt legendaries have lost this and have just become as common as any starter Pokemon.

Thats applies only to the mascot of th games. Other legendaries are still very mysterious. I don't see why you want them to make it authentic when you can get a better game. Just imagine TR be a little more powerful and fighting with you over lugia/oh-ho. Because the storyline in the original GSC wasn't good at all and it seemed like the wanted to make the games as quickly as they can.
 
well there will be 4 Shinnoh Legendy pokemon all form Wifi Arecus, Darkai, Shiymu
and pokemon ranger Manphy
but Mew Mewtwo should be catchable becasue there are many lengends in the game comparing to dpPt
 
After, seeing this thread, I don't think I'll want to touch my Platinum ANYMORE. (Note: I'm going to fight Giratina.)

Putting legendaries in the plot, Nintendo? No-no, please. I only want Team Rocket and their badassness. That is all I want.

Well, remember that in crystal for example, suicune was in the plot too...
 
If they do a little Crystal plot in to these ramkes I wouldn't mind. I barely remember much about the TR plot in Gold/Silver, so something more memorable would be better, especially if it were to incoporate the Legendary Pokémon a bit.
 
Well, now we know that some legendaries will be integrated into the story line because of the inclusion of Eusine, Suicune, Raiku, and Entei. But involving Ho-oh and Lugia would also be nice as it would give the games a thicker plot.
 
I don't want any legendaries incorporated into the main storyline, I don't want it to be like Platinum where you had to chase after Giratina into the portal and go fight it with people all talking to you and stuff ... I want it to be like the original where you have the choice of getting Lugia/Ho-Oh or not, see in the classic games you didn't HAVE to get them, it was just an option.

So I don't want any NPC's saying "Oh, go stop Ho-Oh from destroying Ecruteak! You have to battle it!" ....... Nah. It should be like the original, purely an option if you want to interact with the legendary.
 
i believe they should expand on why the rival hated team rocket, and include more to the legendarys including celebi. it was virtually untouched in the originals, plus if they increased what you could do in kanto would be amazing. i remember blowing through kanto in like a couple of hours

I'd love to same theme integrated some way (like during the Kanto part of the game), but I feel they should play the same part in the main storyline that they did in the originals. Plot is one thing you do not want to drastically change if you're making a remake.

This is exactly how I see it.

I don't mind the legendaries being incorporated into the game, as long as they have to do with the story.

Maybe since they confirmed Mewtwo, it would be a lot longer for Kanto i guess


:t354:TG
 
That was a very weak part in GSC and RBGY/FRLG. Since they change so many things here to the plot (all the additions will probably take a major part in the plot, not just a tiny addition like the islands were to FRLG), they'll probably change that too. And I think it'd be awesome. I really don't want to see the same game again identically. I want changes...I want to see it improved.
 
I dont quite understand whats wrong with integrating the legendary Pokemon into the storyline.
GSC's storyline was good, but not that good. Adding extra plots, sub-plots, stories, characters and missions will not only make the plot stronger, but make the game longer
 
A mon avis... we should go deeper into the legend behind the legendaries and that leads us to the legendary itself, like in the 2nd film with Lugia, they think it's a myth then it all comes true... That would be good. But it has to incorporate Team Rocket somehow.
 
i think that legendaries should be left almost completely out of the story. as their name implies, they are legendary. their existence should be questioned in the same way that the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot is questioned in our world. this is where i think the generation 3 and 4 games went wrong. in generations one and two, the game's main legendaries are hidden, and almost inessential to the plot. players can totally skip the legendary pokémon entirely, making the capture of this legendary an actual challenge, something you have to search for. but recently, game freak and nintendo have been holding their player's hands through the process,making it so that you must encounter the game's mascot legendary before you even get your eighth badge. it's no longer a challenge. it's just catering to the kids who were complaining that it was too hard to get the legendary pokémon. now they can all yell "YIPEEE I GOTZ A PALKIA I SO AWSUM!!!" when in reality, they had their hands held through the whole thing.
 
By the way it seems, they are adding too many legendaries into this game. Are they putting them all in? I hope not.
 
Im gonna guess What lugias story is

Team Rocket:AHAHH I WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD WHEN I CATCH LUGIA
*Team rocket gets owned*
*You kill/catch Lugia*
Team rocket gets all sad and mad then just leaves
 
lol, that is soooo true, that is what really happened in the sinnoh games

not really, only the third and fourth gen games, because the first and second generations weren't stupid.
