I wasn't really refferring to your comments, so sorry if you took it that way. The first paragraph was for you. :P Your comments above did lead me to think of that, but it's more arguments that other people have mentioned that I though I would put to bed.
I agree, I mean I don't mind legendaries having such big roles, I think it's kind of cool that Pokemon can paly such a vital role. But thus saying, I don't think it's nessecary. I've always liked the concept of "protectors" and things like that. I do actually love the 3rd gen legendaries but mainly because of the way their story was portrayed in Emerald. If Dialga, Palkia, Giratina and Arceus were given a better involvement in the story, like that of Emerald, I'd probably love them too!! I think the biggest mistake with Arceus, is they made a god pokemon yet gave it zero meaning in the game. It's just an annoying event. =/
