'Legendary' still means something.

it means you're a faggot loser who needs a crutch if you use them.

The 580 BSTs, Heatran, Landorus, Manaphy, and Phione should be retconned to be normal mons.

>>25696560
That's a good point, but I can't help but dislike Legendaries on principle alone. Why is Heatran a Legendary? Or Manaphy/Phione? Fucking Melloetta, seriously?
Also, what >>25696594 said.

>>25696608
THIS!

>>25696606
mad? I can beat legendaries, if I'm mad about anything, it's that people use legendaries and throw strategy out the window.

they're so powerful they pretty much encourage it, there's nothing worse than seeing some kid with a team full of legendaries thinking they're hot shit because they used the pokemon equivalent of a Dick move.

these kids don't grow up to be good at pokemon.

A good deal of the time they don't grow up, period

desu "legendary" often just means rare or unique pokemon which is fine

>>25696650
i dont mind people using legendaries because it's more than likely just a handicap for people who are bad or still learning. there's little problem defeating these types if you come a little prepared.

>>25696901
what happens if those people start picking on beginners, Anon? What happens when they start thinking they're invincible because of their reliance on legendaries?

you know what someone can do? give an eight year old Mega-Rayquaza, and just watch as they steamroll all their little friends with it.

what happens then?

>>25696930
the same thing that happens when you give an eight years old mega mom.

>>25696930
these people can't and don't win forever. he might bring such a mega rayquaza to a match where someone knows what they're doing and they either take it down or give it a run for its money.

>>25696286
honestly the amount really doesn't matter, but the fact they don't treat them like rare pokemon does.

up until gen 5 each legendary had good deal of lore and usually a dungeon/event. Starting in gen5 and more prominently in gen 6 you literally just walk up and find them in a tiny cave you already had gotten to before. oras literally has them everywhere, and completely makes them feel worthless.

>>25696420

That's literally just gen 4.

>>25696650
They're just kids. What do you expect them to do? Go online and learn how to breed for ivs? They're inevitably going to pick the strongest pokemon because they're completely ignorant to competitive battling.

>>25696901
Exactly

>>25696967
And THIS is the only problem I have with scrubs/children who use legendaries. They don't win every time, and when a lot of them get beaten they fucking disconnect.

What's the percentage of legendaries in every gen? In gen 2 it's 6%.

>>25696968
Check your shit anon, Gen 4 was the first generation to throw in Pokemon haphazardly without any lore for example Heatran, Regigigas and Shaymin.

Also if they have legendaries that appeared in previous games they've NEVER had any lore in any game.
Black and White 2 also did a better job in the dungeon area however seeing as most of them did in fact have a dungeon unlike games like HG/SS and things like the Embedded Tower. In fact the Embedded Tower went against every part of the lore especially since the Red and Blue orbs remained on Mt. Pyre and were watched by the residents at the end of RSE.

>>25697184
I thought Regigigas created the other Regis and towed continents with ropes.

>>25697179
>>you caught a creature that flooded the world
>World
Fuck at least play RSE you retard Kyogre and Groudon didn't have anywhere world creator tiers of power then, hell they don't now even with the primals. Their powers were regional and throughout the story it didn't even spread over the whole region fully again even with the primals.

Speaking of the birds

If you want to argue semantics like that You capture Mew who also has that ability.

Magcargo isn't hotter than the sun.
Kadabra didn't transform from a kid.
Yamask doesn't carry around their previous face because every Yamask face is the same even in the anime.

You're an idiot. Don't bother posting anymore.

The Pokedex was created by humans in the game and anime. Humans make mistakes.

You honestly think all pokemon of the same species look exactly the same?

>>25696633

>>25697393
its the current sum total of their available knowledge. its correct and anything that we find weird must have a more in depth explanation in a book we just cant read as player characters.

>>25696286
I miss when legendaries were just all secret bosses. They never needed to be a part of the story.

>>25697453
>Legendary means spoken of in legends not LE GOD LIKE POKEMON you fucking retards.
Clearly you've never heard any legends.
Most are about godly beings especially when it comes to japan.

Kill yourself genwunner fucking piece of shit.

>>25697457
>I miss when legendaries were just all secret bosses.
I don't. Especially since every gen always has one.
There's no reason why they should all just be secret bosses with very little lore and plot to them.

The only time we get differences is when it's a mirror match deal like with Ash and Ritchie that's it, they all look the same.

>>25697477

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abura-sumashi

>>25697490
>with very little lore and plot to them
Mewtwo had plenty of lore, it just didn't hijack the storyline.
Really, the dungeons were the best part. We need more of those.

>>25697504
The legends are obviously the superweapons the evil team use to achieve their goal, it would be boring if they went realistic and had the teams simply invent technology to do that instead fucking retard.

>>25697507
anon was trying to say that yamask's masks all looking exactly the same is because the animators cant create a unique visage for each and every single wild yamask you run into in the games.

the pokedex says the mask looks like what they did in life. and so it does.

>>25697528
And it's boring that each team just so happens to be after a different doomsday machine Pokemon every gen.
It was a good change of pace in gen 3, but it's getting ridiculous now.

>>25697552
Thats your nostalgia faggotry talking its perfectly fine, and Flare needed the legends to be a battery for the ancient tech superweapon that they were using.

>y-you're not allowed to hate new stuff y-you NOSTALGIAFAG!
Magma, Aqua, Plasma, Flare, and whatever gen 4's team was are all interchangeable. They all have the exact same goals and it's truthfully gotten stale.

>>25697576
>there are real life animals capable of creating temperatures nearly equal to that of the sun.
For a fraction of a second, underwater.
Magcargo's skin is naturally that hot and it lives on land.

Is it true that the number of legendary creature Pokemon is influenced by Shinto's "gods for everything" approach? Am I understanding this incorrectly? I don't think I remember seeing any other Shinto influences in the games (other than I guess the traditional Japanese-feel in some areas of Johto) so I might be wrong.

>>25697597
>Magma, Aqua, Plasma, Flare, and whatever gen 4's team was are all interchangeable.
Okay, seriously at least play the game before you shitpost anon.
The only ones that can really be swapped out is gen 3 and 4 because 4 was a rehash of 3.
5 and 6 have completely different plots.

Okay.

>>25697597
You haven't actually played any of those games, have you? When it comes down to it, all villains in childrens' media are interchangeable when you look at it from afar because all of their goals are incredibly simple. But just because they have similar goals doesn't mean they're all trying to reach said goal the exact same way.

>>25697597
Magma-Expand land to create more space for humans to develop
Aqua-Expand ocean because muh environmentalism
Galactic-Remove all irrational concepts from the universe like spirit and emotion and make one that is only logical.
Plasma-Trick Unova into giving up their pokemon so the entire region can be conquered now that the humans are defenseless since Plasma is the only ones with the weapons I mean pokemon.
Neo Plasma-Freeze Unova then force the humans to give up control over it to Neo Plasma
Flare-Kill every human, and pokemon leaving a planet where only Team Flare exist allowing Lysandre's batshit insane idealogy to go unchallenge for the rest of time since he intended to use Xerneas to become immortal.'

Yes anon they are all the same its clear you havent even played these games fucking nostalgiafag.

>>25697530
>anon was trying to say that yamask's masks all looking exactly the same is because the animators cant create a unique visage for each and every single wild yamask you run into in the games.
There's no reason they can't make at least five different faces to drive that fact home. In the games there's no reason it could have a spinda mechanic.

>the pokedex says the mask looks like what they did in life. and so it does.
They hatch from eggs with the mask.
They aren't even dead.

>>25697638
Magma- Control a powerful legendary for world domination.
Aqua- Control a powerful legendary for world domination.
Galactic- Control a powerful legendary for world domination.
Plasma- Control a powerful legendary for world domination.
Neo Plasma- LITERALLY control a powerful legendary for world domination.
Flare- Control a powerful legendary for world domination.

>People STILL not realizing that pokemon is a franchise and media empire BUILT to sell shit to kids and nostalgia babies.

You know what kids like? When playing a game, having collected something that gives them status and makes them feel important and strong. Now, with the iterative nature of pokemon, you idiots HAVE to expect that their will be more legendaries in each Gen. It's a fucking given. It's farcical to take any of this shit seriously when the only thought that goes into this franchise by it's property holders is how it will print money.

>>25697665
Magma didn't want world domination and wanted to force humanity to evolve in the Hoenn region.
Aqua didn't want world domination and wanted to stop humans from polluting the seas of Hoenn
Galactic didn't even want the current world and not just Sinnoh but the entire world.
Plasma was the only one about world domination but had a plot about child manipulation and Pokemon abuse.
Flare didn't want the world as it was and tried to eradicate everyone worse than them.

Seriously did you even bother to read this shit when you were playing?

Oh yeah and if you remember right Groudon and Kyogre were also last case scenarios for both Magma and Aqua because their original plan required the volcano (which didn't make sense for aqua.)

>>25697649
>They hatch from eggs with the mask.
>They aren't even dead.
then the species was first formed by rising from the dead, and proliferated from there.

>>25697740
Said the Pokedex with no proof of such.

>>25697665
Magma/aqua's goal was to either increase the size of continents/oceans to allow more of their pokemon. Their goal was pants on head retarded, but it wasn't really about power.

Galactic's goal was to destroy the universe and remake a new one with their ideology and image.

Plasma's goal was, yes, to control a powerful legendary for world domination, under the guise of helping pokemon. The fact that their goal didn't change any between gens doesn't matter since the same thing happened with rockets in gen 1/2. And really, the team's goal was to free pokemon from slavery, the only person who wanted the world domination part was Ghetsis.

Flare's goal was to nuke the planet, kill everyone except a select few, and make a utopia with the survivors.

There's some that can be compared overtly, like flare and galactic, but each gen has pretty different motivations unless you're autistic and oversimplify everything.

>>25697665
Magma and Aqua didnt want world domination retard.

Cyrus never cared about world domination he was just an extreme autist that wanted to eliminate all irrationality from existence.

Plasma was only concerned about Unova.

Flare didnt want to takeover the world, they wanted to be the only ones who exist in the world.

>>25697746
said the pokedex with volumes of proof and well known historical documentation thats too long to fit on an opening paragraph of a portable wikipedia.

>>25697755
>they wanted to be the only ones who exist in the world.
Is that not taking over the world?

>>25697668
So instead of looking at the majority of the legends you're going to ignore that and instead say that all of them are bigfoot tier.

I don't think you know what a legend actually is.

>>25697768
>Is that not taking over the world?
No, taking over the world implies taking it over as it was.
They wanted to demolish the world and the people in it.

>>25697718
I think the volcano was just part of multiple steps of both teams' goals. Aqua wanted to dry the volcano up, fill it with rainwater, and turn it into a lake or bastion or something which doesn't make sense since all the water would just be sulfuric acid after the volcanic activity in the region anyway.

>>25697771
i'm not saying that at all, i'm saying that the fact that there are legends about less powerful creatures is all the justification needed for us to have legendary pokemon that are weaker than dragonite.

>>25697768
No taking over means conquering all the countries and shit but there would be nothing to takeover if the countries and shit dont exist.

>>25697795
That's what the mythical pokemon are anon.

>>25698025
>How does anyone win VGC with such cookie cutter teams?
The teams are really fundamentally good.
>Also 2014 best year.
Agreed. 2014 had more limitations to it in regard to Pokémon selection which means it was easier to prepare counterteams, which is why there's a lot more variety that year. 2015 reopened access to Thundurus, Landorus, Cresselia, and Heatran, which make up 16 of the Pokémon in the top 5 for a reason.

>>25698049
>The teams are really fundamentally good.
No I mean, the chances are they have the same stats too especially when it came to 2015.
You'd think that they'd end up in stalemates most of the time.

That's when it becomes more about making the right plays. In chess you have the exact same pieces as your opponent and win via strategy and outplaying your opponent, it's like that.

>>25698125
is there actually a story mode to that game? all i see in threads is people complaining about the roster for multiplayer

>>25698091
Prediction and luck. Gen v weather wars felt the same way.

>>25698140
Yes.
The crystal in Mewtwo's chest is a shadow synergy stone that absorbs gaia power, the power that allows synergy burst and such.
Anne, Mewtwo's trainer wasn't attacking people she was searching for someone with enough synergy prowess to perform it with Mewtwo so she can save it from the Shadow synergy stone
As Mewtwo gets stronger Battle Trainers in Ferrum begin to lose the ability to use Synergy Burst and the tournament is postponed
Anne takes you to a man named Walter who's part of the same clan and tells her that her brooch is part of a special synergy stone that stopped a similar incident in the past.
You go battling other members of her clan to charge the stone and then go after Shadow Mewtwo, Anne uses the energy collected in the stone to weaken the shadow stone.
While you're battling Anne gathers up more energy to give you a permanent burst for the last round and you defeat Shadow Mewtwo and separate the stone from him, Anne then gives Mewtwo to you to take care of.

>>25697481
>he didn't like the plot of stopping Team Rocket
Gas yourself.

>>25696286
I agree completely. Gens 4 and 5 came really close to totally ruining legendaries forever, between the power levels and the sheer amount of them.

>Meloetta

And even if they did have lore I don't give a fuck. Lore doesn't make a Pokemon. The ones in Gen 4 had lore behind them and they were still awful.

Legendary Pokemon are cool when they're few in number and properly concealed. When there's a shitload of them it becomes too unrealistic when people haven't decided to go out and catch them. After all, what trainer wouldn't want a legendary Pokemon on their team?

Gen 1 still did it best.

>>25697980
I was actually referring to Mew.

>>25698005
Changing the weather is really nothing much when Pokemon can learn moves and have abilities that do so. Groundon and Kyogre have a stronger version of that and even they can't compare to Dialga's ability to control time itself, much less to Arceus.
I'm not even sure which Pokemon you're referring to in the second part. Ho-oh? I don't think you should be able to catch him either, yes.

>>25699174
>Legendary Pokemon are cool when they're few in number and properly concealed.
HA no, that has nothing to do with a legend. That said there's always concealed legendary pokemon in each pokemon game and funnily enough gen 1 did the worst job at it especially with Moltres.

>When there's a shitload of them it becomes too unrealistic
Okay one, we have many, MANY legends in real life. The legends in one portion of the world may out number the number of pokemon we have now.
Two this is pokemon, it's inherently unrealistic with that said having multiple legends is ironically more realistic than not for the reasons stated above.
Three most trainers don't believe in the legendary Pokemon, don't know how to get to them. don't have the physical prowess or aren't given the challenge by the legendary pokemon. For example the guy inspecting the Regi caves in gen 3, he knows something is there but doesn't know how to get in, same deal for the spirits in Gen 4 until Galactic forced them open by blowing one of them up.

Also
>implying event pokemon are able to catch in game
>implying the lore of the Musketeers isn't spread throughout the region and shown in their locations in both games.

>Gen 1 still did it best
>having the legendaries sitting in areas that are easily accessible and where people can see legendary Pokemon through binoculars
Yeah sure.

>>25699315
>>having the legendaries sitting in areas that are easily accessible
More difficult than the "dungeons" we have today.

>>25699402
>More difficult than the "dungeons" we have today.
I hope you don't honestly think that when Zapdos was literally nothing and Moltres was just sitting there not too far from a trainer in victory road. Articuno was eh at best because it was a strength puzzle.
Mewtwo was just a test of patience rather than a challenge.

Regis are still the best handled Legendaries in terms of lore, theme, music, and puzzles. Though I don't care much for 'gigas.

>>25699871
>Music
Deoxys is better
>Lore
Literally any gen 4 legendary and a few others are better
>Theme
The gen 2 trio is better
>Puzzle
agreed

Considering that there's like 5000 real world deities, I'm not surprised each region has its own the same way each culture had its own.

>>25697578
Why keep Regigigas if you remove the Regis?

Back in my day, everyone who caught Mewtwo, USED Mewtwo

It was just a battle of who's Mewtwo fainted first

>>25696286
mewtwo THICK as fuck man

>>25702580
Gen 1 was fucking retarded.

oh boy, Mewtwo, Alakazam, Gengar and the three legendary birds, what an original team.

all levelled up to level 100 within the course of 15 minutes thanks to the missingno glitch, stats raised to max thirty minutes later.

>>25697552
The gyms and elite 4 are much worse for repetition. At least when Team Whatever use a big pokemon as a kill-stuff device, it at least feels like something's actually happening.

>>25702617

did it work?

and why not use a Mewtwo instead?

>>25696286
Wow, gen 4 really went all out, didn't it?

I agree.

>>25696286
lmoa karenfag genwunners at it again

>>25696286
Kalos only had six legendaries. I think the garbage Pokedex of Gen 4 along with the negative backlash of its excessive number of cross-gen evos and legendaries was what caused GameFreak to heavily tone it down in Gen 6.

>>25705189
>karenfag
I don't think you know what that term means.

>>25697277
>Only said in Pokedex entries.

So would you say that it's a legend?

>>25696286
wow, now that I've them all in one picture, I think the hoenn legendaries ore my favorite

Sinnohfags are the worst desu.

I try to forget that sinnoh, and the kids that plated it as their first game, exist.

>>25705321
the one time comfyanon doesn't sit right with me

>>25705344
Sorry...

>>25696849
At least YW had the right idea with the Legendaries, making them few, difficult to unlock, and all OP thus totally worth it.

>>25696286
This is like complaining that Mudslimes and Ancient Rome didn't have the same religion.

Genwunners are dumb as all fuck.

>>25705434

I'd much rather explore the "lore" and "plot" of a legendary mon in the post game rather than have to deal with it as a forced evil team plot.
Have some sort of story, maybe evil team maybe just a build up for post game, alongside your league roflstomp. Then, later, events boil over and we have a task fitting of a trainer that just punched the champion is his dick.

But thats just me.

>>25707046
>post game

Anon get your autism checked.

Opinion disregarded.

>>25696286

Diaomond and pear is where they jumped the fucking shark on legendaries. I mean look at that amount. Jesus christ.

>>25707086
Whats wrong with it? So what if there is alot who fucking cares there are many legends in human culture and thus many legendary creatures as well.

>>25707046
interesting, would it be a sort of followup to events set up in the plot or just an out of nowhere postgame quest?

>>25696286
The problem isn't the amount of legendaries. It's the fact that with every new game your character gets their dick sucked by everyone including legends. To a point where the legendary Pokemon want to be captured.

If I'm not mistaken the only check they do to mon's stats are if they pass some machine. I wish judges made more through checks into those sameish probably injected teams. They should know that even with SRs and synchro having perfect 6IV correct nature legends is bullshit in certain cases

>>25697184
If you're going to argue that, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos were thrown haphazardly in the game with even less lore. At least Regigigas actually has done things in canon and Heatran is explained as the guardian of Stark Mountain (and I guess by extension all volcanoes, given the different ones you can find it in). Shaymin is stated to go around purifying desolate lands and making it conducive for plants to grow there. Hell, the whole reason that Floaroma exists is because Shaymin purified the land it was on. Articuno is just a big blue bird that lives in a cave and freezes stuff.

>>25707844
>At least Regigigas actually has done things in canon
Literally the only lore for gigas is contained within the pokedex.

>Heatran is explained as the guardian of Stark Mountain (and I guess by extension all volcanoes, given the different ones you can find it in)
Literally your headcanon. None of this was ever stated.

>Hell, the whole reason that Floaroma exists is because Shaymin purified the land it was on.
More headcanon not within the game.
If you're going to try and argue know your shit before you jump on someone's argument retard.

there is literally nothing there to imply the entire universe is being recreated. its just a bunch of trippy shit you see while arceus makes an egg.

Have you actually talked to the people in that town anon? you need to go there to get shaymins flower.
