Why are they legendary?

>>26778732
Because Zapatos deserve your respect.

>>26778732
headcannon: articuno signifies winter, moltres spring, zapdos summer and...

idk who represents autumn, maybe all of them at once

>>26778844
>moltres spring, zapdos summer
??????????????

>>26778860
Summer's generally the season with the most thunder.

>Gen 1
>Pokémon Red
>Pokémon Blue
>Pokémon Yellow

>>26778879
okay when did this copypasta got born
fuck you anon. that's not what I would say.

>>26778879
This was written by that failed leak tripfag, isn't it?

>>26778884
>what is pokemon green

>>26778896
Like last week

>>26778732
The anime told of Articuno being a guide for those lost in blizzards and snowstorms in mountains so the other two might have a similar purpose. I'm sure being saved by a giant bird guide would make for a good story so it might have been passed down as legend.

Though this is anime lore so it might not be exactly how it is in the games.

Sure, let's go with that.

>>26778896
It was from a thread about Lumoise City iirc

Obviously Zapdos is actually good and the other two are garbage.

Who do you think is worse, Articuno or Moltres?

>>26778948
it's definitely not "since last week" - try years. For some reason it's become hugely popular again. You used to see it eeeeeeeeevery day, this isn't the only pasta for it though.

>>26779362
Yet nobody managed to find anything that preceded it
give source

>>26779362
why would you go on the internet and lie?

>>26779358
Well Moltres could kill Articuno, but Moltres is fucking garbage, it's stupid looking and nobody likes it.

Articuno is a majestic as fuck bird and has a design on par with Zapdos and Lugia. Ho-Oh and Moltres can suck a dick.

Hmmm...actually, I have no reason. Everything about them can be applied to any other pokemon.

Ordinary pokemon have legends, too.

DELETE THIS

>>26778732
Because GF thought it would be a cool idea to make elemental birds and put only one of them each in the games.

>>26780127
Legends do not have to appear in groups and there are more than legends that there are only one of in the game.

The represent the power of nature.

Aritcuno represents ice and snowstorms.
Zapdos represents lightning and thunderstorms.
Moltres represents fire and wildfires.

Together the represent Mozart being alive

>>26778732
Because they aren't often seen, leading people to question whether they're even real at all, or just myths, just legends.

>>26780324
Yet apparently rotoms are common enough.

I actually thought it was legendary for the longest time

>>26780324
I thought this was the description of mythicals, not legendaries.

>>26780410
It is. That poster is lying on the internet.

>>26780116
Nah.
>>26780348
Rotom was a fuck-up on musical side.

I mean, does Shaymin have any special theme?

>>26778959
Blaine was saved by a Moltres

Maybe Zapdos guides ships through sea storms

>>26780477
I actually think Rotom was meant to be a legendary at first, at least in Diamond and Pearl, then they just changed their mind. There's no other reason for it to be like it is.

>>26780449
Well, this description CAN fit legendaries, too, but there is one important factor that separates them. Legends can still be caught, but mythicals cannot. You never could. You can only be given a mythical, you never catch it.

>>26780566
Deoxys, Shaymin, Darkrai.

>>26780585
Deoxys is no longer a mythical, but a legendary. You have a point on the others. I forgot at one point, catchable mythicals did exist.

Nigger what?

>>26780604
...and no, I never "caught" a mythical. The events never happened in my area, or it would've been too much trouble to get it myself. I was not able to get mythicals until they started distributing them via wifi.

>>26780643
You could catch Deoxys on Birth Island in Gen 3.

>>26778879
Kek it was a bait since the Start.
I see what you did there, well done.

>>26780662

Not who you replied to but personally i saw that copypasta months ago so it's definitely not new.

>>26780743

>>26780763
Oh yes Anon let me just show you my memories!
Seriously do you think i screenshot every single copypasta i see? I just recall reading that exact pasta something like four-five months ago on...i think /co/ maaaaaaybe /pol/

>>26780786
>browsing /pol/
Go back there and don't ever come back.

Maybe it's from back before legendaries had to be some kind of divine omnipotent being, and they were just special one of a kind pokemon.

Not even a "much genwun thing". Legendaries going from just mythical creatures to literal gods of various aspects is probably one of the only things I don't like about the gens past 2.

>>26780892
I don't think any of the legends are omnipotent. I think they run on the idea that gods are flawed, too. In which case, they are little more than overgrown versions of other pokemon.

>>26780786
>>26779362
I seriously think this is so funny. I literally wrote that copypasta myself.

Because back then legendary pokemon were just rare, elusive, mysterious creatures, not pokegods of time and space and good and evil that a 10 year old can enslave.

Generation 1 is not that good to begin with.

rarity and power

>>26782140
got to it before i did
they were just pokemon that were rarely seen, had cool stories surrounding them, and were a bit more powerful than the rest.
not creators of the universe or masters of time and space.

They aren't legendary. In Japan they are called the winged mirages... because they have wings, and are rarely (if ever) seen.

They were flying around when people were running around with rattata in their pockets, and like what was said Freezer brought the cold Thunder storms and the heat>>26782127
Didn't you see the second pokémon movie

>>26778732
Because they are the fucking fire, the fucking ice and the fucking electricity who can control the fucking weather because magical shit

Because Zapdos and Articuno are cool as fuck. Moltres is really ugly though and should get a Mega to fix it like Pidgeot.

lol'd

>>26783192
To me, the key part of this is the syntax. It's not "still be alive" but "be still alive". It gives that extra bit of insanity if you're a native english speaker

>>26783192
Mozart is obviously dead and there's no way I could live that long...

Yeah except the only "divine omnipotents beings" are only four and only in gen 4. Not to mention the legendary in gen 2 is still the only one with the supreme power of resurrecting the dead, something that not even the god Pokemon itself can do.

90% of legendaries are just powerful creatures and that still applies today

>>26787004
Because the Kanto people are too retarded to apply a fire stone to their Growlithe.
