Why is pic related's gender known but most of the legendaries and mythical Pokémon don't have the same kind of information?
What made Game Freak spark their gender magic on Heatran?
Confused bumparino

to make attract heatran the new meta
I thought the idea behind not having a gender ratio for legendaries was that they are one Pokemon, so saying it's got a gender ration implies that its a species and not a single figure of legend. I guess Heatran is a legendary species that's super rare or nearly extinct, whereas mewtwo is a singular character like Reshiram or Palkia?

Canonically there's only like four Pokémon that there's only one of.
>>27572638
Is Mewtwo even one now after that movie?
>>27572638
That may only apply to the anime. But it's not such a crazy concept that it couldn't apply to the games.
The only Pokemon that have been firmy established as one-of-a-kind are the main Sinnoh legendaries and perhaps some of the Unova ones (?)

Arceus and the three dragons of gen 5??
>>27571637
I always figured that Heatran was originally meant to be a pseudo, but was turned into a legend later in the dev cycle and they just forgot to remove it's gender.

There is a Kanto Mewtwo and Kalos Mewtwo.

Arceus event in HGSS causes a baby Palkia/Dialga/Giratina to be born.
>>27573125
do they count? what about the extra copies arceus made in HGSS??
I think Heatran was never meant to be a legendary, but they couldn't find any other way to incorporate it into the game so they just rose its stats and called it a legendary.

Wait fuck, forgot about that
>>27573219
Should have been a second pseudo

Well, Shaymin's genderless, but they are a species, not just one unique pokemon.
>>27571637
it was originally intended to be a regular pokemon but was bumped to legendary status for whatever reason and the gender wasn't changed
