We all know the story of the Brass Tower: 150 years ago, lightning struck the tower, and it was burnt down. Three pokemonwere killed in the fire, and Ho-Oh resurrectedthem to become Entei, Raikou, and Suicune. Many people believe it was a freak accident, but what if I told you Lugia was actually responsible for this?
The GSC pokedex entry for Lugia claims it lives at the bottom of the sea because it's too strong for its own good, and that it's usually spotted during a storm.
The DPPT pokedex claims it's capable of creating a 40 day storm with the flap of its wings.
See where I'm going with this?
Many people forget that Lugia actually LIVED on Brass Tower, like Ho-Oh LIVES on the Bell Tower. The only reason why Lugia LEFT to live at WHIRL ISLANDS is because IT ACCIDENTALLY CAUSED A STORM AND BURNED DOWN ITS HOME, KILLING THREE POKEMON IN THE PROCESS.
You have to give Masuda-san his props. Gen 2 is more than just Gen 1 part 2, it's a story about life and death. The DEATH of Team Rocket and its REBIRTH? The DEATH (metaphorically) of Red and the BIRTH of a NEW POKEMON LEGEND GOLD???
Lugia represents death. Ho-Oh represents rebirth. They are two sides of the same coin. Yin and Yang. The original Xerneas and the other guy.
Lugia is more than just "Kyorgebut psychic", he's the antithesis of Ho-Oh.
