>>58938013while I agree that making literal Gods akin to greek myths into Pokemon was jumping the shark, I do feel like they handled the following generations pretty well.
More legendaries should be like Unova & Galar box legends, where they're just special powerful pokemon who are mostly only significant to the region they are in.
Legendaries like Arceus are really strange because why does Sinnoh specifically honor him? Why does not a single other region think to make some Spear pillar type of shrine for the literal God of the world?
All that said, i do like their designs, so I can't complain too much, plus PLA retconning Arceus to be a "piece" of God rather than straight up God did help things.
