>only 2 new legendaries catchable in-game through normal means

I just don't understand. Sure, Gen IV was retarded and we needed a step back from that. But 2? Not even a fucking trio? A good amount of the post-game fun was tracking down the legendaries in their caves/forests/etc. Finding the birds and Mewtwo, finding the Regis and Rayquaza- that was a big part of what I enjoyed.

And even beyond us, what about the casual audience? They fucking love legendaries. I just can't understand GameFreak's rationale here. It's literally just cover legend + Zygarde.
