>>14875838The general opinion is stupid.
The only problem with amount of legendaries is if there's a lot introduced when there aren't enough new Pokemon introduced. IV messed up because it had barely any new Pokemon by the time you subtracted legendaries, starters, and evolutions/babies of old stuff. Comparatively, V used the exact same amount of legendaries, but because there were a LOT of new Pokemon in addition to them, it evened out.
Thus, it's not about how many legendaries there are - it's about how many regulars there are to keep them looking special.
