>>28372460>>28372492>>28372539Gen 4 only had a lot of Legendaries because it was the Region thematically built around mythology. I can give it an excuse. Especially because the Legends were actually cool. I mean you get PokéGods, Darkrai, Manaphy (which I always loved that it was obtained in the Spin Off Ranger game)
But Gen 5 has literally no excuse. They shoved Legendaries down our throats for literally no reason other than the fact that they had a bigger-than-usual Dex, and the kids eat Legendaries up. They had a grand total of fucking FOUR Mythical Pokémon, and TWO Trios. The Genies didn't even bring new lore to the table because we already have Legendaries themed around thunderstorms and weather and shit, like Raikou.
Gen 6 did indeed, thankfully, acknowledge they had gone too far, which is why they re-used Mewtwo/Kanto birds, and S/M is re-using Zygarde/possibly other classic Legends, as opposed to adding too many more new ones.
>>28372492Also Gen 4's plot was basically just Gen 3's plot, but with most of the retarded shit cut out, and replaced with more interesting and enjoyable story and battles, so yeah, they did achieve outdoing Gen 3 IMO>>28372447Heatran isn't Legendary. By Black 2/White 2, it was pretty much just shrugged off as a rare Pokémon that a formed in Volcanoes.
