But how did Ethan get his own personal creator god? He already had to get his hands on Arceus through some unknown non-canon means, then take it to an obscure area that people don't stick around for very long, and have the craziest acid trip in the history of Pokemon, scarring him for life but giving him dominion over Time/Space/Antimatter.
Legendary Pokemon should've stayed just that, and it's part of the massive lore problem that started in Gen 3. It poisoned the aura of discovery, of saying "hey, these are some interesting creatures we're finding and we have no idea what the heck they are, go out and get info for us," by saying "actually they were totally here the whole time and created the universe and we also worship them now and by now i mean we always have."
It even spills over into most fangames. How many fangames have a main story revolving around legendaries? Heck, Insurgence is literally "Yeah, all us Evil Teams got our hands on gods all at once, what now?" and I'm scared to think GF actually might try that sort of thing outside of the Hoopa movie one day.
You sought out legendary Pokemon before. You had to do some crazy stuff to find them, do optional areas and dungeons that you just plain wouldn't have done otherwise, and you could just skip them if you wanted.
Then on top of it all, BW comes around and it's like "yeah, you're stuck using Box Legendary in this fight."
Actually, if you really want to count it, Crystal version started this whole mess - Kris was definitely Suicune's chosen one, but that entire plot went literally nowhere, and had nothing to do with the evil teams or main plot of the game, it felt more like "Yeah, I want to face you in ritual combat and maybe train under you" kind of like Tapu Koko did later.
Pic related only because I'm very tired and for some reason decided to go on this rant in the first place and probably missed something.
