Now when I look better at it could be confused for a Fakemon.
>>54398165The anime implies thatr there are several versions of some legendary Pokemon. Noland had an Articuno. Brandon had three Regis. There were several Lugias. There were several Darkrais it seems. Even in the games there seem to be multiple Dialgas, Palkias and Giratinas because Arceus can create them.
Maybe with Manaphy and Heatran Gamefreak tried to make the legendary Pokemon more like normal Pokemon but then abondened the idea?
