What's going on with the legendaries?

i think its so dumb how there are soo many legendary pokemons!!
also, i prefare gen 1 and 2 pokemons, they get to cartoonish after that

Some of the 1st and 2nd gen were a little cartoonish tooBut this doesn't compete with now

pokemon were always cartoonish, especially compared with other monsters like digimon or yugioh or spectrobes et al. Pokemon always had a more cute n snuggly quality to them until recently.

Is it just me? Or is there no pre-evolutions or evolutions for Pokemon in previous series? Every Pokemon gen had that until now....they introduce a bunch of Ben 10's aliens.When I first saw Yooterii, I thought YES!!! a pre evolution of growlithe.

Yet it still sells for millions...

Did you notice the eyes on Wobbuffet's tail? How it became nocturnal to protect its tail? How its body can be puffed up? What if its tail WAS the Wobbuffet, and the body we see is just a decoy?

pokemon is a part of our culture now lol. when u think of electricity, you think of pikachu lol.i feel as if these design werent given a second thought.. they dont appeal to me very much at all.. i mean a pokemon modeled after icecream? come on nintendo ! sure its cute, but just overall akward. pokemon shouldnt be modeled after food.

i don't know.....once you play the game often they look better and to me they match the region, BUT! some of them has good moves and are prefect with there type like the Water/Ground type frog pokemon good type, good moves, but just looking at it from the back was kinda freaking me out, just wish the grass starter final form looked like a dragon and it was grass/dragon type.Plus i've ben with pokemon ever since silver and gold first came out but i like the story better and the music better, but its too short finished it within a day, wish you could have taken a plane and fly to some islands and do something, still a fan of sliver and gold

Agreed. I prefer entirely new looking mons. I for one like the new designs, and surprisingly, I sort of dislike the 1st generation for having waaaay to simplistic designs. Take Electrode, Ponyta, Voltrob, Psyduck, Persian, Geodude, and countless others.

Whats the icecream one called , i cant find it?

everytime a new game comes out i try to make a team with first and second gen pokemon.the best legendaries are articuno, zapdos, moltres (not so much), mewtwo, mew,.. lugia, ho-oh (not so much), latios/latias, kyogre and groudon.

Gah, you put the godawful Groudon on the list.
My favorite are Articuno, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Jirachi, Dialgia, Reshiram, Genosect, and .....Arceus (freaking awesome God of Pokemon)

legendaries were based off of mythical creatures like ho-oh as phoenix, lugia as a sea dragon etc. when the devs ran out of ideas of mythical creatures as remakes for pokemon, they decided to go for the gods. they remade dialga and palkia as japanese shinigami (death gods).
