Are Legendary Pokemon Still "Legendary"?

[@JPRPokeTrainer98]

HAPPY JPR FRIDAY, what are your thoughts on modern Legendary Pokemon?

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

Well, overall I love modern Legendary Pokémon. Ogerpon, Koraidon and Terapagos are perfect.

[@a-ash666]

It depends, legendary like Kabfoo and Miraido/Coraidon don't feel like that. But then they also had legendary pokemon with them like ruin pokemon or crown thundra

[@KuroBlitz]

"scarcity creates value" is pretty much why legendaries feel pointless post ORAS since the game after it was GO

[@noviranger88]

They’re not Jeff Gordon levels of legendary.

[@Espurr.8]

My thoughts on modern legend pokemon are the same as the old one it just neat

[@esteban8471]

I like that recent generations are trying to get you emotionally invested in their legendaries. Zacian and Zamazenta choose to fight alongside you and Hop, you help Calyrex find their steed (they outright thank you and are happy to travel with you by the end of it), you and Koraidon/Miraidon go on a journey together that reaches a sentimental climax with the friends you've made, and you become good friends with Ogerpon. It almost feels like the Pokémon movies that gave you a reason to care about these Pokémon, not just because they were special and rare, but because they had stories and arcs. Sure, some like Terapagos don't always stick the landing (although it made for a fun climax), but I personally like this new narrative approach.

[@bigmemvb]

I loved my Zacian like a real dog, and Ogerpon is the first Pokémon I sought out merch of

[@LiamRockefeller-o5q]

Yea I like it to plus some legendaries felt less legendary when you can just catch them like why can I catch the god of time and honestly I hope this continues

[@N6LR0]

Terapagos is def S/V's weak link in terms of legendaries as characters but at least it adds interesting lore to the world. Like, Heatran just shows up w/o any real lore lmao

[@ZachaRicO]

I think the best executed ones so far are Solgaleo/Lunala and Koraidon/Miraidon.

[@Superstar5_]

I think “Legendary” nowadays means they are strong in battle and important to the plot, and not necessarily a judge of how “rare” they are.

Yeah, that argument pretty much sums it up.

[@sergioricardosantosdoamara5452]

Just a small correction, capturing Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti is 100% optional in the post-DLC/Game, you can't catch them during their boss battles and has to go look for them later on.

[@iTerra_]

And they aren't a guaranteed catch, I went through buckets of Dusk balls just to catch Okidogi.

[@ShayTheValiant]

How are they supposed to make Legendary Pokémon rare again when people can just Google how to get them, or even datamine the games?

[@kalosianporygon]

The fundamental problem about the "Legendary" label is the lack of conditions. To quote Bulbapedia: "No explicit criteria defines what makes a Pokémon a Legendary Pokémon. Instead, the only way to identify a Pokémon as belonging to this group is through statements from official media, such as the games or animation." No wonder the likes of Unown were thought to be Legendary.

[@dtell3424]

I think a main part of a legendary pokemon is that you are only able to catch one of it per save file like how in sword and shield you could only catch zacian, zamazenta, and eternatus only once per save file

[@AngelPerez-tu1nk]

I admit, I definitely can't deny that current Legendary Pokémon do not feel as grandiose as in past generations (though to be fair it's hard to top creator gods and elemental titans like the Hoenn trio). But I do firmly believe that current Legendary are still great mechanic and lore wise. Ogerpon's story is heartbreaking and I just wanna hug her, and Koraidon and Miraidon are badass. I will welcome grandiose world-ending Legendaries in games again though.

[@Kyle-zz6mx]

Could Eternatus be considered world-ending?

Did we forget that you can catch Koraidon or Miraidon in Area Zero after beating the Professor

[@BJGvideos]

And you can use it against Arven in the school tournament. Considering that it's the monster that killed his parent, I let him win. Against it anyway. I wiped him with the rest of my team. But I let him mollywhop the Guardian. It's the closest thing he's going to get to therapy.

[@Eldorriots]

11:59 I blame the VGC (especially Wolfe) 14:13 okay question answered, Boom(burst)er. Due note they are Shiny-Locked, so transferring from older gens warrant this

[@Nagatem]

If a Pokémon is very rare, very powerful, and has mythology surrounding them that affects a region in any way, I would say yes, they are still legendary as legends are still spread about them., The loyal three and ogrepon are prime examples as they are literally a legendary tale that has a whole festival dedicated to them

[@Diembee]

I’d really love if they brought say, half of the legendaries back and handled them like BW2. Even something as simple as “Put X legendary in a random, out of place area and have it do something.” Coming across Latios randomly in the Dreamyard and playing tag with it is one of my favorite memories in the game- there’s no lore reason for it being there but it acts as a great reward for exploring tucked away areas and gives the Lati Twins some personality. There’s also little things like Bianca studying heatran in reversal mountain, or the strange house ghost girl side quest, or the lake trio traveling to locations that fit their themes. These aren’t massive events, it’s like one or two pieces of dialogue and two things to do, but it shows that thought went into each mon’s implementation. Maybe in the next game you just encounter Kubfu training by itself in a tucked away forest, or maybe an NPC in a random town gives you a mysterious cursed tablet that you use in certain routes to reawaken the treasures of ruin. Hell, maybe Glastrier and Spectrier are being taken care of on some old secluded ranch owned by a super strong trainer, and if you beat them they’ll let you care for one of their horses. Just little things that go a long way.

[@robertlupa8273]

Kinda like SwSh had Cosmog being taken care of by someone in the Crown Tundra?

[@Lithosagymfan173]

Legendary Pokémon are actuallyrelevent characters in the story now, instead of being McGuffins to find and be done over, plus, they're still very, very, VERY strong(Koraidon is rumored to have split the land with his bare fists, theorically the Crater leading to Area Zero).

[@BJGvideos]

Wasn't the crater caused by a meteor? Or by seismic activity?

[@jvbon646]

The Crater was created by a meteorite millions of years ago

[@castform7]

I just love how quirky the Regis are. Something's always up with them and it's always pretty neat.

[@clothieredward5248]

I don't believe the issue with legendaries is that there are too many or that they have story beats. Quite the opposite, I really like the amount of diverse Pokemon that serve as these rare and powerful creatures and I really like the ones that have story beats to them (especially those that are pulled off well). The real issue with legendaries is that too many legendaries don't have anything interesting to in the games they're in. Most returning legendaries are just slapped into some new mechanic such as the Ultra Space Ride or the Snacksworth quests without anything interesting to do other than battling them and catching them. There is no mystery surrounding these powerful Pokemon. There are no dungeons or puzzles you have to go through before encountering them. There aren't many story beats for these legendaries (especially not the returning legendaries). All of these things, I hope they return in a future Pokemon game, one way or another.

[@BJGvideos]

It would eliminate a lot of mons from that as well. As I said in my comment, what makes the legendary birds so special? They've never been all that lore-heavy.

''Once every Pokémon is legendary, no Pokémon will be legendary.'' Syndrome ( Incredibles movie 2004)

[@bdt2002gaming]

The Pokémon Ranger games are pretty good examples of how to do Legendary Pokémon right. Yeah, yeah, take it from the guy with Ukulele Pichu as his profile picture, but for the most part the trilogy spreads them around their regions in ways that actually make sense within each game’s context, and a few of them are actually pretty challenging for first-time players. Above all else, I just like that it’s the player him or herself fighting these Pokémon for a change, as opposed to “send out your trained team members and throw Poké Balls until you get lucky”.

[@cin2110]

Since Gen 7 every plot relevant Pokemon is a legendary. Even the UBs are a subgroup of Legendaries in the code. Some deserve it, like the Island Guardians, which is quite a special role, some dont, like Type:Null. Its especially noticeable in the DLCs. Kubfu and the horse could easiy be just rare strong Pokemon. But legendaries boost DLC sales I guess. Finally someone who acknowledges the ruin maniacs near the Regis!

Unfortunately, the internet and social media have ruined surprise in media. Trailers show the whole plot, leaks ruin game, etc. There were so many things to just stumble upon in Red and Blue. Now, the entire story of a game is out before anyone even plays it.

[@MrRuePine]

Surprise was already "ruined" on games ever since they became a thing anyways. Weren't there stuff like game manuals with the old games which also showed the story and the characters? Game trailers are no different.

[@MrRuePine]

​​@@WiGgYof09 Wrong. Game manuals use to come with lots of NES, SNES, Sega Genesis games, etc. inside the box of the game. You literally needed to read them in order to know how to play the game correctly, as they did not have "tutorials", and they also had the story of the game on them. And if you remember correctly, none of the games' official trailers ever told you the bosses of the game, the final boss, ending, post game content.

I don't remember the game trailers ever showing the whole plot of these games. I've seen it happen with anime episodes though.

[@ashenwolf98]

As an idea, what if in the next generation of games, you get access to a good majority of the past legendaries, but are limited in how many you can catch per save file? The way I see it happening would be as part of a sidequest where you make choices that determine which legendaries will spawn (let’s say 5 for sake of argument), and then the 5 legendaries decided upon by your choices will spawn in respective dungeons/side areas for you to find, battle, and catch. In order to catch any further ones, you would have to make a new save and play the game again.

[@jarman_2000]

My legendary Pokémon blackpill was when gamefreak changed Rotom's legendary/mythical status. I remember Rotom feeling like a mythical the way it was introduced in Platinum (I did the WIfi event and everything). Then when I drifted away from pokemon and came back by gen. 7, and Rotom was EVERYWHERE.

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

I loved the idea of using Koraidon and Miraidon as all-purpose vehicles at first, but there’s one massive problem with this design choice. You can’t battle with them unless you put them in your party, and while they’re in the party you can’t ride them. Did they seriously not see the problem with this?! I almost never put Koraidon in my party because of this because the map is specifically designed for you to be riding it at all times! Sure they let you catch the second one in post game, but most people are going to be smart and trade it to get the other version’s dragon bike, so that doesn’t solve the problem at all.

[@ZachaRicO]

With Generation 10 on the horizon, if only very faintly visible, I hope that if Game Freak decides to include all the legends again (they probably will), they don't just copy and paste them like they have in the last few generations and handle them more like they did in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where they tried to make every legendary encounter in the game unique. Given that Generation 10 will release somewhere around Pokemon's 30th anniversary, it would make a lot of sense to do that and take fans new and old down memory lane by showing each of these Pokemon's history in the series.

[@annarenfold438]

I think the recent trend of every legendary possible in the modern games is a double edged sword. For one, it allows regular people to get "box" legendaries from games they can no longer play, they can't own or can't afford to get. It makes it so most people are able to trade these pokémon for Pokédex completion or other similar in-game rewards. And it allows everyone a shot at beating the battle towers and other endgame challenges even without spending the time required to build a "viable" team. Even just trying to get the right nature can be a nightmare, but add egg moves or gender-locked evolutions and it's way too much for some endgame rewards most people are not gonna use. On the other hand, it just means you will see more and more people using legendary pokémon everywhere. Be it to finish the story, compete with friends or just to hunt for shinies or otherwise rare pokémon. This either makes teams more varied or even more repetitive. And sure, you can say this also makes them "less legendary" but I think it's perfectly fine that more people have them; even if in-game the encounters are underwhelming or frustrating (roaming beasts, low catch rates, shiny-hunting). To me, it has allowed me to get legendaries I'd never be able to get otherwise. Yet, the mythical Pokémon are another story. They gift you some like in BDSP if you have some other game's savefile in your console. But most of them are still locked behind in-game events that will never trigger officially anymore or movie events exclusive to specific regions (there are still tons of monsters locked to Asian locations). You don't see Nintendo putting them in the games often.

[@ladypool1404]

I like to explore a cave, do a few puzzles and then fight the legendary. It's challenging but fun and him becoming my friend is great! Zacian and Zamazenta only helped the trainer at the end, the small bear was given by a grandpa, Kyogre and all the other legendaries stand in one place in Scarlet and Violet. It's too easy to find them and there's no adventure 😐

[@villainkaiju]

I'd argue that the general stance of Legendary Pokemon lands more on how dissapointing newer generations like Gen 8 and 9 just come to be, especially within it's design complex. We literally had three Kaiju monsters within Sinnoh and Unova, while in recent games they just hand you a normal blue turtle in Gen 9 after you literally get Ogerpon in Teal Mask. ( a better legendary IMO for being a powerhouse )

[@bbro43]

I honestly catch the legendary for the Pokédex then box it anymore. I think Scarlet & Violet would have been better off giving trainers a starter and then at the academy having Nemona trade you a Cyclizar. Then as your Cyclizar ate the herba mystica and then gets exposed to the time machine, have them unlock a rare lost/not yet discovered evolution into the box legendary.

[@castform7]

I am personally very tired of having every Legendary plopped into a just to catch. No challenge, no mystique, it doesn't even make sense lore wise for some of them. It's just so boring and feels like they straight up don't care about a Pokemon's significance after the initial game they were introduced in.

[@zackaryw8407]

I feel like if you can’t have every Pokémon from every region in a Pokémon game, you don’t get to put every past legendary in your game. If I can’t have Togedemaru, I don’t want Yveltal. If I can’t have Beeheeyem, I don’t want Regigigas.

[@dtell3424]

I don't get why some people thinl that the paradox pokemon are legendary pokemon. I think legendary and mythical pokemon are ones that are really strong, but also you can only catch one of per playthrough, and while paradox mons are powerful, you can catch as many of them as you want per play through

[@bacd-nn2lg]

The pseudo-legendary pokemon are truly the true legendaries, since they are so few of them in all 9 generations (even mythical pokemon are getting value downgraded with each generation). The legendaries pokemon are losing its worth with each new generation, since we are getting so many of them. I think that Game Freak should decrease the number of new legendaries to just one per new pokemon generation games.

[@BJGvideos]

I don't know what being part of the plot has to do with being seen as legendary or not. I don't get what you're saying. Something having a puzzle to it doesn't make something more impactful than being part of their story. Like, the legendary birds, what makes them legendary? They're big? What are their stories? People point to the anime but one, that came years after the original games, and two, the Shamouti birds are said to be larger and more powerful than others of their species. So what makes the rest of the species so special? Also, the paradox dragon didn't regain its true power to fight the AI professor. It regained its power to fight the other of its species, the one that killed the real professor. It was finally able to fight back and protect its friends, something it couldn't do before. And some parts of the world just flat out have more legends and stories about special creatures than others. Frankly it's rather realistic.

[@Zoroark_Master]

1.legendary are kinda deities and there’s a lot of deities depicted in the real world (do you know how many Greek gods there is) so i never say the "there’s to many legendary" as a problem (you don’t see historians or archeologists complaining about to many gods in folklore) 2.dumping most or all past legendary in the new game without anything interesting is definitely better than not adding them period (if i want to use one of them, would be difficult without them being obtainable in game) with so many, you can’t expect each to have some unique dungeon/puzzle to go trough to get them

[@matthewstockhausen]

I get they know that each game will always be someone's first. And im sure its also a measure against hacking to make most legendaries available. Potentially knowing that legends sell. But most legendary pokemon being available is kinda ridiculous. I would say make sure each one has an appearance in each trade able region.

[@onetallpheeesh]

I 100% agree with you on everything you said this video, which is rare for me 😂 the Regis and the Ruins are the best handled legendaries in game for sure.

[@N6LR0]

I actually think S/V did legendaries the best since Gen V (speaking as a fan who started with RBY) because it was the first time since B/W & B2/W2 that I cared about the legendaries. The box legendary actually feels like a character -- the scooby to your lil squad -- that goes through an arc; the Treasures of Ruin feel like a more streamlined version of the Regis where they feel like "legends," i.e. something you stumble upon that only a few people know about and isn't a part of the main story; and Ogerpon and the Loyal Three are just a good, self-contained folktale cast who I'm invested in as characters BECAUSE we see the "legend" play out and compliment Kieran and Carmine's stories and arcs. Terapagos is probably the least interesting legendary in S/V lol but its saving grace is the lore it adds to the story -- such as the bonus scene at the crystal lake that really puts the paradox in paradox pokemon. I think Game Freak needs to make me care about the legendaries as characters (Koraidon/Miraidon, Ogerpon, Loyal Three) AND as legends (Regi Trio, Treasures of Ruin, the legendaries and mythicals included in PLA) in the same game (not necessarily with the same legendary). Like, it's cool to have a special relationship with the box legendary but it's also cool to strumble upon an underwater chamber or sealed shrines that may be hinted at by NPCs or even the main story lore (such as how the weird floor pattern in an Area Zero cave relates to the locations of the Treasures of Ruin) but aren't required to catch or encounter in the main story. Also, I think I rather have the previous legendaries as DLC rewards than the previous model of getting like one of a trio based on your starter that randomly roams the map after entering the hall of fame. Scarcity is cool, but scarcity for past legends can feel super tedious, especially when trying to trade up legendaries from older games is so expensive b/c of the secondhand market.

[@returnofskurk1633]

Legendaries have changed since the very first games. Mewtwo was a manmade Pokemon, and basically just had higher stats than other mons. That was the main draw. Nowadays the need broken stats and abilities, meanwhile the previous mons are left with fodder abilities for 0 logical reasons. I actually dislike Groudon and Kyogre more for starting this trend, especially because the next 2 generations actually tried to reel back what they did with Gen 3, only to go "ah, we can't stop it" with gen 6 onwards.

[@DrakeSilver]

legendary pokemon really are just "that pokemon you only see once and never again that's tucked in some really out of place thing where it really doesn't look like it belongs!" nowadays... which makes them be nearly indistinguishable from mythic pokemon. Miraidon and Koraidon are good since it is a different way of interacting with a legendary but i am really getting tired of the whole "every single pokemon must be in the game so we'll just cram them in areas where they might not even belong!" I really think GF should just make every pokemon feel more exclusive. Like games should only have around... 300-400 pokemon in them that you can actually catch with the rest being obtainable through trading. You can then just exchange which pokemon are easily available without the need for trading in each game, allowing certain pokemon to see the light of day more often (like when was the last time the oddish and bellsprout line was a thing for instance?)

What is a legendary? Remove palkia, dialga and giratina, legendary pokemon are only very rare pokemon, not gods. Honestly i agree with some actual critics for pokémon, but had some things than to me, is just a bunch of adult crying because the time changed. Mewtwo in the games isn't that greatest legendary of all time, he is just cool, not a really good legendary, because he not has connection with history, or importance, is just to complete pokedex, he not had a importance in the qorld like rayquaza, is just mew's clone, a truly overrated pokemon. Now has legendary with evolution lines, koraidon and miraidon create a bond with you in the entire game. But no, mew clone is a true legendary... pokémon fandom is a bunch of baby in sometimes If you see the definition of legendary, is something who came from legends, legends like greek mythology, folkloric histories, only that, and mythicals are legends than a people say "at 33 years ago, i see marshadow in my plant of berries", so, what does a legendary pokemon? In truth, to the fandom, what is a legendary?

I don’t mind having the new legendaries being more plot relevant especially sense their on the cover you would expect them to be seen more then the butt end of the story. And while I understand bringing only legendaries in new game may remove the importance I don’t think it’s that bad sense every region has its own stories and as much as I like Miriadon I don’t think it needs murals or a story about it in a region it didn’t originate in as it would lessen the value of the Pokémon that are actually from there.

Imagine if instead, all the legendaries had a weird method to make them appear, just, just leave them on field, but AFTER we solve the weird puzzle.

"Let's break down what makes a Legendary Pokemon Legendary" Nothing. The answer is nothing. There is zero criteria defining them, there's no guidelines or rules, or anything in the games that helps us tell between Legendary and nonLegendary. There's only VAGUE similarities shared among most of them, but for every single Rule you try to come up, there's always at least 1 exception. They are more like generalizations. The only way to know it for sure is to have it confirmed by GF or TPC officially

[@shadowmarauder6033]

I pretty much agree with all your points, but I'll add one more that most people don't seem to consider: many of these new legendary pokemon DON'T EVEN HAVE LEGENDS ABOUT THEM. Seriously, look at the Type: null line, Koraidon, Miraidon, Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde. When it comes to the games, they have very little to no lore at all, and as a fan of lore & stories it personally frustrates me to no end. This is worse with mythical, with almost each one from gen 6 onwards having just a small description of their powers but no real lore, no stories about what makes them creatures of mythology. At least gen 9 rectified that with Pecharunt, so lets hope it improves in the future.

Null has every lore. Read the notebooks in Faba's lab

[@shadowmarauder6033]

Yes Anyone saying no clearly knows nothing about Japan and it's religions, they have gods for EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE and Pokemon IS a Japanese IP

I find it funny how the weakest box legends in terms lore are probably the strongest in terms of Gameplay 🥪🦎

[@JustSomeMexicanwithaMustache]

Look at this guy still stuck in the past using Ash. If JPR wanted to attract newer viewers he should have put Liko on his thumbnail.

[@Superstar5_]

Because Ash is still REALLY popular.

[@lightyoshiman]

To be fair ash is a huge icon for pokemon so liko has a long way to go (assuming she's still the protagonist after gen9 ends)

[@Teamneoplasmaghetsis]

bro does it really matter?

[@AdminAbuse]

Who

[@JustSomeMexicanwithaMustache]

@@AdminAbuse Ah come on man. I know Ash has been almost gone for 2 years now, but how could you forget about the guy who was the main character of the anime for the past 25 years. Kids these days.
