It is because in order to catch Zapdos in that game you have encounter it at least 12 times and go to the Sea Spirit's den to catch it.

I was shocked when he found Zapdos so fast, but it was just him activating the legendary bird quest in X and Y. 😂😂😂

Favorite legend? Reshiram, hands down. My first game was Black 1 in 2016 and I bought the game with no knowledge of how to play it. I fell in love with the story and was honestly worried about N getting control of Zekrom, who I naively thought was what I would get in Black. When I saw that black dragon roaring and basically taunting me and my ragtag team of Samurott, Zebstrika, Darmanitan, Unfezant, Cofagrigus, and Scolipede, I felt like I was going up against a monster. When I realized why I had to beat N, the thing that lingered in my mind was what if I lose to N and Zekrom? Would all my pokemon be lost? That and N and everyone else kept telling me that I too would be in control of a legendary, but I knew of only Zekrom and had not heard of the Swords of Justice or the genies, so the pressure kept rising. I was extremely worried when I got to the elite 4 and had to beat them just to get to N. That shot of the castle rising from nowhere will forever be in my head. I was at my lowest when time after time my team would barely make it out alive against the ever-strengthening grunts and the scary elite 4, I was alone in a way: nobody else played pokemon and I felt I knew that Zekrom was going to kill me. I finally get to N's room and watch in horror as Zekrom burst through that wall. His roar is probably the scariest one in gen 5, even to this day in modern times. I was about to be struck by a lightning bolt from this evil dragon. Then, a light shimmered. Popping out of my bag was that little white rock that I had not paid any mind, and what came out of it was the most beautiful dragon I'd ever seen. Reshiram. Those big blue eyes, flowing white hair, elongated light wings, and humongous flaring tail. Then it shrieked to the sky. I won't lie, I thought Reshiram's yell in gen 5 was a choir singing. It was in front of me all along in the main menu and I never thought of this beast being mine. I was so wrong. N told me to catch this dragon, and I was extremely hesitant, this dragon stared at me with it's back to N and Zekrom looming behind it. I did not hesitate to try to speak to it, then it shrieked, then a battle. I didn't know what type Reshiram was other than Dragon, until it used Fusion Flare and crit killed my Cofagrigus. I instantly send my Samurott in to try to Surf it down while the beast used Dragon Breath for what felt like ages. I finally catch the dragon, then in horror I know what will happen next. N heals me, then me and this new dragon I had just gone to war against is up against a living breathing lightning cloud. Zekrom comes out with a roar, and Reshiram shrieks in. I am terrified as I never fought Zekrom before. I switch Reshiram out as I think that Zekrom would go into a Dragon attack, and I lead with Darmanitan hoping to use Bulldoze to weaken it (yes i was stupid and didn't know Sheer Force removed the speed debuff) only for this black as night monster to use Fusion Bolt and oneshot my Darmanitan. I switch back into Reshiram knowing the rest of my team is going to be walloped by Zekrom, and Reshiram was the only one strong enough to take it on. I use Extrasensory to test to see which of us was faster, and Reshiram flinches Zekrom. Immediately I knew Reshiram was marginally faster, and defeated Zekrom with Dragon Breath. Me and Reshiram alone would beat N with Reshiram living on 1 hp by the end of it. Then, Ghetsis came. The mastermind himself. Not gonna lie, I couldn't beat him, no matter how many times I tried. So I trained, but I was not afraid. Ghetsis did not scare me as much as Zekrom did, and Zekrom was defeated. It would be a while before the rematch, so I got to know my Reshiram better. Named it Heavenfire, it was naive, liked to thrash about, and had Dragon Pulse, Extrasensory, Slash, and Fusion Flare when I got done training. After defeating Ghetsis and finding my first Kyurem, Subzero, I knew that me and my Reshiram had more to do than just defeat Alder and become champion. It is 2022 now, I bought Black 2 two years ago and caught Zekrom, Hellstorm, and my second Kyurem, Zero. I had refrained from using my Reshiram via trading it to my Black 2 and waited right to the end to have it Blue Flare Ghetsis' Black Kyurem into oblivion. Black 2 is where Reshiram currently resides, as I haven't played Black 1 in ages. Of all my Pokémon, even now with 11 games and soon to be 12 when Scarlet releases, even after getting 160 shiny pokemon across all my games, even after bonding with every starter and legendary across them all, my original Black Reshiram will always be my partner. No legendary gave me more hope or felt happier as a trainer than Reshiram. The closest one after that was my Platinum Giratina, Mausoleum. After conquering Platinum with my Infernape and catching Dialga and Palkia, and the slew of legends that game held, I sent Giratina to my SoulSilver to help me. Even if my Giratina was only 52 when I sent it, SoulSilver was hard as hell to beat, even with the help of my Typhlosion and Lugia. I came to appreciate Giratina after seeing this behemoth that is the equivalent to the embodiment of evil, playing games and acting adorable. So my choices are either Reshiram for giving me hope, or Giratina for memories.

[@zakahmed7925]

What a story.

[@darrickkoko2987]

Cool essay

[@Nord-nx8np]

I love this so much. Using all the gens is genius. Also kinda like a mini Gen race and I’m here for it.

[@denniscolburn65]

Anything united plays does is genius

[@AstroidmaniaVideos]

My favorite legendary is Mespirit. No I won’t elaborate further and Tobin is better than me

[@Matt_Finn]

Love the different kinds of contests you have been doing lately. Keeps things fresh. W for poor Tobin as well lol

[@skylwer]

Love Rayquaza the most. It wasn't my first pokmone game but the snakelike appearance and just how cool and different he looked was incredible as a kid.

[@jimmiepopplays]

Great concept! You should 100% do this again, but no duplicates 👍

[@k-conn2266]

FAVORITE LEGENDARY: It, ok so a lot of them are beautiful, but my favorite is the one and only Beast of the Sea, Lugia. The Movie 2000 is when I first saw the majestic creature and heard its melodic song. It has held a place in my heart since childhood.

[@electrode7235]

My favourite legendary has to be Kyurem... the form changes, the fusion, the type... everything is perfect about it

[@RadiantAether]

I just wish Kyurem-B had better moves if it did it would probably be my favorite legend over kyogre.

[@Codieno07]

This is such a fun video idea! Hopefully you guys can do other ideas with this concept. Also Grats on 300k! Also, my favorite is Rayquaza! Emerald was the first game I ever finished as a kid

[@Sphinx_725]

I would love to see more of the generation style races!

[@Generic_Drummer]

[@zenny4619]

My personal favorite official legendary is yevtal due to its design and part in trio but if we are talking mythical or ub it would be Marshadow due to its size yet strength and ub would be naganadel due to its design typing

[@sisui6825]

that zapdos literally just say hi and then bye at the same time it was hilarious

[@gyx1565]

Above all of my KZbin notifications, it said important at the top. You were up there, and I couldn’t agree more. 💀

[@Maria.Annette]

Reshiram is my favorite legendary. It's a dragon, vaguely looks like a fox, has a bunch of swoopy and fluffy bits, fire type is pretty cool, and supposedly it represents truth and the concept of yang, which is super cool. The shiny is underwhelming, but otherwise it's pretty dang cool!

[@UmbralDawn]

“I want water!” “I want dirt!” Had me cracking up. Great vid guys

[@HeyItsMayBug]

This was fun! I’d watch more of these races. Poor Tobin shoulda got that Zappy bird. lol

[@Nightforce8]

Favorite legendary? No no no no. It’s not just my favorite, it is everyone’s favorite legendary. The undisputed best made Pokémon of all time, part of the legendary subclass………………………. CONKELDURRR

[@blazingblastoise3865]

QOTD: Probably Giratina or Koraidon. Giratina because his lore and design are amazing and Koraidon because he's so cute and I love the way he runs 😊.

[@JuubiKitsune777]

Tobin: Zapdos, YEAH!! Zapdos: NOPE!

[@Avatarzany]

Me: I wonder what different kind of legendaries they will find! Zapdos: No

[@Ookami_17]

If you haven't tried it, Pokémon Snakewood is a lot of fun. It's a fan made game that is set like 5 years after Ruby and Saphire and there is a zombie apocalypse that you have to fight through. It's weird but a ton of fun.

[@alishagee4044]

Giratina definitely! Platinum wasn't my first Pokémon game but Giratina's whole backstory as the banished third of Arceus and the whole Distortion World just takes them to a whole new level and that's not even touching Legends Arceus and it's story there. Personally can't beat it.

[@Stephen_Steezy]

I really love race videos like these, I've been on a kick with them recently haha. My favorite legendary is Regigigas. I just like the lore of his awakening and whatever Pokemon movie it is where he stops the glacier from destroying the land was one of the coolest things I remember seeing as a kid.

[@StarlightWarriorGamerJames]

It's Giratina and the Sky Warrior that happens in.

[@Stephen_Steezy]

@@StarlightWarriorGamerJames see I remembered Giratina being the reason for it but could not figure it out for whatever reason haha. Thank you

[@StarlightWarriorGamerJames]

@@Stephen_Steezy np, mate.

[@Dusskulll]

Zapdos be like "Hi, how are ya" throughout the whole video

[@sisteaglass651]

This was a fun video bring it back with everyone

[@current-c8283]

My fave legend is regigigas... i love him, his ability goes so well with the fact that he is a grumpy dad who just woke up from a nap and needs a few minutes to wake up and start the day. i know he isn't the strongest to use in a game or competitively but his design, lore, and being the dad of all regies makes me love him

[@roburrito1302]

This is what y’all need to do as a series, a versus and you have to obtain a specific badge from each game. I.e. Badge 1 in Ruby, then load up HeartGold and go until you get Badge 2, and so on!

[@UncleSmiley96]

This is such a good idea! I'm sure it would be too long but the first to beat the first gym leaders in each game would be awesome also "I want water!" "I want durrrt!" 💀

[@juanjosevera9268]

My favorite legendary is Lugia. Pokemon 2000 is one of my favorite Pokemon movies (probably my favorite) and Lugia stole the show in that movie

[@DragonTigran]

First, Mewtwo and Lugia will tie so hard as my favorite. Second, referencing Simple and Clean….Dylan you’re after my heart man!! Lol

[@deadluke13]

My favorite legendary is Kyurem. I love the idea of the gen 5 legendary literally getting ripped apart by the brothers fighting and Kyurem getting to absorb one of the others to get part of its original power back.

[@corbinaguiar3697]

8:10 the flashback had me weak 😂😂😂

[@Okami3216]

palkia, first legendary i caught. the memories i have, the heartbeat being over 9000... amazing

[@solonium]

I love Rayquaza for it's design. It's shiny is just- Perfection. But Xerneas? Oh, it stole my heart. Sweeping through players in pokemon showdown. It's design and shiny is beautiful too.

[@di11pi11]

No point keeping the catching aspect in this challenge. It's basically first to encounter a legendary. I was most looking forward to the fact that it takes so long to catch them in earlier games.

[@ArmaniV03]

Love this concept! More like this!

[@theretrodragon7280]

Rayquaza is the goat, literally comes from the heavens to settle shit and eats meteors. He's a man of the people

The zapdos Tobin found in generation 6 is the roaming Zapdos that you can encounter randomly in the grass

[@Fanmade_royal_rumble]

Good to know

[@Teddiursir]

Because I know Tobin will get roasted in the comments, I'll say I completely agree with his opinion on Gen 5's stories.

[@denniscolburn65]

POV United plays: i could be having the worst day and it I see gen 3 graphics my day turns around Me: if I have a bad day all I have to here is the united plays intro theme and my attitude changes to a happy boy

[@cryptorborgjulien902]

He found the roaming Zapdos. It will flee 10 times before you can actually catch it in the Sea Spirit's Den. I feel so bad for him.

[@AlfieTheBestYT2]

Tobin 2022 "HE'S DABBING HES DABBING"

[@BrawlerClaws67]

My favorite legendary is Darkrai because I loved the Darkrai movie growing up. (P.S. Mythical is a subcategory of Legendary, so I think Mythicals should count for these videos)

[@VandalMashupsandEdits]

The smiling friends bit was a great lol

[@than_487]

Finally. I've been dying to talk about my favorite... My favorite legendary is Giratina on top of being my favorite pokemon in general! I was playing XY even into 2015 (I've got like 900 hours at this point) and I'd do so much stuff, including competitive. One day I was traded a Giratina when I barely knew anything about it and I took it to doubles... I'd just run EQ + Origin Giratina and it went really well, it would take most hits...it grew attached to me. Then i started playing uh VERY LEGALLY the games I didnt own and I finally got to play Platinum and i fell in love. I found my favorite character (peep the profile pic), my favorite game, my favorite region, my favorite themes and even my favorite area (I love the distortion world..) ... Giratina brought me happiness. Bonus, with the old event server thingie, I got to get me a shiny Giratina even back in Black, my first game, so I simply always had a Giratina with me. It's my little buddy! Now I simply always get one with me, whether by transferring or catching it in game. Currently waiting for Go to give us Origin raids to get that one shiny, I only have Altered. Sorry, I'm passionate about my baby. :3

[@chalkofthevoid1146]

Favorite legendary is Giratina for a few reasons. One being I like the concept they took for it, two its design looks fantastic, and three the iconic entrance in Platinum

[@jessealexander3346]

My favorite legendary is Latias! I adore it's design and personality in the anime. It also can feel people's emotions and communicate telepathically so it just sounds like a perfect best friend pokemon. Also it's shiny is my favorite color.

[@surdine6671]

That zapdos ran away from tobin because he didn't want to listen to his gen 5 slander anymore

[@UnitedPlaysYT]

LOL 😂

[@iridescent7816]

Favorite legendary? Hard to pick, but I've always been a fan of Lugia~ It was the star of my favorite Pokémon movie when I was a wee grasshopper.

[@zenflare148]

Zapdos - definitely one of the OGs. Coolest one among the bird trio ⚡⚡⚡

[@honkaidragonslayer7178]

My personal favorite legendary Pokémon is between Lugia and Suicune, both look cool and are very fun to use in battle

[@redox4604]

My favourite's gotta be Dialga and Giratina - Diamond and Platinum were the first two games I bought with my own money, and I will always remember and cherish the moment I hit 1k hours in Platinum

[@Athelion91]

Mewtwo has a special place in my heart, from Pokémon Yellow, to the first pokémon movie, he is by far my favorite Legendary

[@ThroneofDrakes]

My favorite legendary from Gen1 is Articuno, Gen2 is Raikou, Gen3 is suprise suprise Raquaza, gen4 Dialga, gen5 Reshiram, gen6 the darkness bird Yveltal, gen7 did not care for and gen8 is Urshifu water form.

[@jtkillien2823]

Wanna know the legend I love, Steely Dan aka Heatran. I don't know why but it just always seems to be on my team in randomizers, and usually he is the carry.

[@PhantomMangleDoesRandomContent]

0:55 😳 Burmy????? UHHHHHHHHHHHH Thats a Gen 4

[@melskunk]

Thanks Matt for keeping that joke in

[@mjcooper7702]

Zygarde is my favorite legend. He definitely has one of the best shines. And he can turn into a doggo, so....

[@CaminoGG]

Dylan ran into the roaming legend in gen 2. Mad. Aaannnnd Tobin found the roaming bird in gen 6.

[@KaosDarksol]

I feel like the ultra beasts are underrated they may not all be great but I love the design on Guzzlord

[@Calvid00]

Fs for Tobin. My fave legend is Lugia, its a great design and its appearances in the anime and the movies are all really cool.

[@ronnie4122]

Favorite legendary has to be Mewtwo, love the concept and story behind him and the fact that he looks like a higher power alien!

[@chae9854]

That Zapdos woke up today and decided to troll for this video

[@bstill872]

If we don’t count mythical, Raikou is my favorite legendary. But if we do count mythical, Darkrai is my favorite because of the old nostalgic hypnosis/dream eater combo

[@matthewsmyth8815]

We need more gen 1-2 randomized videos

[@fishingar8783]

Articuno has to be my favorite legendary. So underrated, especially the Galarian form.

[@JordyPordy10]

My favorite legendary is Shaymin! For the record, I see mystics as a subset of legendaries. She was introduced at the absolute height of my still massive Sonic fixation, and she’s been important to me ever since.

[@Sykelone]

*Technically* my favourite legendary is Giratina. I was always astounded by him in Platinum and the whole story around him. BUT, if we can could Mythicals, it has to be Victini. Playing Pokémon Black and getting the gift Victini sold me on the lil flying fella and I never got him off my team ♥

[@sunsoul7314]

Tough choice. Technically, it would be Silvally, I just love it's lore and appearance, but going with a more 'traditional' legendary, Solgaleo. My friend and I had this Joke that I am the Sun and she is the Moon, so that's one reason. I like cats, another one. And, Ultra Sun was my first Pokemon game, so I am pretty biased

[@Luke-ej6od]

Seeing lugia’s gen 2 back sprite cured my depression

[@BanksRm]

Suicune is the favorite by far. Crystal was one of my favorite games as a kid and still is to this day. Also Pokémon 4 Ever is amazing

[@akk2369]

I love rayquaza because it was soo cool in the movies and shows also seeing Rayquaza descend from the sky in Pokemon emerald was the coolest thing I ever saw in my life as a kid

[@a.random.person.1]

Kyogre has to be my personal favorite. Always loved the gen 3 games and competitively viable for the tier it's in especially in later generations

[@sakibsadman9984]

while watching this video my excitement was on another level

[@paleobology618]

Favorite legend is Garatina, it was such a cool design as a kid I mean it has it's own dimension.

[@roseshadow2173]

My favorite legendary and overall pokemon is Lugia. Such a magnificent pokemon and I'll always remember watching the movie 2000 and how beautiful it was. The song was amazing and it just made me love Lugia forever!

[@Vikt0rian]

I actually think that Galarian Moltres is my favourite Legendary design, BUT, BUUUUT, I gotta just say Mewtwo for everything else, his character in the movies is so fucking good, and the Mewtwo with armour design is ABSURDLY strong as a look. UGH, BUT I ALSO REALLY LOVE YVELTAL....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH hard to pick Legendaries... If we went by Shiny Legendaries, then it is not even CLOSE, it is Yveltal every single day of the year.
