over-doing it

grapefruit

Blaaaargh...
I think Game Freak is over doing it in how many legendaries are in each gen. In the first gen, there were 5 legends. Now, in the fourth gen, there are 13 legends in the dex. Why do they keep adding it larger and larger?

Discuss.
 
Umm, isn't there already a thread on this same topic? O.o

No, not really. That one is about haw little are in Kanto, and how much more are in Hoenn, Johto, Sinnoh in comparison. This topic is about Game Freak over doing it.
 
i think they over-do it, they are legendaries, they should be few, not 13 per region.
 
I love legendaries. So do a lot of people. They're not that bad.

They do overdo it a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit though.

Yeah, but you don't want to love all half of the Pkmn by 5th Generation. I guess they're running out of ideas so they just put a legend of anything.
 
I think the plot of the story or the story
itself has something to do with the abundant numbers
of legendaries. More complicated, more legendaries.

Yeah they did over-did it in 4th gen.
 
I wouldn't think it'd be overdoing it if they added more normal Pokemon to go with it. However, the first generation had the most normal Pokemon and the least legendaries, but that ratio has just been getting to be more and more in favor of the legends. I don't mind if they keep making above-average legendary Pokemon, but I think they should even it out with more normals.
 
because they can and will. see simple now case closed.
 
Thirteen legends, huh?...Well if some of those are events I feel they're okay because you have you sort of *earn* them...but there are only like 3 events so 10 is still a tad much...

*earn*; by earn I mean go to wherever the event is and wait in line to get your pokemon.
 
They ARE overdoing the legends. Not only that, the more legends, the more little kids that pack ubers/legends in their teams for wifi.

Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Cresselia, Regigigas, the Lake Trio (Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit), Heatran, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus is quite a bit for one generation...

In 5th gen, I can imagine 7-year-old uber abusers running rampant with even MORE nrew legends in the next random wifi Pokemon game. (No offense to them, though)
 
1st gen: 3 580s, 2 600, 1 680
2nd gen: 3 580s, 1 600, 2 680
3rd gen: 3 580s, 3 600s, 2 670s (exclude Slaking), 1 680
4th gen: 3 580s, 4 600s, 1 670, 5 680s
You do raise a point...tell me if I've missed anything.
