I've had too much time on my hands to think about these kind of things, so I started to wonder why there is only one of each legendary. Yes I know, there's only one because they are legendary, but I think my brother is rubbing off on me. He said what if beneath Mew's oh so cute and adorable exterior, its really vicious and its the only one because it killed off all the others? Hmm...

Any one want to give their opinions why there are only one of all the legendaries? In one of the movies, it seemed that Latias and Latios could breed. who knows?

Pick a legendary, any legendary! (to write a theory that is)

I think your brother might have been over reacting a bit......
And in the movie Latios and Latias were bro and sis so it must be freaky for them to breed............
There might be only one Mew 'cause it was an only child and its parents were killed by something...? (I have random ideas o_O)

actually most legendaries have more than "one of them",

this includes the birds, the dogs(cats/beasts), lugia, ho-oh, deoxys, celebi, latios, latias.

unsure of/debatable: regis, jirachi, mew rayquaza, groudon, kyogre,

only one of: mewtwo

I'm building a site called The Pokeball (linked on my site) that will deal with Pokemon Mysteries just like those, i'm too lazy to type it here but yeah there is tons of evidence that there are more than one of most legendaries, of course they are still very rare Pokemon.

As for Mew I don't know I beleive there is only one but i don't want to read spoilers to the new movie, there could be more than one mew, or else mew is immortal, since he is the decendant of all Pokemon.

Mewtwo isn't a Mew, it's a clone of Blaine and Mew.

There has been definitive proof of at least two Articuno. As shown in the second movie if one of the birds leave their respective island the whole world goes amok. We have see two instances where Articuno has been positively identified outside that island (no proof on whether the two episodes were showing the same Articuno), but there is definitive proof that there is at least two Articuno. Zapados was proven as well with that viewing of that electric lake. ;025;

That's My Rule!!!
There is only one Mew because it is the Origin of All Pokémon. There is a sort of "Pokémon Family Tree", and Mew is at the base. The tree then branches out to show the Pokémon that came from Mew: Lugia and Ho-Oh. The tree then branches out again to show Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. After that, it's Kyogre and Groudon, followed by Celebi, Manafi, etc. After all the Legendary Pokémon were created by Mew, the normal Pokémon were created.

So, in other words, there is only one Mew because it is the origin of all the Pokémon species. It is a thousand-year old Pokémon, a timeless Ethereal Being.

Oh, and if you don't believe me, watch the eighth movie "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew". The intro sequence pretty much sums up how Pokémon came to be and who was the origin of all the Pokémon.

I have a [sorta short] theory for Jirachi...

There is only 1 Jirachi to avoid the greed of people wanting it to grant their wishes. That's why Jirachi was made 1. It only grants wishes to the rightful person. Just think, If there were, let's say, 100 Jirachis, then 100 people can wish for anything they want. And there will be a big chance that at least 10% of this people will be greedy and luster.

Some legendaries are two or more, and some others are only one.
What i think is two or more: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Suicune, Entei, Raikou, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Latias and Latios.
Only one: Mew, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys and maybe Rukario and Manafi.

There are multiple of each legendary except for Mewtwo. Here are some reasons:
1. Legendaries have shiny versions. How could anything have two versions, when only one of them exists.
2. There can't be one of any creature. If there is one, there must be two. And if there are two, there must be a whole bunch.
3. Nothing, I repeat, nothing can be immortal. So unless there are multiple of each legendary, they must have gone instinct a long time ago.
4. If there is one of each legendary, how can there be a Ho-oh in the Sevii Islands, at the same time one in Orre and three years later one in Johto when the other two were most likely caught? Same goes for Lugia, the Beasts, the birds and basically any other legendary.
5. After beating Colloseum a Ho-oh appears. Eagune, or however it is spelled, then says: "I have never seen one up so close." You only say "one" when multiple of that thing exists. And who knows better if one or multiple of something exists than someone who lives in that world for a very, very long time.

The only one-of-a-kind Pokémon is Mewtwo. And that is because it was man-made. And unlike the other man-made Pokémon, Porygon and Porygon 2, there was made only one of it. And Mewtwo can be shiny, simply because the Mew whose clone Mewtwo was could have been shiny. And if you go strictly to the games, Mewtwo was Mew's child. And a Pokémon can be shiny when it's parents aren't.

Yeah, Movies =\= Anime.

Ask in the Anime Ash what's Jirachi, he says a kind of chocolate :D
But when you ask him in the movies, he says that Jirachi is a legendary baby pokemon.

Then why does Ash remember the Lugia from the Orange Islands movie when he is at the Whirl Islands? And also, why does the Whirl Islands Lugia have a child.

I r gud riter.
In the pokedex, it says "a new Entei is born everytime a volcano erupts" or something of the sort. There are more than one legendary except for some like Mewtwo, Kyogre, and Groudon, which would be dumb to have more than one of.
