Assasin, why do ya enjoy bein' a troll? This is srs question lawl.

Gen one is different from any other Pokemon game as in the Legendaries are not the main story line. Instead the legedaries take a role in behind the scenes and backstory.

Legendary Pokemon should be part of the narrative IMO, or at least a side story. The series is all 'bout the Pokemon themselves after all. In fact, I'd prefer if many more Pokemon, legendary or not, had a bigger part of the story in that they're not just the tool of a villain(s). in other words needz moar arceus

Gen one has more mysteries than the other generations.

True. However, it's all due to the internets not bein' the spoilerfest back then as it is today. And also due to lack of proper narrative... Quite a few'a these mysteries went unexplained simply 'cause the Game Freak unintentionally never made an explanation for 'em.

The most famous video game glitch belongs to gen one.

Honestly wouldn't doubt that Missingno. is the most famous glitch.

Also gen one is a lot darker than any other generation. And I like dark stories

Those were the days...

Naw
I feel legendary Pokemon are overkill, especially if they are the storyline

Game Freak purposefully did not give explanations. The whole Cinnabar Island Pokemon Manor attests to that

Plus we are never told specifically what Team Rocket wants and how long and deep their reach is in the Pokemon World.

Team Rocket is as complex as the Borgia.

[Splash_King]

That's an insult t' the Borgia.

Answer my question ya assasin.

How so?

My claim that they unintentionally left some things out was a general sweepin' statement, didn't mean it to target everythin'. They definitely left the whole Pokemon Mansion debacle quite open ended, 'course. I shouldn't of said "all". derpaherp

I really want t' know if Ditto are indeed failed gene splicing experiments from Cinnabar.

[Mr. MR]

How so?

Ever met someone with Ruby and didn't have a Groudon

Gen III introduced like the perfect amount of legends, imo, the newer gens are going more overkill.

[WiiAssasin]

That's an insult t' the Borgia. Answer my question

Answer mine.

[Splash_King]

I've no idea what question you're referrin' to. Remind me.

Ever met someone with Ruby and didn't have a Groudon

Yep. Ever met someone without a Mewtwo?

I don't see how these questions 'bout how ubiquitously coveted legendaries are has t' do with my own question. So I ask again: what's wrong with legendaries bein' a part of the storyline?

Gen III introduced like the perfect amount of legends, imo, the newer gens are going more overkill.

Gen 5 definitely didn't introduce too many legendaries. 4 certainly didn't either IMO. Rather, I'd say 4 had too many unnecessary legendaries. That's hardly a bad thing since it ain't as though they're all designed like (T)rubbish.

Mewtwo is not as obtainable as Groudon and you can use Groudon to destroy the E4 for the first time
You could not do that in Gen one

[Splash_King]

I'm pretty sure Groudon doesn't fare that well against the E4... Without a doubt Kyogre is far better at the task. Zapdos and Articuno dismantle the E4 of Kanto y'know. Emerald 'n BW2 didn't have this "issue" either, which is hardly an issue IMO. I wouldn't say this point has nothin' to do with legendaries bein' bad for the plot anyways.

Catching the legendary prior to the end of the story wasn't what I meant by wantin' legendaries in the main plot neither. I'd prefer not catchin' 'em 'till post game really, since otherwise they make it far too easy like with the main legendaries of DP and BW1. Speakin' of BW1, I think they did insert catchin' a legendary Poke as bein' a necessary plot point quite well both in timing and the execution.
