Pokemon, what happened to you?

[Cshad]

What does that have to do with the overwhelming amount of legendaries? :|

It could have been an excuse for them to add odd typing combinations (ie fire/steel), that they were unable to add during normal gameplay? A lot of legendaries added were really good to use despite so many of them, it was probably a way for them too add more usable pokemon (in game), since we did not have a large diversity in the typing of pokemon until platinum came out. The amount of legendaries in this game was probably a big experiment to separate the god like legendaries like Arceus from more Folklore esque ones like Darkria.
