Well, gen 1 had about 5 legendaries.
Gen 2 had about 6-7
Gen 3 had like 10
Gen 4 added like another 10
Gen 3 added like, 12
I'm just rounding these numbers off, but the amount of legendaries just kinda keeps growing and not really staying legendary anymore.
Remember that awesome feeling catching one of the few legendaries from the old Pokemon games?
Now it's just like, "Oh, there's another one. And Nother. And Nother...Nother...Nother... Nother.."
There's no real legendary aspect anymore basically

So basically a nostalgia problem.

I think it has more to do with the concept of "legendary".
I mean it'd be like if the first games established a "raid boss" or two, but then by the 5th game, you had 12 "raid bosses". They're just not special when there's that damn many of them.

He did allude to this when talking about catching them too.

It's beautiful!
I'm waiting to see any new changes into the battle mechanics. :P
Oh guys, this is the gen where quite a few older generation Pokemon get new evolutions. Place your bets.

I want to see Heracross evolve.

That'd be really nice.
I'd like to see evolutions for Jynx, Pinsir, Donphan, Houndoom, Scrafty, Bisharp, Lanturn, and many others

So basically a nostalgia problem.

I think quite different.
Being legendary meant something for the first 2 generations.
After that we got many generic legendaries that didn't felt any special.

In B/W 2, as you keep moving, the fighting legendarie trio appear in front of you, like they are saying: Catch me.
7 legendaries is more than enough for a generation

One thing I noticed, the part where the dude is running in the forest, there's someone following him. But she doesn't take the same path as him instead turns before she gets to the part he did. Maybe a double team mission, or local co-op ?
inb4 you can beat the game with a friend over the internet :X

Basically now what makes a pokemon legendary is their stats. (and legend if people care about their stories)
