Too Many Legendaries?

Kotaku has posted a new column where they discuss the issue of having too many legendary Pokemon. Below is an excerpt.

Let me put this into context: every generation, a new set of legendaries are introduced to the Pokemon games. Legendaries are supposed to be group of “incredibly rare” Pokemon, often super-powered. Only legendaries don’t really feel so rare, do they?

Dialga, Palkia and Giratina in particular are a part of a “creation trio,” as they represent time, space and antimatter. You’d think it doesn’t get much more powerful than that, but no, there’s also the Pokemon that’s the creator of the universe, Arceus. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day we’ll get a Pokemon that’s more powerful than Arceus too, although it’s hard to imagine what kind of Pokemon that could be. Where do you go from the creation of the universe? Still, the upcoming games will also have its own set of legendaries. Of course they will. And in a way, you can’t blame Game Freak. Some Pokemon have got to be special, right?
