Bear with me here, this might get a bit crazy.
But.
One thing they've continued to bring up again and again about Sun and Moon's box legendaries is that they're somehow "different" than what they've done with legendaries before. At first I thought, okay, it's probably just the usual E3 hypespeak to make everyone think there's something completely new or interesting about them when all we get is a new ability, signature move and a form change. But then I thought about this.
>Solgaleo isn't the sun, it's the emissary of the sun
>Lunaala isn't the moon, it's the emissary of the moon
And I figured, yeah, they couldn't be, we have our sun and moon legendaries already - Ho-oh and Lugia. But then, Ho-oh and Lugia already have "emissaries" - Ho-oh has the legendary dogs/cats and Lugia has the legendary birds, and that wouldn't
>Solgaleo is the green lion that devours the sun from alchemy
>Lunaala is a bat, which were considered "birds" in medieval/alchemy days
Could they be fourth members of both of those trios?

Both, Lunala and Solgaleo, were refered as emissaries at E3 iirc.
Also Ho-Oh and Lugia don't represent the sun and the moon.
Lugia is not tied to the birds outside of the anime.

It is in Mystery Dungeon.

Pic related is from an official Pokemon Company trailer of HeartGold/SoulSilver. Considering the birds show up in those games, Ho-oh it's own trio, and Lugia is linked to the birds in both the anime and Mystery Dungeon, that's good enough for me to take it as fact.

>HGSS trailer
>Sea Spirit's den
Yeah, you're wrong.
>>26748955
I was going to say that they're just emissaries on one of those "sun legendary not fire type" threads but I didn't think of them the same way of yours.
And I thought about this but maybe it's out of placeMagearna's ability: Soul(Silver) Heart(Gold)

>Accordingly, there weren't any new pokemon left for the movie staff to advertise and the game staff, for whatever reason, wasn't willing to make another movie exclusive pokemon like they did with Lugia and the second movie.
Lugia was made specifically for the second movie at the request of the anime director. It's the only known Pokemon to have been made primarily for the anime.

What I want to know is why the fuck they're both Psychic.
Nothing about them has in any way indicated that they should be psychic. Solgaleo is the emissary of the Sun and is weak to Fire, which I find both moronic and hilarious. Lunala is 4x weak to itself, which is just sad.

>The Sun has been commonly associated with Fire and sometimes Grass.
>The Moon has been commonly associated with Normal and more recently Fairy typings.
I mean...I guess?

That's fair, I suppose.

I for one would love for the gen 1 and 2 legendaries to be relevant again.
>>26748963
I've never understood why people associate that with them.
>>26750359
I'm pretty sure every mythical pokemon after mew was made for the anime.
