OH MY GOD ITS ALMOST HERE!!! POKÈMON X & Y ARE COMING!!
Ok breathe…alright…i am calm(ish) now. To keep myself this way i am declaring the next few weeks Pokèmon Month. filled with various topics. The ones i have planned so far…my top 5 faves of each type (There will be one Blog dedicated to each of the current 17 types. If i do Fairy it will be some time in November after i have a good chance to enjoy and figure out the new typing.) Some time this week i will do a reaction/ thoughts post on the new game and what we have learned so far about it.
But for now i am starting with my top ten Favorite legendary Pokèmon. To me at least Legendary deserve there own typing because they are often in a league of there own. In a lot of these cases they tend to be the top of there class, the only one of there kind (Per game) and Unbreedable. Now Remember like always these Choices are my personal Opinions and can admittedly be swayed by the game version i picked up, you may also notice that a lot of late in game pick ups are not on this list because they often just that. they come in too late in the game for me, i have already established my go to pokèmon and unless i plan on spending a lot of extra time in the game. i Generally do not play with them. (So Don’t really expect to see any Black and White legendary’s here.) Also there is a big 2-3 year gap in game play i missed out in a good chunk of the mystery gift pokèmon, so without playing them myself i have no way of knowing they are any good, so they will also not be on the list. Alright without Further delay my top ten Favorite legendary pokèmon.
10: 
Ho-oh: For a lot of people who were exposed to the animè first this is the first legendary most of us see. Flying off into the distance and Ash’s pokèdex declaring it as and unknown and that there are still many thinks unknown to us. Its a definition of life really isn’t it, there are are a lot of mysteries out there that we just do not know about. Ho-oh its self isn’t a terrible legendary, its just not one of my favorites, and i tend to not really go that much for fire anyways, but given what it helped create and it being part of admittedly my favorite generation. Ho-oh deserves a place here on my list.
9: 
Moltres and Articuo: Most of you who have been reading my blogs are probably not surprise zapados is not with these two (Spoiler alert: he is much higher on the list!) But since the first generation and new releases i have made an effort to get to know all three of the legendary birds who are still some of my favorite legendaries. While these two are no Zapados, both are good in there own right and the fact all three are elegable for competitive play makes them allstars in my book. Articuno is just beautifully designed, and Moltres isn’t that bad to look at either. both are fine birds and deserve a spot here on the list

Rayquaza: My first Dragon Pokèmon on the list. This is an amazing looking dragon pokèmon and honestly one of the few that look like a Dragon. It is a pain to fight and fun to train, and isn’t that in the end what you want with a legendary. While available in all three of the third Gen games, its the third one Emerald does Rayquaza really get to shine.
7: 
Giratina: Like Rayquaza before it, this one really didn’t get the love it deserved until the third instalment of the forth generation: Ghost/ Dragon seems to me like a weird mix, and by golly is Giratina a little weird looking, and almost in some ways a little terrifying. it of course is not easy to get but at least its not roaming, and i can honestly say i prefer the upgrade it got in platinum. I think it is a solid pokèmon and well worth a spot on my team, if only sadly he wasn’t uber then he would be there along with some of my others.
6:
Palkia: This legendary you pick up fairly early in the game (probably about the mid point in your journey), given that this was my first ds Pokèmon game and i opted for Pearl, Palkia became part of my team. One of the few Dragon pokèmon out there that really doesn’t learn fly (It leans Surf instead) Palkia made life easy getting around without my little lapras. I named mine Voyager and together we wreaked havok, it was a solid entry to the legendaries.
5:
Latias: Boy was this little guy a pain in the Arse to catch, but well worth it once i had her in my team. Seeing how i played Sapphire and then Emerald i never really got my hands on latios until recently in Black 2 i was kinda of thrilled to run into it because i never has tios before. But sadly for Latios it was to late, Latias (named trouble after all the trouble it caused me trying to catch it,) had already been together for almost ten years. Plus i tend to admittedly favor having female Pokèmon on my team, So this troublesome to catch pokèmon has landed on my favorites list.
4 
Entei, Raikou and Suicune: There is just something amazing about these three that is just aw inspiring to me. their story, three pokèmon killed when a tower burned down, brought back to life my Ho-oh only now to roam though johto. I have made it no secret i am not overly fond of chasing pokèmon around to catch them…but for these three and Latias i will give the time in for. the are in each right a Good pokèmon, Solid stats and in a good chunk of games. I really grew to appreciate them with Pokèmon XD when you got to “Steal” all three of them from bad trainers, It was then i really got too see them shine. if i where to really complain about them it would be for poor Raikou. Entei got a whole movie, Suicune got a crystal, and what did Raikou get bumpkins…poor little guy. Raikou was the first of the legendary beast i caught in silver and I guess has been a favorite of mine since then. Still its hard to to appreciate all of them.

Kyogre: This is the water pokèmon that for a time actually took Lapras place on my team. Oh my god Right? It learns everything Lapras does, but instead of loosing a spot in my move set for rain dance this one knew drizzle making thunder a 100% accurate. making this pokèmon mighty dangerous to a lot of other Mon’s out there. If you think about it really, Kyogre is the best on out of gen threes legendary pile anyways, taking out Groudon and Rayquaza, a good chunk of the regis and even latia, and latios making this one top dog in Gen 3. I love her design and i am not just saying it because sapphire is my birthstone. This is one bad big whale and it knows it.
2 
Zapdos: Come on people are you really that surprised to see this guy on my list. He was on my list of top Ten Favorite pokèmon! Like I have said before Zapdos has been one of my go To legendaries for a very long time now, there have been other electric pokèmon, and there have been other birds but zappy has always been a loyal and true team mate to me over the years. It will always have a special place in both my heart and my team. The fact he is a legendary that is not considered and uber Pokèmon makes Zapdos still a viable option for my team, I love this bird and to me he stands out greatly from his siblings. Zap you will always be with me…ps i hope you get a mega form…that would be kick ass!

Lugia: Go ahead click on its name and you will know in an instant why Lugia is my top Legendary Go ahead i will wait. That theme is pretty much the top reason i love this pokèmon so much. I know a peice of music…but it for me it just wasn’t the music…lugia in my opinion has the best music around it, and was the first legendary pokèmon I caught and used for a majority of the game. You do get Lugia midway though the game and he is amazing. i know a lot of people likes mewtwo but for me the second generation is pretty much my favorite gen. Silver especially is super spherical to me it marked a lot of firsts for me. The first time i had to choose my starter, The first time i experience pokèmon with friends. Lugia was also one of the first legendaries from older gens i was able to retain with Pokèmon XD making him rare amongst my friends. Lugia to me will always have a great story, great music, and a Amazing Pokèmon which makes Lugia always my number 1
So there you have it my top ten. what do you think? Were your favorites on the list? Was there a surprise?. Let me know in the comments down below.
