Furthermore, the Eon duo of Latios and Latias were also introduced and became an important part of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire as the first properly rideable Pokemon.
Once again, a legendary trio was introduced with the three legendary titans Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. In the third generation of Pokémon, the number of legendaries stepped up a notch. They have many similarities to the bird trio from the first generation and are another big hit for the Pokémon fans. The other legendary bird introduced in generation two was Ho-Oh.Īlongside them, legendary trios were cemented as a Pokemon staple with the three legendary dogs. Some of it has to do with the legendary Pokémon, with Lugia standing as a real fan favorite.
While it seemed hard to top the first generation, Gold and Silver are held up among the best games in the series. The other three legendaries are the legendary birds, including Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos.Īfter a successful first generation, Pokémon got another big boost in the second. The strongest of them all is Mewtwo, who has been a main character in multiple movies and was effectively the “final boss” of Red and Blue. This generation had the original 151 Pokémon, among which four of them are considered legendary. Everyone who grew up with Pokémon will know this generation by heart, and so will many people who didn’t get into Pokémon until recently. The first generation of Pokémon is still the most popular of them all.
