'''Pat''': That’s not speculation, that’s [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanWank Fan Wank]. Trying to make sense of the universe get’s more and more difficult with each escalation of the pantheon. I mean, could we be looking at something as sprawled out and unorganized as the DC Comics Universe by Generation XI or XII? I’m all for new Legends, it’s impossible to imagine a new game without them, but is it too much to ask for something more like Mewtwo than Dialga for my 680 base stat total uber? It’s much easier to stomach genetic Frankensteins than deities of primal universal forces. Good Lord, I sound like a Generation I purist.

Nor do I hold the pretense that I'm a better game designer.), but it certainly isn't the worst exaggeration of my opinion I've read of heard.</span>

<span style="color:#006400">While I do dig the earlier Legends more than I do the current ones, this comes out of a personal taste in the artistic style of the monsters. I don't so much mind the Legends' origins being attached to the creation of the Pokémon universe as I do their designs becoming more 'complex' (see: muddled).

The latter not existing in Reshiram's and Zekrom's designs is something I've already become somewhat fond of.</span>
