("Currently" is always unnecessary on a wiki. When something is no longer up-to-date, it should be removed. Until then, the point is still true and doesn't need clarification. ||| But "Gen 2 Legendaries" is a group of five, too small to be notable anyway.)

<!--Don't add the remaining Gen V and VI Pokémon as those that have not appeared in movies as they are too recent. Give it another generation or two. Also, do not add Poison being the only type without a legendary Pokémon, there is also no Bug type legendary Pokémon, since Genesect is now a mythical Pokémon.-->

* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, Legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of Legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small number of Legendary Pokémon who have had their names changed significantly outside of Japan (currently nine: the [[Legendary birds]], the [[lake guardians]], and the [[Forces of Nature]]).
