* In the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter. | * In the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries.

This is consistent with the relatively small amount of legendaries who have had their names changed outside of Japan (a current number of five, the [[legendary birds]] and two of the [[lake guardians]]). | * 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.
