Favorite legendary
Forum-Index → Discussion → Favorite legendaryI'm playing through FireRed for the first time right now, and I never played Red or Blue. However, Mewtwo is so intrinsically tied into the series that it manages to beat out the Pokemon from the games I actually played as a child.
Of course, there's only one explanation then - Mewtwo Strikes Back.
This movie was beyond anything the anime had offered. Mewtwo was an interesting and deep character - one that my young mind didn't fully comprehend, and that as I've grown older, learned the lore of the games, and seen Mewtwo Returns and the original Japanese movie opening, I've grown to appreciate even more. Gamefreak has put an incredible amount of thought and love toward the character.
When I was a kid, it was the cool factor - now, I appreciate the thought and lore behind the character (in addition to the excellent concept / execution of the design). It's simply one of the franchises' most memorable creations - I won't let his "overrated" labeling ruin that for me.
Help out my birds :)
