|| BTW, my theory is that many legendaries are not supposed to be actually unique. There& #39;s multiple Entei according to the pokedex and I& #39;m relatively certain that there& #39;s more than one of each of the Aura legendaries too.

They& #39;re just so rare and similar, they pass--
|| through history as being the one Pokemon when it& #39;s actually just a very small collection of them.

Except for Zygarde, but mostly because he exists on a continuum rather than a single discreet Pokemon.

This is true for a lot of the legendaries, I think.
|| I& #39;m not convinced this is just me theorizing. I really do think this is what the anime intends.

There& #39;s a couple of truly one of a kind Pokemon, but I& #39;m not even sure who those are.

TLDR; I legit think we mostly convinced ourselves that legendaries are one of a kind--
|| when all along, they were meant to be multiple.
|| Like. Anytime we encounter Pokemon with a story, those Pokemon have a proper name that& #39;s identical to it& #39;s species name.

"Charmander wants to be your friend" and "This charmander in particular wants to be your friend" are identical. But we don& #39;t think that charmander is--
|| unique, because we know they aren& #39;t.

But if the only mentions of legendaries in a narrative context has them described as "Lugia wants to battle" rather than "This Lugia in particular wants to battle", it& #39;s easy to see why we& #39;d imagine our Lugia to be the--
|| only Lugia in existence. When it just happens to be the only Lugia we see.

Even though Ash has met Lugia (plural) at least 3 times, each one possibly being distinct and one on-screen confirmation of multiple Lugia existing.

In other words, unless stated otherwise, I assume--
|| every appearance of a legendary to be a new distinct individual unless stated otherwise.
|| That being said, keep in mind that OLM recently confirmed nobody has ever seen a Pokemon lay an egg before. And there& #39;s cameras in the Pokemon universe, so it& #39;s not like they didn& #39;t try.

So I imagine that in-universe, this is an actual debate, but nobody will even--
|| be *that* surprised if their theory turns out to be wrong. Including legendaries like Calmetta; If she comes across another Yveltal, she& #39;d be like, "I always suspected I wasn& #39;t the only one" and not even bat an eye.

Because that& #39;s Pokemon.
