I am a Mew Lover, though I don't know if it is my favorite legend it is the one I think of. Mew was my first Pokémon card and has a special place in my heart.
Oh, such a difficult question! Hm, I would say all of them, but if I had to say a couple.... Mew. Mew is the first legend/mythical Pokémon card I ever got (and by Ken Sugimori no less). And, it is such a great and cute Pokémon.
By legendaries I assume you meant the version mascot trios and sidequest roaming Pokémon and legendary trios (legendary birds, beasts, golems, lake trio, etc) and the mythical are those event-only Pokémon If so, my favourite legendary would be Latias (Reshiram is a close second tho) and my favourite mythical Pokémon is Mew. Seems like a lot of people like Mew too lol
Either Latias or Victini. Latias is such a cute Pokémon and Victini has my favorite typings. Also I caught one in a Premier ball. Pyrite the Victini is a valued member of my team.
Probably Ho-oh, mostly for nostalgia reasons. Big fiery phoenix bird and the mascot of Gold which is better than Silver because it's Gold (as so my thinkling went when I was kid) so that made it better and It was that mysterious bird that was in the first episode of the show, that made it cool. I was always kind of sad how Lugia totally overshadowed it all the time.
My favorite Legendary has to be Dialga due to my Mystery Dungeon nostalgia, while my favorite Mythical Pokémon is either Meloetta of Victini. Those two just have really good designs.
I think it may have to be the handsome Lugia because of its amazing bulk. I always loved the creature since I was a kid when the 2000 movie came out as well, and I loved its song. As for mythicals, I personally love Shaymin, more specifically its sky forme which I find adorable and has such an endearing attitude.
I guess it would be Latios and Latias for me. I really like their design, and they are pretty adorable, if you ask me.
FAVORITE LEGENDARIES: [3D='reshiram'][3D='zekrom'][3D='lunala'][3D='zygarde'][3D='rayquaza'] FAVORITE MYTHICALS: [3D='mew'][3D='magearna'][3D='jirachi'][3D='victini'][3D='meloetta']
My favorites are probably Ho-oh, Rayquaza, Heatran, Reshiram, Kyurem, Shaymin, Victini, Meloetta, Solgaleo, and... all of them are pretty amazing! it's too hard to chose!
Now I kind of consider the Red Gyrados a legendary because it's so rare, but if I had to say a real legendary, I'd probably say Lugia or Celebi. But let's be honest you guys, Helix is the real legend
My favorite legendary:[3D='yveltal'] My favorite mythical:[3D='victini'] [sharedmedia=gallery:images:1477]
My favourite legendary would have to be Articuno and my favourite mythical either Darkrai or Celebi. Or Shaymin. All three have great designs (can't say how they fare in battle, I've never used one to fight. But hey, they're called MYTHICAL Pokémon for a reason!)
Mew, because nothing beats the memories of: 1. being one of the first to see the original Pokémon movie at the cinema and therefore getting the ancient mew card in a little plastic sleeve 2. watching the lines of people in real life at the shopping centre to queue up for a mew at the machines they used to use for distribution 3. trying to capture it in Pokémon snap, so hard! 4. the excitement and persistence of the truck rumour 5. it's key role and uniqueness in relation to other Pokémon (before other legends were created at least) 6. (it's the cutest haha)
