Well, whether or not it matters, we need SOME ideas. There's plenty of potential Legendaries left - we just gotta think outside the box.
...On that note, Nintendo kinda jumped the shark with Giratina. The Dimension Pokemon. Way to waste a Legendary slot. That could've been the 5th Generation gimmick: a Legendary Pokemon of Length, a Legendary Pokemon of Width, and a Legendary Pokemon of Depth.
How would that work?
Hell if I know - Giratina is some freaky centipede-dragon-bat-thing, and THAT has to do with dimensions, evidently... Don't ask me where Nintendo gets this shit from. :/
Thats because everyone one at Nintendo is on drugs, the CEO's have planted aerosolised Crystal Meth in the airconditioners its great.
Here is my Rundown of the Legendaries so far
RBY/FRLG: 5
Articuno: Part of the Generic trio
Moltres: Part of the Generic trio
Zapdos: Part of the Generic trio
Mewtwo: Mans Attempt at God
Mew: Effectively God
GSC: 6
Suicune: Part of the Generic trio
Entei: Part of the Generic trio
Raikou: Part of the Generic trio
Lugia: Pokemonification of Night
Ho-oh: Pokemonification of Day
Celebi: Pokemonification of Time
RSE: 9
Latios: Guardian?
Latias: Guardian?
Kyogre: Pokemonification of the Water
Groudon: Pokemonification of the Earth
Rayquaza: Pokemonification of the Air
Regirock: Part of the Generic trio
Regice: Part of the Generic trio
Registeel: Part of the Generic trio
Deoxys: Mans second attempt at god?
DPP: 12
Mesprit: Part of the Generic trio
Uxie: Part of the Generic trio
Azelf: Part of the Generic trio
Dialga: Pokemonification of Time
Palkia: Pokemonification of Space
Darkrai: Pokemonification of Darkness
Giratina: Pokemonification of Dimensions
Heatran: Pokemonification of Natural disasters?
Cressilia: Pokemonification of the Moon?
Regigigas: Ruler of 3 Regi's
Manaphy: Pokemonification of the Heart?
Arceus: God?
So in generation 7 if it goes on for that long we can expect 20+ legendaries
How about a Life/Death combo. Grass/Dark maybe
Technology vs Nature
Good vs Evil
2 pokemon into 1
3 pokemon into 1
Another lame trio of pokemon maybe bugs this time
Thats all I can think of

Close.
Lugia = Moon.
Ho-Oh = Sun.
Latios = Male.
Latias = Female.
They're gender Pokemon.
No. Deoxys was an alien. Man had no clue what it was, and during research, they accidentally revived it. It wasn't made to be a weapon like Mewtwo was.
Also, you left out Jirachi.
Darkrai = Darkness.
Cresselia = Light.
They have little in common, but maybe Heatran and Manaphy are representative of Fire and Water Pokemon? It'd make some since given that the lastLegendary you excluded - Shaymin - is a Grass-type.
Maybe they're Legendary versions of the starters. Fire, Water, and Grass... Or a different take on the Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza Legendaries: Heatran fills the Earth with lava needed to keep the planet warm and spinning, Manaphy fills the seas with water needed to keep lifeforms cool and hydrated, and Shaymin fills the land with the plants needed to feed animals.
Or, I could be way off. Honestly, Shaymin and Manaphy may have some link, but I have no fucking clue why they added Heatran.
Wouldn't Ghost be a better candidate for a Death Pokemon?
A life and death pair would be cool. Although Dusknoir does sorta collect souls.

That would be a cool idea. The two towers in Johto represented life and death, and in the third generation, the Cave of Origin represented birth while Mt. Pyre represented death. The concept however has yet to be made into pokemon so it would definitely work.

Perhaps Earth, Wind, Fire and Air? I know Rayquaza, Kyuogre, Groudon and the likes have already took up some space, but perhaps they should really do something with this.
The four classical elements are a good idea, but one that I think is already covered by gen 3.
Groudon: Earth/Fire
Kyogre: Water
Rayquaza: Wind

Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza aren't the elements so much as they are land, sea, and sky (respectively).
I don't think Nintendo would break precident and make a Legendary quartet, but Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water as they appear in Japanese mythos would be pretty cool. A Ground tortoise, a Flying tiger, a Water dragon, and a Fire phoenix, maybe.
Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water in Japanese mythos? Sorry but you forgot "Void" or "Sky". No big deal, I had to use Wikipedia, too. Am I splitting hairs?

On the other hand, there are Wu Xing, the Five Elements of Chinese Philosophy, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. Should be distinguished.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_el...se_philosophy)
And to clarify, Fire, Earth, Air and Water are the four elements in ancient Greek philosophy.

I admit, I only knew the difference between Greek and Chinese ones before this, and now I'm confused because the Wikipedia articles mention "Void" and stuff.
