Cresselia-the legend with the least screentime...

[SolxLuna]

its funny how when it does appear, it is not for long.

Even Phione got more screen time then cresselia, it got an whole episode about it called: 'hold the phione'

Lucario, a non-legendary pokemon got a whole movie about it
I am not complaining about the lucario movie because I liked that movie.

It got even less time then regigigas and heatran.

Heatran= movie 12
Regigigas= movie 11

Mew got the most screen time out of all legendarys(not including Ho-Oh's Cameos)

the 1st movie
the 8th movie
mastermind of mirage pokemon


I am not a cresselia fan, I just think that it did not get much screen time for a ledgendary.

Yeah, I noticed this too. I think they're saving Cresselia for the end of D/P. Ash and crew will hop on its back and it'll take them to a new planet where the fifth generation will reside! It must be why they're saving it for last!

 

[Cybersai]

There were simply too many legendaries this generation for them to all get proper screentime.

I blame GameFreak more than the writers. Did we really need 15+ legendaries or whatever it was this gen?

I thought Dialga did; three films, one episode, and multiple cameos if you include statues, drawings, and the orb.

It did get an episode though (Sleepless in Pre-Battle, shared with Darkrai. That's the best it could get, simply because Cresselia and Darkrai are more or less tied together as polar opposites.

Besides, not every legendary should get an episode focus, I mean, there's only so much you can do with it. A reference every so often is fair enough. Cresselia actually got subtly referenced in movie 10 with Dawn's Lunar Wing.

This is win.


Anyways, it might have a special part in the new movie >.> we may never know...until the movie comes out

Lucario is one of the mascots of gen 4, of course is going to get a lot of screen time.

And theres only so much you can do about Cresselia.Its not really a "versatile" legendary.
