While most regions don’t have such strong religious beliefs attached to their legendary pokemon, it’s a written law in Alola and Unova that forbids the catching of local legendary pokemon. Their spiritual belief in them goes as far as to claim that it’s in fact impossible for a legendary to be caught and kept in a pokeball.
Local 15 year olds: lmao let’s see about that
Lillie, a 11 years old girl: funny, I’ve got one right in my bag!
The law: *states that you cannot catch our legendaries. They are too powerful and precious to our history. Therefore, they shall be left to roam freely for as long as they may live.*
Every 10 year old in the region:
