Unlike other generations, all of the Johto starters maintain their single types through their final evolutions.

This was the first installment that put emphasis on [[Legendary Pokémon]] being actual legends in-game, in contrast to {{p|Mewtwo}} and the [[Legendary birds]] of Generation I. [[Ecruteak City]] fleshed out the legends of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and [[Legendary beasts|the three beasts]], their relationship with one another, and the story behind their departure (the [[Burned Tower]]). Lugia was also glimpsed by an elderly man in Ecruteak City, and others, who stated it looked like a dragon in the sky. Even the uncatchable {{p|Celebi}} was mentioned as the "Forest's Protector" at the shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].
