Sometimes I think so. Remember the old days when you had one or two major legendaries a game and event Pokemon were few and far between? Those seem to be long gone now. Look:

Red and Blue

Main: Mewtwo
Extra: Articune/Moltres/Zapdos
Event: Mew

Gold and Silver

Main: Ho-oh/Lugia
Extra: Suicune, Entei, Raikou
Event: Celebi

Ruby and Sapphire

Main: Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza
Extra: Registeel/Regirock/Regice/Latias/Latios
Event: Jirachi/Deoxys

Diamond and Peal

Main: Dialga/Palkia/Girantina
Extra: Azelf/Mespirit/Uxie/Cresselia/Manaphy/Phione/Heatran/Regigigas
Event: Darkrai/Shaymin/Arceus

Black and White

Main: Zekrom/Reshiram/Kyurem
Extra: Cobalion/Terrakion/Virizion/Tornadus/Thundurus/Landorus
Event: Victini/Keldeo/Meloetta/Genesect

It seems like there's way too many extra legendary Pokemon nowadays, and when you then add the somewhat pointless additional events for old ones (remember things like the eon ticket or Mew on Faraway Island or Ho-oh/Lugia on Naval Rock?) and the extra ways to get old ones (the Arceus scene in Heartgold/Soulsilver, Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza being possible to get in the same game) it seems like too much focus is put on them.

Not to mention the games have gone from having them as sidequest rewards to having them as the main focus of the plot. You didn't need to catch or fight any in the first two generations, now you have to fight the cover legendary in every game (even the Gen II remakes).

Anyone agree?
 
I don't see what's bad about having more legendaries.
 
I think it's too much, but I still like it. I mean the more legendaries you catch, the better you look as a trainer. (If it meant anything to anyone in the real world.)
 
I like the legendaries, but I don't like it when people stack them on their teams. I try to not use them when fighting other people, and it really bugs me when I face a team comprised mainly of Legendaries...it stacks the odds against me. However, I do like the added challenge of catching them, and I like using them when it's been agreed we'll use them...I just feel that they overpower non-legendaries too easily when everyone is at 100.

Totally agree! I love the challenge, and satisfaction of catching a legendary. Sometimes I would forget to save first, and they would run/fly away... still burns my biscuits...
 
• The legendary cover faceoff thing has been going on since Silver and Gold was made.

• Anyways, I kinda agree that there are too many legendaries nowadays. In all honesty, I actually thought all the legendary stuff could have ended with Arceus. I mean really, with Pokemon such as Groudon, Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created..can't really get any higher than those..
