Legends of Sinnoh

This is a sort of sequel to this picture: [link] I thought I would finish off the legendaries by drawing the new ones revealed with the launch of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In my opinion there were far too many legendaries this generation - they are becoming so common now! Oh well, it helps in the uber metagame I guess So here are my thoughts on these new Pokémon.

Phione: Very cute, actually. I think I prefer her to Manaphy. Though she is a very strange idea, being bred from a legendary Pokémon! I guess it's to make the people with Manaphy feel even more special.
Shaymin: Even though I haven't seen the Sugimori artwork yet, I love it! I think it's an adorable Pokémon - easily one of my faves from the 4th generation.
Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf: I really like these three and their Pokédex descriptions. I find the concept behind them interesting, and they're cute too - although I do wish they had been different types and not all Psychic.

Regigigas: I don't really like Regigigas - I find it rather ugly, especially with the random mix of dots and colours on its body. While a king of the Regis is a cool idea, I don't think this Pokémon fits the bill that well.
Heatran: Although I'm not sure of the purpose of this Pokémon, I do like its design. It looks very nice in PBR, and I like its gleaming eyes.
Cresselia: I made her slightly transparent if you look closely! One of my favourite new legendaries - I like the way she looks graceful and sleek.

Giratina: I am not fond of the wings on this Pokémon. I feel they are unnecessary and look rather silly, and I think he would look better without them. Not too fond of the colours either, though I do like his design.
Darkrai: I wasn't sure what to make of Darkrai until I saw his Sugimori art, and now I love him! I think his design is suitably menacing for a Pokémon of his type.
Arceus: Whilst I don't like his stat totals, I do like his design. I only wish I could get a better look at his face! I think he has a certain elegance...almost deer-like.

See the previous image for thoughts on Manaphy, Dialga and Palkia.

I'd like to know your opinions on legendary Pokémon. Do you use them in battle - why or why not? And what do you think of their designs?

Hope you enjoy! And now I must go to bed, for it is nearly 3am.
