Pokemon: The Remarkable History Behind Lugia’s Creation

"Lugia is the legendary Pokemon most people associate with the Johto region alongside the Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal games. Known as the "Diving Pokemon," the Psychic/Flying-type has a polar opposite legendary, Ho-Oh. While Lugia is associated with being the guardian of the sea, Ho-Oh is the guardian of the sky. However, Lugia tends to get much more attention from fans both due to its popular dragon design and the recognition it receives from the anime and movies." - click image for article
