Quote from Steelia
Deoxys is a virus that underwent a strenuous DNA mutation when struck by a ray out in space. It is the only Pokemon by far that was created in space (an "alien", if you will).
Ok, most Legendary Pokemon have a backstory, like Mewtwo.
Quote from Steelia
What makes Deoxys unique?
Most Legendary Pokemon are totally unique without anyone having their uniuqe component (btw Deoxys is Psychic; not the most unique Legendary type, I'm just saying)
Quote from Steelia
Q: Where do you find Deoxys?
A: Deoxys can be found in the following: FireRed on Birth Island (in Attack Form), LeafGreen on Birth Island (in Defense form), Emerald on Birth Island (in Speed form), and in a special event in Japan in commemoration of the 10th movie (in Basic form).
Oh, and there aren't other Pokemon available ONLY through events and/or action replay?
Quote from Steelia
[i]Imagine it transforming into all said forms: Attack form when attacking, Defense form when dodging or blocking, Speed form when running or executing faster moves, and Basic form when idle, walking, or using basic techniques.
So it looks a little cooler in Brawl by transforming -.-
Quote from Steelia
Other Pokemon have been in movies, Legendary in dungeons, etc. and have done w/e in games like played big parts. (ie: being on the cover)
Quote from Steelia
-Deoxys has appeared in its own special for the anime, where a Pokemon Ranger must calm it (inspired by the game).
Oh, and Deoxys is the ONLY Pokemon in anime?
Quote from Steelia
-Deoxys was even introduced by NASA, in order to teach children about science (such as the term DNA, the definition of extraterrestrial, the ozone layer's importance, etc.).
Not the first Pokemon to be based off of something.
Quote from Steelia
Recently, a poll was held to choose the most popular movie Pokemon (there were nine Pkmn movies at this point, and many contenders, including Mewtwo, Lugia, Entei, a Latios and Latias combo, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, and a Lucario and Mew combo). And the winner was... none other than Deoxys. It came in a special Cherish Ball, and was Level 50 upon download.
Hmm... I thought some of those Legendary Pokemon were already obtainable... is it possible they wanted a Pokemon they couldn't get?
I'm terribly sorry but some of the arguments you made are transparent...
Sorry if I was angry XD just wanted to make a point XD
