Lugias whole purpose was to create arguments about its typing.

[Mystmon]

If I am not mistaken, it did have a part in the lore. It grew so enraged when two different regions fought over the Whirl Islands that it *split them in four.* And I thought that my RNG being rigged gave me anger, jeez.

"Nobody wants to be a Heatran"

Competitive Singles: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT

[MGVoltJesk]

Not so fun fact: This pokemon is the only not created by game freak, instead it was made by takeshi shudo (original writer of the anime and movies) for the movies only, he expressed surprise at seeing lugia in the games and movies, he mentioned he heavily abused alcohol and drugs at the time to create the episodes, movies and lugia, he expressed that one of his biggest regrets was allowing lugia to have a male voice in the movie despite him intending lugia to be a motherly figure and something beyond a pokemon, being the symbol for coexistence, lugia not having a female voice made him suicidal, and in his final years before he died from a brain hemorrhage he made several posts on his own blog about his obsession with lugia and how it meant everything to him, he died in 2010, source, his own blog translated from japanese to english

Lugia is a paid actor and not meant to do anything important

[ThatBluDude]

Not to mention the depressing story behind Lugia's creation. Not lore-wise, I mean the real life creation of this thing.

[zabeerfarid]

If lugia was never created we might not see the split legendary dynamic we see today

[DCBiscuit]

I think Lugia having a focus on the legendary birds was a way of bringing attention to Kanto being in GSC. Ho-Oh got the new trio since rebirth and newness and all of that, Lugia got the old trio because… uh… marketing?

[Kulkogo]

Fun fact: Lugia was not only intended to be a girl (which would have made it the first legendary with an official gender), but also EXCLUSIVE to the movie it was in. Instead, Lugia was played by a boy, slapped into Silver last minute, and is genderless.

Also, the creator of Lugia was on drugs while making the entire plot of the movie.

I wanna give Lugia a hug.

Poor thing gets shafted in story, it doesn't leave it's underwater home almost every because of the 40 day rain issue, it's theme seems to be trying to make you think it's a heartless monster.

[CosmicCorviknight]

Lugia should be present in an Orange Islands region where it has rich legends about it, but it received the Zygarde treatment and got shunted into another region where no one had heard of it

[olive_garden]

They gave it more lore in one of the short series. They made an episode with the Kimono Girls and gave it the role of bringing the storm that calmed the fire down.

[CharlieTurnip]

The eevee silhouettes are such a nice detail

[bloodwar]

One of the pokedex entries states it's 'The Guardian of the Sea'

So clearly, he's Kyogre's personal bodyguard.

[MASTERSOT]

Lugia make the most important work, starred in a movie, which played a major role in make many of us buy his Cartridges instead of Ho-Oh

[joannamysluk]

The flag appearing when he says "the game CAME OUT" is brilliant.

We love you, Lesbian Ho-Oh.

[unownthequestioning]

"Nobody Wants to be a Heatran!"

*Smogon entered the chat.

[Imamotherfreakingavocado]

Imagine how unmemorable it would have been if they didn't put it on the cover and just gave it the Heatran treatment, that woulda been sad

[Debuttfes]

Maybe ho-oh being the only intended legendary for both versions is the reason why its shiny is gold and silver too! I always wondered why lugia’s was pink and ho-oh’s felt more thematic

[RiciRevenge]

Lugia went to Whirl Islands because of his aggressions created a storm which destroyed and burned the Brass Tower.
