Wasn't Pokemon made with the idea of catching bugs and trading or something? So why are there no bug legendaries? I'd like to see a tarantula or a mantis (they used butterflies multiple times...). Maybe even a large hornet. Quick! Go to that Encyclopedia Dramatica page with the Japanese bug fights and look for other ideas!
It appears you are correct!
I was getting the same exact idea, too.
I guess bugs just aren't the first thing that comes to mind when people think of all powerful beings. I've always wanted one though. Maybe a centipede?
If we're thinking about bugs, then let the Fight-type get one too.
...Does anyone think of a Bug/Fighting type legend who happens to be a grasshopper? And does anyone think that would be an amusing (if incredibly stereotypical) pun?
Heracross is not legendary, though.
Heracross is also not a grasshopper, it's a Heracles Beetle. Think about it for a moment. What does every stereotypical martial arts instructor call their pupils? Grasshopper, for some insane reason I don't want to comprehend. A Bug/Fighting grasshopper? Clearly a legend in the making.
There are no poisons either. I'd rather have a poison legendary than a fighting. Fighting is a boring type.

I think that'd be hilarious. We need more comedy and memorability with legendaries these days so I'd love to see that.
Scratch that. I fully support it. Someone draw this

We must have at least one talented spriter here. Bug/Fighting that's a grasshopper. I would use Scizor, Hricketune, Kricketot, etc.
