A Pokemon fan animation depicts what an encounter with Articuno, one of the three legendary bird Pokemon, would look like. In the first generation of Pokemon games, alongside Mewtwo and Mew, three legendary creatures were introduced in the form of the fire bird Moltres, the lightning bird Zapdos, and the ice bird Articuno. Since Pokemon's first generation, those three have become icons of the franchise. While they might not be Pokemon's strongest legendaries, they certainly have a memorable design and many players strongly remember their first encounter with one of these winged beasts.
