:::::::::However, as the user above pointed out, in other instances the Japanese term for "legendary" was used. It's clear that "mythical" is being used as an adjective, not as a title (If they called Miraidon and Koraidon "powerful Pokémon", would that make "Powerful Pokémon" the official name for the group?). Besides, "creation trio" is much more widely used, having 104,000 hits on Google vs. just 3,870 for "Pokémon of myth", with every search result for the latter term besides Bulbapedia using it to refer to [[Mythical Pokémon]]! It's clear that "Pokémon of myth" is an awful title for this page, and the placeholder of "creation trio" is infinitely better.

{{Indent}}There really is no need to overdramatize this. We really only use fan terms if there's no other option, and we've been generally moving away from fan terms anyway. Pokémon of Myth isn't perfect, and not my favorite, but it's our best option in the absence of a proper official group title.

:The whole point is that there is not enough evidence that this is even an official term, as official sources have not used this term consistently to refer to this trio (as evidenced by no official sources showing up in the search results when "Pokémon of Myth" is Googled). There's an argument to be made that using a widespread fanmade term is better than a convoluted official one that doesn't see wide usage, and I have made that argument, but this isn't even a real official term. The search for anything resembling an official term is getting absurd at this point, since few people use "Pokémon of Myth", the few that do use it to refer to Mythical Pokémon, and it has seen no official use beyond one achievement name, which is not a standard that is being used to determine any other official names (else the Lake Trio is now the "Lakes of Sinnoh"). The old name wasn't causing any problems, why did you feel the need to "fix" it? [[User:Biblical Bambi|Biblical Bambi]] ([[User talk:Biblical Bambi|talk]]) 22:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC) | |||
