::::::::::::: If any given player says that Pikachu is a legendary, would that make it a legendary? In their mind, perhaps, but this is a professional wiki that deals with only official information, especially with such discrete categories such as "legendary" --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 02:23, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

(Reset indent) The argument most people made is always about the gts filter. <br />Fact 1: it is filtered away by the gts, so we know it is NOT a normal pokemon, or at least we know it is special.<br /> Fact 2: the filter is named legendary and mythical pokemon.<br />So the question is, are WE the ones creating new labels now for type null, since we do not want to classify it as normal pokemon, yet we do not want to classify it as legendary. same for UBs. Ultra Beast/ is just a group name (not a classification), just like every other legendary group name. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 09:51, 18 October 2017 (UTC)<br />(add on) For know, it is best to have a dispute section like phione's page, where we provide both sides of the argument for type: null being legendary or not, or have the section in the legendary pokemon page first before a final decision is made, or official statement is made. -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] ([[User talk:Pokeant|talk]]) 09:58, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

:Well, I don't think it's as much "disputed" as it is "not confirmed". Not too many arguments can be made against it that I know of that's not just assumptions about what it means to be a Legendary Pokemon.
:Phione is a special case because discussion about Phione's mythical status has been going for probably 10 years now. Even almost a year after Sun and Moon, Type:Null's legendary status isn't exactly a hot topic. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 12:28, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
