* Genderless Legendary Pokémon who appear in the anime are usually given a voice that is either identifiably male or female, if able to [[Talking Pokémon|converse with humans]]. One exception is {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} in the original Japanese, who was voiced by Akihiro Miwa (a female impersonator) in order to give it an androgynous-sounding voice.

* While the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, was added to the original games right before release, the concept of "{{tt|illusory|Same term translated as 'mythical' by TPCi}} monsters" already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. Some of them were said not to be catchable, and some not even encounterable. As an example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around 2 hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

* [[Deoxys_(Pokémon)|Deoxys]] is the only Mythical Pokémon to become Legendary, having been event-exclusive prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is the only Mythical Pokémon to become available in a core series game without an {{pkmn2|event}}.
** Because Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon were not considered to be distinct terms in the translated versions prior to Generation V, Deoxys actually switched from Legendary to Mythical at the start of Generation V, meaning that it was only Mythical for one Generation (although it was an Illusory Pokémon in the Japanese versions since its introduction).
** Consequently, Deoxys is the only Pokémon at the end of a generation (in [[National Pokédex]] order) that isn't event-exclusive.
