In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to Generation V, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon (and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused); in non-Japanese media from Generation V onward, the two groups are presented as distinct groups. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''. | In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon have always been presented as distinct groups.
