::Also, for anyone who's wondering, "mythical Pokémon" is lowercase like "legendary Pokémon". While pretty much everything else capitalizes them, the in-game dialogue doesn't (for in-game usage of "mythical Pokémon", see post-defeat quote of the first Grunt in Liberty Garden). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 13:07, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

:::Not sure how this factors into the discussion, but Nintendo has recently uploaded [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXJJM7bWcjg a commercial] for ''[[Black 2 and White 2]]'' that utilizes the term "Mythical Pokémon" over "Legendary Pokémon" when describing [[Genesect]] near the end. As for my own two cents, I haven't seen "Mythical Pokémon" used much in media except in reference to a scant few Unova-native Legendary Pokémon...I'm not sure whether the term "Mythical Pokémon" is intended to be recognized as a sub-category of Legendary Pokémon, or if the term will supplant "Legendary Pokémon" outright. I personally haven't seen any classification displayed that distinguishes/divides "Legendary Pokémon" from "Mythical Pokémon", only that "mythical" has been preferred/used over "legendary" in recent Pokémon promotions.

:::Adding to my previous post, it seems that the official YouTube channels for Nintendo and Pokémon (North America) have uploaded 3 similar commercials, all advertising ''Black 2/White 2'' (all of which advertise Genesect as a 'mythical Pokémon').  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfJK8zwan30 This video] from the Pokémon side of things is specifically titled "September Legendaries Trailer" (to distinguish it from the other 2 uploads), yet Genesect is ''still'' referred to as a "Mythical Pokémon" at the end of the video.  Seeing as the "Legendaries" term is still in use, I'm still inclined to believe that "Mythical Pokémon" is more of a sub-category for "Legendary Pokémon", although I'll wait to see other users' takes on the matter.
