:From my perspective, it's an arbitrary point. Sure, Poison is the only type that lacks both a Legendary and a Mythical. So what? You could just as arbitrarily say (and I'm speaking in hypotheticals here) that X is the only type that lacks both a pseudo-legendary and a Totem Pokemon, or that Y is the only one that lacks both a Mega Evolution and a species-exclusive Z-Crystal. It means nothing to join together two disparate groups like that, in my opinion.

::Makes sense, but I kind of disagree about the "disparate groups" part. I mean, for the longest time the two categories were considered the same, outside of Japan at least. Both groups even appear in and share the same template that's at the bottom of every Mythical/Legendary's article. It just seems disingenuous and overly pedantic to say that the two groups were chosen arbitrarily and have nothing to do with each other. -[[User:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|ImNotGoodAtPasswords]] ([[User talk:ImNotGoodAtPasswords|talk]]) 07:08, 20 January 2018 (UTC) | ::Makes sense, but I kind of disagree about the "disparate groups" part.

:::I agree that it's willfully ignorant to pretend like "Legendary and Mythical" is an arbitrary grouping. Pretty much anyone would agree that this piece of trivia is relevant to the Poison type; but uptight pedants keep editing it out because they've got their panties in a twist over it. I'll keep putting this piece of trivia back in until the day I die -[[User:castformrain|castformrain]] ([[User talk:castformrain|talk]]) 12:03, 20 January 2018 (UTC) | |||
