So... wouldn't make more sense talk about the mythicals in the legendary page too instead that only here? If still was any doubt about mythical still being legendaries, now this don't exist anymore--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 07:23, 14 August 2021 (UTC) | So... wouldn't make more sense talk about the mythicals in the legendary page too instead that only here?

:In Japanese, the Legendary and Mythical have always been separate groups. For instance, since Generation I, Mew is referred to (in Japanese) as a Mythical Pokémon (幻のポケモン) in the video games, the first movie, the manga Pokémon Adventures, the manga Pocket Monsters etc. | |||
:The English version used to lump both groups together and translate them as "Legendary" before (so that would mean Mew and Mewtwo were both "Legendary" in the translation). But then Legendary / Mythical started to be treated separately in English as well. That is not really a retcon, it's just properly translating from Japanese (although "Illusory Pokémon" would be a closer translation). | |||
:Thanks for these Pokémon Masters screenshots anyway. I also checked the Japanese text in the game, which also says it's about a Legendary Pokémon (伝説のポケモン) from Sinnoh that changes type. So looks like Arceus is really being called a Legendary for once at least. I think this actually looks like a mistake in the game text. This is also a spin-off game so it would probably not affect the [[canon]] as much as core series game. I don't think this is enough to do such a big change like treating Mythical as a subgroup of Legendary. That said, maybe the fact that Arceus was implied to be called a Legendary could be at least mentioned as a trivia point. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 09:38, 14 August 2021 (UTC) | |||
