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); since Generation V, the two groups are presented as distinct groups in all official media. The first time Mythical Pokémon were distinguished from Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media was in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, where they were referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''. | In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] have always been presented as distinct groups.
