Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Its base stat total of 600 and the stat distribution of 100 to each stat also created a trend followed by several Mythical Pokémon released later in the series. Pokémon following this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{form|Shaymin|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}. | Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]] and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. According to legend, Arceus also created two [[Legendary trio]]s. First, it created the [[Pokémon of Myth]]: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, to balance time, space, and antimatter. Then, it created the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, and created spirit, and has since been residing in the [[Hall of Origin]], which will connect to [[Spear Pillar]] when the Azure Flute is played there. As their creator, it is often viewed by fans as the [[Legendary leader|leader]] of both trios. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be considered the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be considered the master of two. | Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]] and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]].

Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One". Both [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] and the [[Plate]]s scattered across Sinnoh describe Arceus's creation of the universe. It receives more exposure in-game than Mythical Pokémon traditionally find. It is the titular character of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and a major focus of the [[Generation V]] [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Conquest}}. | Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One".
