Talk:Mythical Pokémon
An errors
All the sections should not start with one (1) = and then move upwards but instead start with two (2) == and from there move onto three (3) and four (4) etc. --Raltseye 12:23, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information. It should be fixed now. Were there any other errors with the page's layout that you noticed? Paᗧ•••ᗣck 17:16, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yes
- 1. Add a see also section as follow:
- ==See also==
- 2. Mayby adding a average stats template and seperate the Legendary Pokémon template to a Mythical Pokémon template and add that here but that can be done when this has been mainspaced instead perhaps. --Raltseye 15:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'll definitely add a see also section. I'll also add an average stats and "If you were looking for" section. However, those are coming after the bulk of the article is finished.
- May I ask what you mean by separating the Legendary Pokémon template from the Mythical Pokémon template? Paᗧ•••ᗣck 04:07, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
Is it worth mentioning that PMD's Alakazam considers Lati@s mythical?

I will be honest, I still consider mythicals to be legendaries. Unowninator (talk) 06:22, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- The image shows Alakazam saying mythical (lowercase) not Mythical or Mythical Pokémon. The word "mythical" =/= "Mythical Pokémon", otherwise Arcanine would be a Legendary Pokémon, etc. --Abcboy (talk) 06:36, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Ah, didn't realize capitalization mattered. Sorry. Unowninator (talk) 06:37, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Also, Red/Blue Rescue Team are from Generation III, and the English localizations didn't start distinguishing between Legendary and Mythical Pokémon until Generation V. Anything from before Gen V can't reliably be used to prove things one way or the other. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 06:51, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Really? That's good to know, thanks. Unowninator (talk) 15:30, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Trivia
Is it worth mentioning that, if Arceus holding the Mind Plate is counted, every generation has introduced at least one Psychic-Type Mythical Pokemon?--LavaringX (talk) 00:03, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- I wouldn't think so. We don't typically count Arceus as anything but Normal for the purposes of trivia. Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 01:33, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Poodle is a dog.
Aren't Mythical Pokemon still Legendary Pokemon? You wouldn't say a poodle isn't a dog. - unsigned comment from TsukikoKoizumi (talk • contribs)
- That's not logic. You're completely presuming that Mythicals are Legendary, not "proving" it in any way.
- I'm not entirely familiar enough to tell you why, but it has been our clear policy that Legendaries and Mythicals are separate. Tiddlywinks (talk) 07:27, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- "Mythical Pokémon [...] are a group of Legendary Pokémon seen so rarely in the Pokémon world that some question their very existence." --Super goku (talk) 07:29, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Ok, tell me, not counting Phione, who is still debatable as a Mythical Pokemon, how many Mythical Pokemon can you get that have no legend attached to them? The definition I've been given is "Event-only Pokemon". Personally, I agree with Super goku, that makes the most sense. TsukikoKoizumi (talk) 07:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- "Legendary" Pokemon are not defined by having a "legend". Rather simply, only Pokemon that official sources call "Legendary Pokemon" are Legendary Pokemon. Tiddlywinks (talk) 07:44, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
The definition I've been given is "Event-only Pokemon" (which, btw, would include Surfing Pikachu, and I'm pretty sure we can all agree that isn't a Mythical Pokemon.), while the best description of a Legendary Pokemon I've gotten from your site is a Pokemon you can only get once per game cartridge. Well, that definition includes Mythical and Starter Pokemon, so a better explanation would be "A Pokemon that, in-universe, has a legend associated with it", but that would include Mythical Pokemon, hence why I suggested stating they were a class of Legendary Pokemon. So, to sum it up, it'd be inaccurate to say they aren't Legendary as well. Personally, I agree with Super goku, that makes the most sense. TsukikoKoizumi (talk) 07:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
