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==

• Legendary Pokémon
• Event Pokémon
• Special Pokémon
• Myths and legends involving Legendary Pokémon
• Sinnoh myths
• History of the Pokémon world
• Pseudo-legendary Pokémon (mayby)

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)
