>>58334823Thing is about Meloetta and why she is a mythical pokemon is because she is inspired by Muses, greek goddesses of creativity and music. She gives off a goddess-like vibe with her portrayal in the anime. Making her a ordinary pokemon would defeat that purpose.
>>58334835> She is a gimmick that has died and has even been downgraded to capturable.I don't think mythicals are gimmicks, since they're purpose is being super rare and unique, and being catchable isn't necessarily a downgrade. She's still a rarity and how you find her in-game isn't something that you can easily figure out and only pertains to the DLC if you purchase it, I believe. Besides, it's not like how they've treated main and sub legendaries by making them all catchable in every game.
