The games do not have a consistent term for what we call "legendary". This applies to both English games and Japanese games, though supposedly the Japanese games are even more inconsistent in what terms they use. I do know that the Japanese fanbase uses three different terms as opposed to just using "Legendary Pokemon" for everything like we do. Pic related.
Arcanine being the "legendary" pokemon was only to refer to the fact that it's based off a Chinese legend in the real world. Gen 1 never called the birds + mews "legendary".
