>>58185122TQ: Within my setting, Mythical Pokemon are the ones with the most presence beyond the borders of Japan. Most characters in the immediate story/setting (American prison planet) are scum and would try to steal and sell them off or vivisect them for science. Most "fateful encounters" involving the mythical choosing the trainer rather than the other way around.
Let's see what I can remember:
Mew was discovered in South America centuries after the first Pokemon appeared in the Kanto region of Japan in the late 18th century. The creation of Dittos from Mew DNA helped kickstart the various bloodlines of human clones. Many people are Pokemon without even realizing it, but that's practically a technical assessment rather than phenological. No one is sure what happened to Mew afterwards. Pure Mew samples or the subsequent Ditto cells are the equivalent of Henrietta Lack cells in biopokengineering. I have no clue who Mew would choose other than someone who says "I won't gut you."
After 1945, the Victini population never stopped growing. Here's Dan and Garcian's Landlord: Little Boy and Fat Man.
I decided to give him a Victini just today because he's another extremely funny reason why they don't dare cross him.The only Legendary I have who works as an actual legend is Mewtwo, who immediately pulled a Dr. Manhattan after Giovanni and fucked off into outer space during the Cold War, which was infinitely more fucked than reality.
YOU SEE ME NOW, A VETERAN OF A THOUSAND PSYCHIC WARS. Around his planet is a thick layer of orbital wreckage and the spaceborne ghosts of dead travellers who stumbled onto his planet and were instantly killed in retaliation. Whether he gave them warning to fuck off or not is known only to him. He also lives in a giant badass castle of course.
It is known that all of the mythical and legendary pokemon would instantly lose to the most powerful force in the world: American censorship committees. Ha ha.
