Oftentimes, the fate of the world seems to hinge on your success taming these beasts. Of course: perhaps Kyogre did not create the Earth's waters—but its mere presence can apparently still cause floods of biblical proportions. That's still pretty big.
Giratina, meanwhile, presides over a bizarre alternate dimension, shown to be very much real.
Ho-Oh's legend allows for some doubt; it presents itself mainly as a unique Pokémon which often perched itself on a certain tower, and around which legends were spun. You can investigate the legend and be rewarded with a special Pokémon, the true core of the tales told. This is much more subtle.
Mewtwo, too is a legendary Pokémon as I would prefer them. You learn about it from incomplete records, and it becomes evident that it is very powerful. So you can seek it out, challenge it, and with a lot of effort subjugate it—a proof of your strength, and a conclusion to an obscure chapter of history.
Quite a far cry from it being shoved in your face that this ruler of the elements is going to end the world unless you throw a Pokéball at it.
