Is it bad that I'm only now finding out that Mythical Pokemon are a thing?

I mean, I guess it makes sense for Legends and Mythicals to be seperate classifications, but you'd think there would have been a bit more hooplah around it.

I thought the term "mythical pokemon" was fairly recent

It was a subtle addition that they decided to localize it in gen 6. It took me a while to figure it out, too. Imo it's only really important for the anime and when dealing with semantics.

Nah, like the others said, it was pretty recent terminology. I only found out "mythical" was a thing about one-two years ago, when sites insisted on calling Hoopa and Diancie such.

If it makes you feel any better, if for years you called Mew/Celebi/Jirachi/etc. something like "Event Legendaries", then you basically called them Mythicals from the start

Nah don't be. I only really fully realized it when Picross counted them differently.

>>26924809
As far as I can tell, mythical is a subsection of legendary, the requiring caveat being that they're event only (Phione as the obvious exception) while normal legendaries are catchable in game. That's why Mewtwo and the Musketeers are legendary while Mew and Keldeo are mythical.

They're simply what we've called Event legendaries for ages. They're also always dead last in the Pokédex for each generation.
Victini, your gimmick doesn't change that fact.

Weirdly enough, 13 years later, Deoxys lost that status with ORAS, which is a first in the series.

I literally found out last month what a Mythical Pokemon was. I still call them all legendary though; way easier.

This is pretty much correct, but apparently TPCi officially considers Mythicals separate from Legendaries. Even Bulbapedia's following it: recently, all the Mythicals were removed from the Legendary Pokémon page on Bulbapedia and put onto their own page. It's so bizarre to look at the Legendary page and see that a bunch of content that was there not too long ago is gone. It's also stupid.

How are basic observation skills 'autism'?
If anything keeping track of every brand new terminology they come up for artificially categorizing pokemon is autistic.
