So, apparently the general consensus is that the Tapu are not Legendary Pokémon. How come?

The games code calls them sub legendaries and their BST is only 570.

The game mechanically considers them on the same level as all lesser legendaries from the past, so I will do the same.
Same with the UBs and the Type: Null line.

The game also calls shit like Articuno sublegendary so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

They are?? Classification aside, they're still under the category of what we call 'Legendary'.

In the games code Type: Null, Silvally, the Tabu and the Ultra beasts are reference as "Sub-legendaries". Mesprit and co. would most likely be considered Sub-legendaries also, but since they aren't in the dex, we dunno.

So they are essentially legendary in lore, but for game purposes are considered Tier B legendaries.

They are basically the trio of this gen.

By the way what is lele supposed to be?

I never bothered using the Z-move with lele to see the thing put together.

Legendaries are anything that are not banned in battle facilities ingame. Those are mythicals.

Nothing wrong with using legendaries.

Meh, whatever floats your boat cause in-game dialogues and references are enough for me to call them Legendaries.

And they do felt like one, cause they rarely show up, have their own abandoned ruins deep on each island and all.

The plot of the game wasn't driven forward by the presence of the Tapus whatsoever. At no point in the game were any of your motives driven by the existence of these pokemon. They aren't plot points. Seeing Koko at the start was the equivalent of Ash seeing Ho-oh. It was to put you in awe of the capabilities of the pokemon and give you something to look forward to catching later.

Not only does it kickstart your path as the prodigy Trainer MC, it gives the only tangible meaning in your traditionally ambiguous quest.

That's completely wrong, retard.
Mythicals are legendary pokémon not catchable in the main games. Events and sidegames are necessary to transfer them

Holy fuck I don't understand how the three different classifications of legendaries are so fucking difficult for you retards to grasp.

- Sublegendaries (official term used in the game's code) are any legendaries that are allowed in Battle Tower/Maison/Tree
- Legendaries are legendaries that are not sublegendaries but are catchable in-game without having to activate a Mystery Gift event
- Mythicals (official term used in NPC dialogue) are event legendaries that are given out or activated through Mystery Gift

That's it, it's not harder than that. Only thing of notice is that Deoxys was technically demoted from Mythical to a plain legendary.

Pokémon that were banned in VGC16 were mythicals, anything included is not a mythical. This includes all cover legendaries.

For the last fucking time no it wasn't.

http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/the-2016-video-game-championship-format-has-been-announced/

>All discovered Pokémon will be allowed except the following Mythical Pokémon: Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Diancie, and Hoopa.
>Deoxys

There is no such thing as being demoted. When a Pokemon is deemed Legendary or Mythical, that title and its limitations stay with them for life.

You have to choose.
Will you make it a physical attacker or a special attacker?

It could go either way.

No, they aren't.

However the only way to get Mega Stones is thru Battle Tree, each is 60 something points maybe?
