Of course they are. They're one of a kind and are worshiped by the local people.

They're more "legendary' than most other trios/quartets.

Game code defines them as sublegendary, same as stuff like Articuno and Registeel. Good enough and I'm not watching the video.
We've had this debate a million times.

No, Verlisify is saying that they ARE legendaries, and Bulbapedia is being stupid.

Which is true.

This is the same wiki that lists Ash's Charizard's gender as "unknown" when it's clearly a male.

Yes it does. I'd say that is actually the most definitive usage of it aside from direct statements from the devs.

Game code is just a mechanic. Story and gameplay segregation.

Game code also defines much of the elements in the game regardless of story. Even if you were to use the tired, tvtropes tier argument of S/G segregation, that doesn't mean that the game code suddenly "doesn't mean shit" and the story instantly overrides everything laid out in the actual gameplay.

Apparently. We've gone over this with the UBs and Type: Null, so I guess the Tapus need their turn.

Gameplay and story segregation is a valid argument (it happens in a lot of games, not just Pokemon), but it doesn't apply here.

The Tapus are treated as legendaries in-universe, and the game code says they're legendaries, so they're legendaries. There's no segregation here.

Indeed. So many times that gameplay and story segregation is brought up yet no one ever considers that it is just one end of the gameplay and story INTEGRATION scale.

I understand that it is a valid argument but people use it to dismiss things after making a poorly thought out, sweeping statement, rather than articulating a proper response.

Bulbapedia refuses to list any of the sublegends in SM as legendary, actually.
No UBs
No Silvally
No Tapus

I can't fathom why people overcomplicate what a legendary Pokemon is. It's really not hard and doesn't need subgroups.

Game Freak/TPC themselves divide them into subgroups.

Sublegendaries are trios like the legendary birds/beasts, and the Tapus.

Legendaries are the high BST box mascots.

Mythicals are the event-only ones, and aren't required for Pokedex completion.

Yeah, and it's stupid and unnecessary and has only served to complicate a simple issue.

"Legendary Pokemon" is all they need to be called. People can distinguish the slight differences between Articuno and Lugia.
