Mythicals are legendaries, but not every legendary is a mythical

UBs are not legendary and shouting like a retard won't make them be either

If you're counting UBs and Mythicals anyway, you're missing Blacephalon, Stakataka, Meltan and Melmetal from Gen VII.
>>38827417
Mythicals actually aren't Legendaries, either. They used to be localized as such, but a) they've always been distinct, non-overlapping categories in Japan and b) even in the localizations starting when the term Mythical was first introduced, no Mythical has ever been called Legendary, and we've repeatedly been told "every Legendary Pokémon" for things that don't include Mythicals (like the Legendary rushes in ORAS and USUM). It's pretty clear that they're not supposed to be a subcategory.
Ordinarily, I wouldn't bother correcting you or think it was worth pointing out to anyone; if someone just used Legendary "improperly" in a casual conversation, why should anyone care? But since you're specifically discussing the definition (and, in this case, actively correcting someone about it), I do think it's appropriate to bring it up.

Can Deoxys really still be considered mythical after ORAS? Isn't the whole point of mythicals that they're not even regularly available?

Honestly, I personally would never have called it that based on the definitions alone. However, there's an NPC who calls it Mythical in ORAS, so I am forced to accept it. I suppose (between that and the Crystal VC Celebi) that the definition could be broadened to "species that started out event-only for the entirety of their debut Generation" (carefully tailored to include those two and exclude things like Spiky-eared Pichu, Zorua and Ash-Greninja...), but even that honestly feels overly specific and cumbersome; the easiest answer is just "whatever Game Freak says."
This is, for clarity, pretty much the exact reason why I don't think it's worth correcting anyone about the semantics unless the definition itself is the topic of discussion.

Lore-wise, they really aren't. You even caught them in the fucking tall grass. Coding wise, I've seen they are considering as legendaries, but honestly I'll go with the lore and say they really aren't.

They fulfill the same niche as sublegends for the most part. They’re only not labeled that because of a technicality.

This. You actually know your stuff.
>>38828686
It's arbitrary.
Celebi is still considered Mythical even though you can obtain it without events in VC Crystal.

I don't see what the point of arguing it even is. If you ignore Ultra Beasts, you still have a total of 14 by that chart, leaving it just as bloated as Sinnoh.

Gen 3 model of legendaries and such was the best model. 10 is a nice round number of them to have.

3 box arts, the trio, 2 version exclusive, 2 event.
