Reminder that Arcanine is a legendary. Both the anime and the ingame pokedex depicted it as such. You literally cannot refute this.

it was originally supposed to be one but they shifted it down on the totem pole, so it's merely just a "really strong" pokemon.

The most important part of the totem pole is the bottom, tard.

My theory is that they designed the mons first, decided on there being 4 non-Mewtwo legendaries, and then determined that it was fucking stupid that two of them could only reasonably be fire types and that two legends would be fire so they bumped Arcanine down. Modern GF would 100% have too many fire type legendaries though

It makes a lot of sense, especially considering some of the betamons, and the fact that Lugia wasn’t originally made for the games. But this all seems to imply the dog and bird trios were thought of pretty early on.

The Beasts weren't created when they were making Gen I you tool. They came after getting the green light for Pokémon 2, by which time they'd already changed Arcanine.

Where did I say that they were around in gen 1? I just mean I think they MIGHT have conceptualized the idea while making gen 1. Arcanine does have a weird amount of attention in the anime, and his pre-evo definitely feels tacked on, as it often is with shillmons (see: Riolu). Then you take into account the attention Ho-oh gets, along with the sudden appearance of Lugia, and some of the beta designs, like the beasts/cats being dogs originally, plus pic related, and you can see how it kind of looks like they might have wanted to do a dog trio and a bird trio in the early days of Pokemon. Obviously they scrapped the idea, but Arcanine and Ho-oh might be remnants from that idea.

Rotom's status is still weird to me. It can't breed, but it isn't normally encountered otherwise. Type Null is also lumped into this weird category.

Rotom can breed in games after Diamond and Pearl. It's funny because it is possibly the only Pokemon in the franchise to be de-legendaried. The only thing that comes close is Zoroark who was arguably a mythical in its debut

One of Crown Tundra's selling points was that it had "all legendary Pokemon" and that's what this image is trying to convey, half of these were already in SwSh before CT but this image shows them anyway so we can conclude it's supposed to show precisely which Pokemon are (fully evolved) legendary and which are not.

SwSh had Mythical Pokemon before CT and CT added some more, but it's not what this image is about.

True. Legendary Pokemon is just strong, one-in-a-game Pokemon but over the generations this definitions blurs. I guess they wanted to make it umbreedable and somehow related to Arceus by this status.
