I learned this shit as a kid, can grab a photo of the book that I read it in as a kid if you want.

That it does explain all box legends since they started running box legends. Though I do concede Ho-Oh was meant to be a "both copies" box legend 'till Lugia popped up, but since they subsequently ran with it, they established a dynamic going forward.
