>>57859679>Fallacy - because I can't catch them today, that means they were never catchable11Gen 3 Faraway Island Mew was catchable, but also got a Fateful Encounter flag, Celebi can be encounters after entering the hall of fame in VC Crystal. Same for Darkrai and Shaymin in both Gen 4 and Gen 8 (they gave you TWO opportunities each to catch it even), with the same "Fateful Encounter" tag being applied to all instances, Meloetta can be found in ID's Costal biome and Keldeo can be found after catching all 3 Swords of Justice and holding a camp on an island in the Crown Tundra. And yes, they very much still retain their Mythical status, DESPITE being available to catch to all long-term players through the Gens, so why the fuck would any other Mythical lose that status because it was catchable in-game without an event item once?
