Pokémon Evolution/Capture/Release Thread

I think that Ash will eventually get a legendary since he has encountered so many.

He technically already got 5, since Ultra Beasts are sub-legendaries.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

I count Melmetal, though isn't it more of a Mythical?

Ye

 

[Lightning Flame Blast]

There’s quite literally no difference between Mythical and Legendary beyond the marketing title they get.

True. As far as I know Mythical just means "DLC Legendary".

They're not. They're a similar, but separate group.

I respectfully disagree. The two terms have been distinctive in Japan since day one. It's just its late implementation into the international terminology that's made some people hesitant to accept "Legendary" and "Mythical" as different things.

But there’s no in-universe justification for Mewtwo and Genesect falling under different categories. The one difference between Mythicals and Legendaries is marketing status, so I don’t get why people are so adamant about correcting this every single time when they are the same thing within context.

The only destinction is how they are obtained in the games, but that doesn't apply to the anime.

Maybe because they were clearly trying to focus on Cinderace's development first?

Yeah, it feels like they are focusing on one starter at a time in terms of development. Cinderace is finished, so now it is Sobble’s turn.

Still doesn't affect that it still applies to their species as a whole.

Mythicals Are Legendaries

 

[dawn dusk]

In some circumstances Mythical and Legendaries are nearly same in some they aren't.
I distinguished both classes by assuming that Legendaries are Gods and Mythicals are Prophets.

Yes But They Are Still Legendary

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I’m pretty sure mythicals are meant to be event exclusive legendaries- that’s it.
BAR CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES before I get 20 people reminding me about Deoxys and the like.

Not if its just fan art

Maybe.

But it's also possible the artist just did this for fun because the Skwovet is tipping me off.

Didn't it already evolve?

It shouldn't exist at the same as Grookey's debut

Unless Goh catches another Skwovet?

 

[RileyXY1]

I believe that if Ash gets Grookey then it will mean officially that Gen 8 will last for four years and we won't see Gen 9 until 2023.

So Grookey is confirmed then? Okay.


Also does anyone else notice Pikachu, Sobble and Grookey are wearing Demon Slayer bands?
