I despise modern mythicals. It removes so many good designs from usable gameplay. It was tolerable when they were at least special story-wise like Mew, but now they just take random designs, give them 600 BST and call it a day. I would've liked to use Marshadow in SM, or have my Carbink evolve into Dance as was obviously originally intended.

the dynamax adventures are a passable solution to the legendary bloat and they're all realistically available now. the line between legendary and mythical is so arbitrary and mythicals should be in dynamax adventures too stupid that it's so hard to get a celebi, victini or whatever. just let people have them, or they'll just hack them into home from 3DS like anyone with a lick of sense

Which would be less grating if not for the fact that they keep going "hey, here's a postgame thing where you can catch every single past legendary ever." (as seen in ORAS, and USUM, and now SwSh) They should either have all of the legendaries, or none.

Especially when they keep adding in these increasingly elaborate methods to get them. Victini was the last one I can think of that they did sort of right with a side-area and mini-story to collect it in-game. The only issue with it was that they didn’t make the event some sort of download that would stay available rather than a one-time code.

frankly all event pokemon are pointless except for filling out the pokedex. the only good mythicals are like the celebi (or jirachi?) you can get at level 1 from the gamecube disc or whatever so you can actually name and use them

They usually have an "anything goes" tourney at some point where mythicals are allowed, if you specifically mean the online competitive stuff. Also, just like regular pokemon, there are some really dumb designs too. Like Red Baby Teething Ring.

Find a friend who plays go but doesn’t give a poo poo about main series and have them link their go to your Nintendo account. Go player gets Meltan boxes on the reg and you get the Melmetal and occasional free random garbage from your buddy.

Also, you could always ask in the goon discord. They helped me a lot when I was trying to get some mythicals, and with everyone that transfers a pokemon from Go getting a free Melmetal, there's bound to be lots of spares.

Like what good is it to me to be given an Elite 4 level guy. I'll never be able to play the actual game with it or have it grow as part of my team of bros I've caught. And even if they did come at level 1 they're fully evolved with pseudo legendary stats. Pokemon can be easy enough as it is. At least the few time I've used pseudo-legendaries on my team they don't reach those huge BST's until they've evolved multiple times. It's the same reason I don't use Legendaries during the story, it's basically cheating in an already pretty easy game. And even the post-game has become so anemic you basically can only use them in the Battle Tower and nowhere else.

To be fair though, the mythicals usually only come out when they want you back in gamestop to pre-order the next games anyway. So alot of people are already over the game by then. Back when Meloetta was coming out, I put off playing Black 2(?) or whichever it was for about a year, because it was level 15 or something extremely low in Japan. And I wanted to use it like you're talking about. And then when they released it in America during that gen's dying gasp, it was level 50 here instead. I think they just make them 100 now because people tend to just grab them and forget they exists these days.

I generally dgaf about mythicals, but am annoyed they contain unique type combos like fire/water and ghost/fighting. Also miffed that with the death of mega evolution, Altaria can no longer be dragon/fairy. The fluffy boy was robbed.

That makes it worse! It's removing content so they can try and milk more money from you, even if not directly. It's like a barely less scummy version of on-disc DLC. Though even without Mythical's theres an increasing problem with non-usable Pokemon. Whether you buy GameFreaks' line that Ultra-Beasts aren't Legendary or not, you can't deny it's a whole dozen designs out of the regional dex that can't be bred or caught at usable levels. And then there's just legendary bloat in general. the musketeers and Silvally would have been nice designs to fill out the dex. Did Gen 5 really need two legendary trios? Would it really break the game to let me breed a Type:Null to use in a new save? I just don't like when it seems like a fourth of the NatDex is labeled "Display Only".

They're always free though? Every single time they had an in-person thing, I'd just go into whatever store, and ask for a code, or use the download display, and walk right back out. It's also not up to gamefreak when it comes to releasing them. I've heard they're told to put the content in, and then either Nintendo, or some other part of the companies that own pokemon later decide, "Okay, now put the access out so we can promote [movie/card set/whatever]." Which is why DPPt had like, 4 items for accessing mythicals that just never got released.

Having legendaries or mythicals be possible to get early on at a low level has already been proven to be fun as hell with the Arceus event in HGSS. Hatching a level 1 Giratina to play through HeartGold was some of the most ridiculous fun I’ve had in a Pokémon game, if only for the novelty of it. Even unintentionally it’s great; it was always super fun to glitch out Gen 1’s encounter tables and make Mew show up at level 7 to use through the rest of the game. The way mythicals are distributed now feels like a vestige of “Gotta catch ‘em all!” when just the idea of getting a new Pokémon was exciting, but I think both the franchise (in the sense that that hasn’t been the slogan for years) and audience are pretty over that now. .... Except in our lizard brains that drive us to sign up for the Pokémon trainers club newsletter to get Zarude even though we’re fully aware we won’t use him.

I did this with the event Keldeo in... I don't remember if it was White or White2, but they distributed a lv 15 Keldeo and I used it on my team through the game and it owned and was super fun.
