The Origin looks to be a happy medium for this though! It's the crazy badass power, but restricted to legendaries / mega forms.In the HGSS Arceus event, Cynthia even says that people overreacted to Pokemon's powers in ancient times and developed legends based around some of their signature abilities. Judgment sending out a flurry of glowy gobby things could look like spectral arms, hence the 1,000 arms myth. Dialga screwing with resident spacetime with Roar of Time = "motherfucker is the Lord of Time," and so on.And "look at all the fucks I give" Blastoise.
I've never even considered this. God, that's fascinating. For ALL of the years I've let my imagination run rampant with how the mechanics of the Pokemon universe would work, it has always been informed by taking dex entries at face value. I did the Arceus event in HG/SS too... I'm not sure why that tidbit whizzed straight over my head.
The more I think about it, the more I like it though. Gives the creatures are more mystical quality in relation to how humans view them.
What a badass franchise
