@BigCNuggit: Hi! I don't know if you read this, but this piece is specifically about a super-rare item you can only get from Ball Guy in the endgame and is definitely different than the Kotaku piece you linked. Also, both articles are just for fun! Sometimes we wanna have fun when we write things.
@DL_C: The IV stat checker was added early on, yes, but the judge function in the Pokemon box was not added until Gen 7. I don't think it's misleading.
I'd consider Type: Null and Silvally to be pseudo-legendaries, but I guess that's a matter of debate.
