No one seems to understand what ShinyUmbreon is trying to say. And you're all just picking at holes in their post because they arent perfectly constructed and fully thought through, instead of addressing the actual point.
Let me try...
In the pokemon world, people research stuff. They assume things to fill the holes. They write down facts and theories. They might be wrong about lots of things.
Just because a scientist in the pokemon world says that Arceus created the universe, doesn't mean it has to be true. Neither if some elders tell you this as a myth.
They were not there when it happened. It is impossible to know. They do not know the actual truth.
....as for dex entries, yeah, no.
@Pedro:
You forgot one completely realistic possibility. They could create another "alpha" pokemon in another region, with its own creation story, extending this topic from "Mew or Arceus" to "Mew or Arceus or X".
And thats not how theories work. If you have a theory, you need the evidence to back it up. Right now its not remotely sufficient enough for me to "believe until proven otherwise".
So its more like, "just a myth, until proven as factual history"
And the anime is not canon. Its creators are not involved with gamefreak as they design pokemon and contemplate backstories. The anime can make up any stuff they seem fit to make a plot, and they do.
Whoa, wait a sec. When?

Gamefreak who created Pokemon said that so its a fact based on offical saying.
Whoa, wait a sec. When?
