Yeah, but I've tried looking for the source of those statements and haven't been able to find anything thus far. It's not mentioned in any of their respective Pokédex entries, and I don't recall any in-game myth making such a detailed mention of their origins (or any mention at all, for that matter).

I'd rather you didn't. That sounds like some seriously concentrated stoopid, right there.

Of course it's not funny. Five seconds of that dude talking at his camera and I knew full well exactly how NOT funny that was going to be. That... That was painful and I didn't watch anywhere close to the whole thing.

What we know from the origin of the Pokémon world / universe comes only from myth (nifty but not reliable) or Pokédex entries (written by 10-year old children who go around cutting Raticate whiskers, so there's that...); we don't have "official" in-universe word from any of the involved Legendaries at all. Thus, we don't really have a way to determine which one came before the other, if any.
It is perfectly possible that Arceus created only the Pokémon world and its creatures, and the myth overblows it (after all the "godly creature" was felled by merely throwing a space pebble at it, though the anime being the anime that can be justified as... an asspull), but with the caveat that humans come from Somewhere Else(TM); I don't recall any entry or myth that says the Triforce Legendaries gave spirit to *human beings* specifically and that would be pretty much theonly earliest stated chronological relationship between humans and Legendaries in myth canon.

It's really interesting to figure out all of the legendary pokemon's purposes and how they were created and the roles. I solely believe pokemon came first, as someone stated, "fossils". It's odd of how we learned FIRST, was Mew, creator of all. Then 3 generations later, Arceus. I felt completely mind-blasted when I started connecting of all of these.
Mew - Creator of all (correct me I'm wrong, it's what I solely remember without accurate info) 3 legendary birds, didnt have much a purpose but be know for their types (except for Moltres, who had a purpose for its fire to light the pokemon league). Ho-Oh, rainbow bird that's keeps the peace but related to rainbows, Lugia, a legendary pokemon that lives among the whirlpool islands. 3 dogs, didnt have much to them either besides Suicine ability to calm down pokemon or settle nature down with its howl. Entei was featured in a film. Also celebi was a pokemon for time traveling (I find it cool but not much of a purpose)
Groudon - of earth, (volcanos, lava, magma and etc) Kyogre - of water, (bodies of water and the depths of the ocean, etc) Rayquaza - of the sky and "ozone" layers as someone had stated. Those regi pokemon didn't have much purpose unless its was Regigas, a protector or guardian of a certain town, or guardian for safety when stopping the major avalanche in the movie.. Jirachi was a wish making pokemon. While Deoxys is an "Alien" pokemon. Dialga - of time (I believe) and Palkia (space), Giratina - underworld/otherworld, Arceus - another creator or partners of creating everything ith mew somehow. (Enlighten me please) then the 3 pokemon that were the senses, mind, knowledge, willpower? I'm not entirely sure.
So far, history of legendary pokemon purposes are coming to an understand, if any can understand me. Then the story for Zekrom and Reshiram, both were split parts of Kyurem. As Kyurem is a vessel or a empty-being pokemon, who once had Reshiram and Zekrom together as one being but I don't know the purpose of that. The 3 swords of justice, fighting and other types of pokemon, were guardians to keep the peace between humans and pokemon. And all that so far, I cannot tell how to be perfectly clear with pokemon.
(I apologize for my horrible grammar and sentence structure, if anyone cares)

The correction here would be that Mew was never stated to have created anything. Scientists in the Pokémon world simply believe that all other species of Pokémon evolved from it; that it is a genetic ancestor to the Pokémon we know today. Arceus is the one that is believed to be a creator (although contrary to what many assume, it is only said to have had a hand in the creation of the universe itself and in that of the Spacetime and Lake trios, not every Pokémon).
Ah I see, but it's wierd how they don't combine or collaborate the legends that were truly important into a semi-big movie to reveal a little historical time jumps. Like you know, year one, year 100, year 1000, and so on. But thank you for correcting me. I hope someday there's a worthy document out there that explain the whole thing when we're in our 60's.

Maybe Earth ( or the planet where they inhibited ) where really for humans. Don't forget animals also exist in pokemon world. then Arceus came and created pokemon because he knew Humans can guide/care them and also have the capability to unleash their full potentials. anyway, just my theory
