Pokemon Legend or NOT?

[dmaster]

Plus, Rotom can breed. Manaphy can breed, and both shouldn't be considered legendaries.

But Manaphy doesn't give offspring to its own species, it creates Phione (however Phione IS a legendary too, because it's related to Manaphy) And Manaphy has a total stats of 600 or above (an important feature to legendaries. And plus, Manaphy is an event Pokemon, MOST event Pokemon are legendaries.

Btw, it's officially classified as a legendary, both Manaphy and Phione.

No. Not Phione. Phione isn't really Legendary. It's more like Rotom. :F

dmaster out.

First a legendary has a total stats of 600 and above. Rotom has only a total stats of 440 (520 for his other forms).
Trios have 580
- Second, a legendary Pokemon mostly has an exclusive move or ability, Rotom doesn't have one.
Not mostly at all. Only a few pokemon have an exclusive move or ability, and definately not most legendaries.
- Rotom can be catched at a very low level, level 15, while other (not event) legendary Pokemon are at least level 40 (I guess?)
A lot are at level 30
- Most Legendaries do have a role, like Arceus, the God Pokemon. Groudon, creator of the landmass. Lugia, Guardian of the Sea etc. Rotom doesn't have a specific role. (Yeah maybe Ghost of the Household Appliances xD)
Mew, Mewtwo, the beasts, the regis, Latios and Latias, Deoxys, Jirachi, Heatran, Cresselia Darkrai and Shaymin have no role.

This implies the regi trio are not legendaries as they fit none of these. Rethink. ;o

However I'll add Rotom truly is not a legendary. I'm quite sure that's been stated numerous times.

Oo... yeah sorry i meant 580 then... I know but a special move/ability is just one of million things what a Pokemon makes a legendary. Ok about the levels... yeah I was talking nonsense, but I had legendaries like Groudon, Dialga, Mewtwo in my mind.

But... they all do have a role;
Mew = ancestor of the Pokemon moves, is capable of knowing any move.
Mewtwo = well, human created, but it's the result of a human creation and it shows what we're able to do.
Raikou = embodies one of the events happened to the brass tower, protector of burned tower, it's the legendary of thunder, can let thunder strike by roaring.
Entei = embodies one of the events happened to the brass tower, legendary of eruption, with one roar it can let a volcano erupt.
Suicune = embodies, like the other two also the last event happened to the brass tower, and legendary of northern wind.
The regis, they all represent the ages; Regirock = Stone Age, Regice = Ice Age, Registeel = Iron Age (or how it's called)
Latios and Latias are both two guardians of a city called Altomare.
Deoxys = legendary of the DNA and space, it's one of the only Pokemon capable of living in spave and it shows its role as legendary of DNA by changing its form
Jirachi = legendary of wishes (obviously)
Heatran = legendary of volcanoes (at least i think, or owner of stark mountain at least, not been in anime, so a specific role is yet unknown.)
Cresselia = legendary of half moon and dreams
Darkrai = legendary of full moon and nightmares
Shaymin = legendary f nature, kinda, it can transform dry plains into lush flower fields.

so yeah, everyone has its own role, some unclear and hard to explain, but they have.

Plus, Rotom can breed. Manaphy can breed, and both shouldn't be considered legendaries.

But Manaphy doesn't give offspring to its own species, it creates Phione (however Phione IS a legendary too, because it's related to Manaphy) And Manaphy has a total stats of 600 or above (an important feature to legendaries.

No. Not Phione. Phione isn't really Legendary. It's more like Rotom. :F

dmaster out.

well let's clear up some things, Rotom is OFFICIALLY confirmed to be not a legendary, both Phione AND Manaphy are OFFICIALLY confirmed to be a legendary.

 

[dmaster]

Umm, not Phione. Provide a link at least. :F

dmaster out.

Using that philosophy based on it's abilities you could say Hippowdon is a legendary because it created the sand.

It doesn't create sand. It swallows (or whatever) sand to spit it out by its holes in its back later.

 

[Rotom479]

I know but a special move/ability is just one of million things what a Pokemon makes a legendary.

Congrats. You've just made Smeargle, Ditto, and Delibird legendary. Mewtwo, Mew, the Birds, the Beasts, Celebi, the Lake Trio, Phione, and Manaphy are no longer legendary.

The thing that makes a Pokémon legendary, is that it's a legend. Several people know about Rotom, namely:Lucas/Dawn, Rowan, Charon, quite possibly Saturn and Oak, among others. On top of that, Rotom lives with humans.

 

[nick-chaos2]

if rotom isnt legendary what about magnemite?

it has no gender


P.S. the most outrageus thing happened i bred h a houndour by getting a male luxray and a female houndoom together 0_0

What gender have to do with it?

Yea. Latias, Latios, Cresselia, and Heatran all have genders.

I didn't mean it like that, if the Pokemon has one of those features it gets a step closer to be a legendary. But it's a feature many legendaries have, just like no gender is one of those features (only one per game etc etc), but having one of those ''features'' doesn't make it a legendary. It's just the features with makes a legendary a legendary and mostly just be looking at it, the moves, stats etc you could tell if it's a legendary or not.. (at least I can...)

 

[LucarioXFroslass]

If you hear a group of n00bs squealing about a Pokemon, you know it's Legendary. End of story.

And as awesome as haunted refridgerators are, no; Rotom isn't Legendary. =P

Let's get this straight, Rotom.

Mewtwo: Created by humans, but became the king of battling have going rogue
Mew: Ancestor of all Pokemon
The Birds: They control lighting, blizzards, and lava
The Beasts: (I think you mean Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina): They obviously control time, space, and the Distortion World
Celebi: The guardian of forests
The Lake Trio: They control volcanos and weather(kinda)
Phione: Though from Manaphy, it is all alone in Warm Seas.
Manaphy: Migrator of the ocean, spreading love and peace (don't even thnk about adding Luvdisc)
Smeargle is a mere painter (Mr. Mime can do that), Ditto is plasma (which is like Rotom, which you said wasn't legandary), and Delibird is a deliverer (ever seen the Fortree delivery in Emerald with the Pikachu). How's that for proof?

 

[Rotom479]

That's not what I was talking about. None of those Legendary Pokémon have exclusive moves or abilities. (By ability, I mean Pressure, Levitate, etc.) The Beasts are Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. I was saying something that contridacts with what Pokequaza said. Those Pokémon are legendary because they are a legend. You guys are saying the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot are legends because they have good stats. Tell me that's not right.

Your kinda wrong there buddy. Beasts: Entei, Suicune, Raikou.
Lake Trio: Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie
Space trio: Dialga, Palkia, Giratina

Hmm... Seth1789110 is right, but still some mistakes. First the legendary birds, they control Blizzards, Thunder and Fire not lava. And also known as the bringers of Winter (Articuno), bringer of Spring (Moltres) and there's still nothing known about Zapdos (probably of Autumn, but no official resource).

Giratina is not the Legendary of the Distortion World. It is the legendary of anti-matter and so controls other dimensions (Distortion World) since it's the only Pokemon living in there it is seen as the ''owner'' of the Distortion World.

But anyway, here's a list with all legendaries, the ones not included are simply not legendary, so can we please close this thread?
- Articuno, Zapdos & Moltres
- Mew
- Mewtwo
- Raikou, Entei & Suicune
- Ho-oh & Lugia
- Celebi
- Regirock, Regice & Registeel
- Latias & Latios
- Kyogre, Groudon & Rayquaza
- Jirachi
- Deoxys
- Uxie, Azelf & Mesprit
- Dialga, Palkia & Giratina
- Cresselia
- Darkrai
- Manaphy & Phione
- Regigigas
- Heatran
- Shaymin
- and Arceus

 

[Seth1789110]

Great list pokequaza, you just forgot one pokemon:
Rotom. LOLOL, JK HE IS NOT A LEGENDARY...

 

[FireMeowth]

I really think Unown should be counted as a Legendary Pokémon.
It's got its own dimension, it's shrouded in mystery and myths, and even seems to play a role in the creation of the world (see Arceus-event in HG/SS). Not to mention that Oak himself called it a Legendary.

Rotom... well, it's got the battle music, but isn't really that mysterious. It's got some abnormal powers, though, and Nintendo/Game Freak/PUSA/whatever has called it a Legendary Pokémon... (Well, PUSA also said no when asked whether Rotom was a Legendary or not, so..)
I'd like to call it a semi-legendary Pokémon, at least, if only for the battle music and rarity (only catchable once in each game).


And remember (@ earlier posts in the topic), stats and/or attacks have nothing to do with a Pokémon's classification as a Legendary Pokémon.
