4th Gen There's something about Rotom...

[ConnoRAWR]

I read online that Rotom is not a legendary, but is regarded as one sometimes.
I was wondering whether you classed it as one or not and why.

 

[Captain Fabio]

I class it has an event Pokemon.

Along with Mew and those lot...

 

[Red Rain]

The amount of is Rotom a legendary threads across the net is amazing. It isn't a legendary and was proved in some Q&A thing on Pokemon.com.

 

[Zelda]

I classify it as a normal pokemon. As Red Rain said on pokemon.com it was proved not to be a legendary and therefore, I'll classify it as a normal pokemon as Nintendo does as well.

 

[OddBrad]

I used to think it was legendary but was proven wrong :x Bad times. I guess it doesn't really matter a hell of a lot unless you're using him in some writing.

 

[Isabelle]

It doesn't matter if the pokemon is legendary or not. The important ones is the Power of the Pokemon.

 

[Utau]

I never thought of it as a legendary. However, I read this Pokemon handbook that classified it as one. x_o

 

[PokemonFanatic2]

Legendary pokemon are called legendaries for a reason, because they have a legend behind it. A pokemon does not count as legendary unless it has a legend, like dialga and palkia and giritina have legends behind them, which is why they are one.

Rotom, on the other hand doesn't have a legend behind it, so it can't be legendary.

People need to pay attention to the word legendary, and actually think about if a pokemon has a legend behind it or not. People just say "Legendary pokemon" as if legendary means 'strong.'

 

[Jasonpower]

i thought it was a legendary at first,but then i thought it didn't really have any good moves and is easy to catch.it also has different forms which bothered me about if it is a legendary or not.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

I thought it was at first, but now I know that it officially isn't. Mainly, it was because of its battle music.

I have to agree with you on this. At first I thought it was a legendary but not because of the reasons you listed. I thought it was a legendary because of how it was only catchable once and there was an interesting music theme to it and it sounded like legendary music. I don't blame the people who thought it was a legendary though. It was tricky to see if it was a legendary, or not.

The battle music for it was pretty tricky. It even tricked me. It sounded like legendary music so I quickly assumed it was a legendary at first. Though when I researched things about it and the abilities and all, I found out some information that lead me to saying it isn't a legendary.

 

[Tyrantrum]

I count it as a rare event.

I believe people in the Pokémon world see it, but often. Just not all the time, unlike legendaries, where people usually never see them, unless they are lucky, like Ash and Co. :D

 

[The Dragon Master Is Back]

I know I thought it was too because of how you just cant catch it in grass or caves or in water you have to do a certain thing to get it...
Like click on the TV for instance

I would call it as an event, but I don't for several reasons. If it was a rare and special event it'd most likely be available in Toys 'R Us or a Wifi Event. Not always is it so, but most of the time it is. Rotom is only catchable once, but I think it isn't as rare as the Rotom formes. I would call the Rotom formes a rare event because it's only obtainable through the Secret Key event.

Anyways, to me they all could be mistaken for a legendary and all, but as some of us know it isn't and I guess we're going to have to face that fact whether we like it or not. Although they could be mistaken for one, I wouldn't want Rotom and the Rotom formes to be legendaries. For one, with the Rotom formes there are just too much for them all to be called legendaries and with that being so, what makes Rotom even more special? Not saying I don't like the normal Rotom but I am just stating the facts.

 

[Ayano Hana]

Honestly, I call it just a regular event Pokémon. It's usually not classified as a legendary

 

[Denzer]

Since it can breed 0_0 I think of it as a normal pokemon.

 

[RYOUKI]

People think it was a legendary pokemon mainly because, I think a legendary music is playing when you encounter one. Also, because you can only get one per game. the same goes for Phione, people think it isn't a legendary.

 

[The Dragon Master Is Back]

Yeah I Guess So...
But like I said before...
You cant catch it like any other normal pokemon.
Well I still am stuck in the middle.
Its 50% Legendary and 50% Non Legendary
Yeah and Phione has a legend behind it so it should be classified as a legendary pokemon.

Oh, and so is Spiritomb. You have to fish with the Odd Keystone (Plat), and talk to 32 people underground for you to encounter it in the Hallowed Tower.

 

[cheese rox!]

I thought it was ledgendary because of the movie, and the fact that there are only one. Then I asked some people, and found out that it isn't ledgendary.
