There's something about Rotom...
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. |
I class it has an event Pokemon.
Along with Mew and those lot... |
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
It doesn't matter if the pokemon is legendary or not. The important ones is the Power of the Pokemon.
|
I never thought of it as a legendary. However, I read this Pokemon handbook that classified it as one. x_o
|
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.' |
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.
|
I thought it was at first, but now I know that it officially isn't. Mainly, it was because of its battle music.

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 |
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 |

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. |
Honestly, I call it just a regular event Pokémon. It's usually not classified as a legendary
|
Since it can breed 0_0 I think of it as a normal pokemon.
|
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.
|
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. |

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.
|
i dont class it as a legendary i class it as an event pokemon/you have to do something in order to unlock it which means its harder to get (not harder to capture just to find) but that does NOT make it a legendary
And neither is phione classified as a legendary lol...it is bred from a legendary but it isnt one, it is just like rotom u need to do something to get it but that does not make it a legendary it is classed maybe as a rare"er" pokemon but no it isnt a legendary |
the only thing, what lets discuss, if rotom is an legendary, is the music, when you battle rotom ... in my opinion rotom is NOT legendary, because
- it has no overworld-template like most of the other legendarys - it has no high stats - it has no special role - it dont looks like an legendary.. |

Anyways, I was mistaken before that Rotom was a legendary because of how you had to wait until night time until you can finally bump the television to catch or battle it. Though there is several reasons on why it shouldn't be a legendary unless the storyline for it was changed. First of all, Rotom is at a low level, and if it was a legendary I am pretty sure it would've been at a higher level. It's really easy to catch in my opinion. With real legendaries, it takes some time until you can finally catch it unless you have a stragety. Also, if Rotom was considered a legendary, then all of it's formes would be considered one as well. That would be way too much legendary formes for one Rotom. Plus the Rotom formes are events and it would only make the regular Rotom an event somehow as well. Therefore, those are some reasons why you can tell Rotom isn't a legendary and in my own opinion, it should stay a non-legendary. |
Nintendo said that it's not a legendary, but they still ban it at the VGC's.
