Is Rotom a legendary?
 
I have been told Rotom was a legendary but other people have said it wasn't...
So what do think about rotom?
Legendary or not legendary?

Personally I think Rotom IS NOT a legendary due to its low stats.

Satoshi Ookami September 22nd, 2009 8:44 PM

Yep it is.
It always was considered... and I don't really know why someone started no-legendary theory...
Rotom can change forms, it belongs to last part of Sinnoh part of National Dex so I don't see any reason why would it wouldn't be considered as legendary

JPW0nder September 22nd, 2009 8:55 PM

No, it is not. Although its theme music is of a legendary, it itself is not one.

Frozen King Prawns September 22nd, 2009 9:19 PM

No, considering that Uxie even has 140 more base stats than it does. Legendaries are supposed to be powerful, Rotom just isn't.

wolf September 22nd, 2009 9:21 PM

Pokemon.com said it wasn't legendary a long time ago iirc.

Destiny Bond September 22nd, 2009 9:30 PM

One more thing can you get Rotom only once like legendaries? By that I meen can you keep going to the TV once every day and catch another one?

Yep only one per game like other legends

Haza September 23rd, 2009 1:07 AM

I personally feel like it is. Too many things say it is but others say it isnt but I really believe it is.

DestinyBender September 23rd, 2009 2:38 AM

Well, considering that you can only get 1 in the game, I'd say it would be a legendary. Period.

mervyn797 September 23rd, 2009 2:52 AM

rotom is not a legendary. *waste of thread*
what made you think so?

professor plum September 23rd, 2009 3:30 AM

Tragically, Rotom is not a legendary as far as the games are concerned.

So in RBY and GSC, was Lapras considered Legendary?
In RBY, was Jynx considered Legendary?
In RSE, was the Beldum line considered legendary?
In RSE, was Castform considered Legendary?
Afraid not. :)

I don't think that the 60+ pokemon [excluding Giratina] that are between Manaphy and Giratina are Legendary as well. :p
And, when discussing the National Dex in DPPt, it's just last of the normal pokemon simply because it was discovered that way. XD;
It was a recently discovered Pokemon as made evident by the miniminiminisubplot in Platinum regarding Charon and Rotom DX

So, technically speaking, it isn't a legendary Pokemon.

Ordinarily, I'd close this, but I'll leave it open to see if there are any rebuttals XD;
And, no, I don't think this belongs in Pokemon General. Sorry!

Saud-Blaziken September 23rd, 2009 4:06 AM

Well you can BREED Rotom

and if you're saying that manaphy can breed as well yes it can... BUT it changes to another pokemon when you breed it.

Dr Gregory House September 23rd, 2009 4:31 AM

I would say it's a legendary on the basis that there's no other way to obtain it than to catch the ONE that's in the game. makes sense, right?

LethalTexture September 23rd, 2009 4:32 AM

No, it isn't.

Simple as that.

560cool. September 23rd, 2009 9:55 AM

Rotom is not a legendary .
Reasons why it is not :

1) Veery weak .
2) Unlegendary look
3) Nintendo added forms just to make it better so that it is not that crappy !

Takoto September 23rd, 2009 12:52 PM

I consider it a Legendary, or maybe... a semi-legendary.

Amore September 23rd, 2009 12:58 PM

Yeah, i think psuedo legendary, as i can't say coz it has formes it ain't legendary (look at shaymin), but as far as i know you can't breed it

Roxasabridged September 23rd, 2009 1:32 PM

Hasn't it been officially confirmed Rotom isn't legendary?

Game Over1375 September 23rd, 2009 1:39 PM

Personally, I believe he is NOT a Legendary. Due to the fact he has weak stats, and he doesn't really have a "Legendary" look. While you can only catch one in game, he does have an Egg Group. Now now, I know Manaphy does as well, but you can not get a Manaphy by breeding!

Actually, Rotom doesn't have formes. It's different forms are referred to as Heat/Wash/Frost/Fan/Mow Rotom, as opposed to Shaymin whose forme is referred to as Sky Forme.

Also, Rotom can breed with Ditto.

Yes.

UltimaWeapon September 23rd, 2009 2:16 PM

The discussion on whether or not Rotom is a legendary will always go on.

I say...no.

Giratina ♀ September 23rd, 2009 2:37 PM

I think Rotom is a Legendary, albeit a fairly weak one. Phione is considered a Legendary, right?

thegeneticway September 23rd, 2009 2:47 PM

I think it should be :)

And yes, I do consider it as one ~

And if you're going to argue with my statement, don't bother ~

xXI JOE IXx September 23rd, 2009 2:50 PM

Gamefreak said he wasn't in a book of legendarys

Nudge September 23rd, 2009 3:11 PM

I've never viewed Rotom as a legendary, even if I did it would most probably do the same thing it does now. Sit in a box all day and never get used.
