Phione, Legendary? or just a rare
Personally, I don't think it's a legendary, because it's base stat total is 480, where most legendaries are 600 or more. The TRUE definition of a legendary is: A pokemon whose base stat total is equal to or above 600, and are one of a kind. Definition of uber: Pokemon whose base stat total is equal to or above 600(examples: Dragonite, Tyranitar, Slaking). So by definition, Phione is not a legendary, or in fact an uber, it's just rare. It dosen't even learn some of the move Manaphy does, even though their movelists are pretty much the same thing. Honestly, I think people are being hypocritic about selecting pokemon that are legendaries, or ubers. Also, I am aware the Phione is banned from the battle tower, which I think is dumb. I think of Phione as a dumbed down Manaphy.

I think theres allready a thread like this to discuss and I think its legendary.
|
No, it's not a legendary. Not only does it have lack of stats, but you can have as many as you want through breeding.
|
No, Phione is not Legendary, simply because you can have more than one in the same game at the same time without doing anything but breeding.
|
well, I picked "which one gives me cookies" because that shouldn't be an option up there.
but either way, if your saying that it's bad and has a bad moveset, why do you care if its called a legendary or if its banned from the battletower anyway -_- |
Phione is rare? Say that to the 7 eggs of Phione in my PC.
I wouldn't use one, it's weak, but it is still a legendary. Legendaries are crutches to me, and I will never think different. ^_^ |
Phione is the off-spring of Manaphy, isn't it? Depends on what you think.
|
I think Phione is too weak.
|
If you're parent is famous, does that make you famous? Usually. Ex: The Crocodile Hunter's Daughter. I think it's a legendary, even if it sucks.
|
I think its a ledgendary because:
1. For alot of Ledgendaries you need to do something out of the game to get it i.e: Events or get a "Spin off game" 2. It came from a ledgendary and i think it has a movie with Manaphy 3. It's around the final bit of the pokedex (where the ledgendaries are) |
legendaries shouldnt be able to breed, with the acception of manaphy because its chillens arent manaphys, phione is definately not a legendary

1. You don't have to do an "event" to get this, you have to breed. If this is a legendary, then so is every random Pokemon that pops out of an egg 2. Again, if this is the case, then every Pokemon that has ever been in a movie could be a legend. As a matter of fact, Pikachu must be super-uber legend now, because it's been in every movie! 3. There are loads of Pokemon near the end of the Pokedex, it doesn't make them legendary. If this is the case, then Dragonite is a legend, Tyranitar is a legend, Metagross is a legend, etc. etc. So yeah, it's not a legend |

Could say it was a baby Legendary.
A sort of weaker legendary that isnt very old. |

I'm of the opinion that it is not. It's not the strongest, doesn't really have too much going for it. It's hella cute, of course, in its own way. However, it can easily be bred and has your everyday kind of abilities and statistics.
He's a regular. A good one but a regular, in my opinion. |
Personally, I don't classify it as a legendary. It's much to easy to obtain and it can easily be bred; legendaries should be one-of-a-kind (ie. one per game).
|
I'd go with the Non Legend side too, It's uber cute just doesn't fit the legend stats
|
Phione is in some separate category. Like "Semi-Legendary"

"Which one gives me a cookie?" I'll take a cookie from either one thanks, ;D
It's not exactly a legendary as it branches out from Manaphy and that should really just say it there. I don't quite regard it as a legend due to that, but rather, classify it as a rare Pokemon. The fact that so many of them can be gotten due to breeding as mentioned above numerous times, really cancels out the true rarity of a legendary on a single game. |

mdarkcecil, you're nuts. Dragonite isn't a uber. Any n00b should be able to figure that out; its OU.

Ever tried to define the word "Legendary"? It's as simple as catching a Rattata. A Pokemon that does not have legendary Powers, and is simply a Pokemon that legends, myths and so on does not mention, is not a Legendary Pokemon. It's stats do not matter either. Also, ever tried to check its Pokedex entry?
"A Pokemon that lives in warm seas. It inflates the flotation san on its head to drift and search for food." Oh come on. |
Do I still get a cookie even if I don't answer the poll? XD

I'm going to vote no just because I think it's lame.

Also, Fione is not an uber, overused, or rare because: 1. If it was an uber, it's base stats would have to be the equivalence (or over) a total of 600 (calculating the base stats together would have to equal 600) 2. Fione is not overused because you'll hardly ever see it being used in a competitive match against anyone because of it's ironically poor stats. 3. If Fione was rare, it would either have to be extremely hard to get/see, have an extremely high catch rate (which it cannot be caught, however it can be attained through breeding), or there would not be the possibility of being able to breed it as many times as possible. So, thus ending my statement, no I don't believe it isn't a legendary pokémon, I know it isn't a legendary pokémon |
I dont really read into things like this. I just catch whatever I can o_o I also hope I get a cookie for voting.

well, accourding to the poll more people think it is a legendary, and lots of people really want a cookie
|
It's the offspring of a legendary pokemon...
Even though, This makes him HALF-Legendary, wich is still a bit... So... Cookie? Waaaaai~ ~Honey-Senpai~ |
If it wasn't a legendary, it wouldn't be disallowed from competitive play.
