These pokemon have been around fo a long time. So which is a Legend?

Rotom

Phione

Unown...(Probably not)

Spiritomb

Lucario (He aired in a movie. And only legends get in movies)

You may have multiple choice!

The only one of those that is Legendary is Phione, because it has a LEGEND attached to it. The others are just HARD-TO-FIND Pokemon...

They're not legendary, they're just rare.
Phione is the only one who is technically considered legendary as the spawn of a legendary.

Unown.. is a different story. They're just too confusing to classify.

Moving this to GPG as it has the potential to span all the games.

Phione is confirmed by Nintendo to be a legendary Pokémon. None of the others are legendary, sorry to say.
But I would really want Rotom to be a legendary.

Phione is the only legendary up there. Rotom is not a legendary because you can breed it. Yeah, only one legendary up there,
Dude you can breed Manaphy and Phione, so you're just going against what you're saying

The reasons why they are considered legendary:

Rotom-> Its considered a legendary coz it has the unique legendary battle music.
Phione-> Dunno why its a legendary?!?
Unown...-> Never heard anyone call it a legendary!
Spiritomb->Same as above^.
Lucario->Its considered a legendary by many for some reason I really don't know.

I never considered any one of these as legendaries. I know that phione is a confirmed legend I don't consider one>_>.(Everything above is only my opinion so dont get mad at me!)

Well only Phione and Rotom are considered legendarys but i also classify lucario as a legendary.
How can you do that?!?!?

He's not got an end-of-the-list "legendary number," his stats aren't as good as sub-legends like Salamence, Dragonite or Tyranitar, and, to top it all off, he looks like a wannabe breakdancer. The ONLY thing it has going for it is the fact that you only get one, in an egg, from some guy.

They didn't call Togepi legendary.

Hmph.


As always, thank you, PC'ers, for tolerating the crap that comes out of my mouth.

How can anyone even consider Lucario to be a legend??? It is such a common Pokemon in the games and anime.

Dude you can breed Manaphy and Phione, so you're just going against what you're saying

Let me rephrase that. Rotom is not a legendary because...

1. You can breed and get others of the same kind

2. You can encounter it multiple times(Platinum only)

Phione is a legendary because you cannot encounter it in the wild, because it comes in the "legendary section" of the Pokedex.

Seriously, what makes people think of Rotom and Lucario as legendaries? Phione is the only legendary from that list. As for Spiritomb, I'm honestly surprised to even see it on that list, I didn't think that people would ever think of it as legendary. Unown could in some way be classified as a minor legendary, I guess, but still..

The only surefire way of telling if something is legendary is if Nintendo actually say it is. Otherwise, it's a pretty good bet that a pokemon is legendary if:

It is near the end of the pokedex (national of regional)
It doesn't breed or evolve
It has better-than-average stats
There is only one in the whole game

Note that there are some exceptions (such as manaphy + phione), but most can be identified this way.

Also, just because a pokemon is in a movie doesn't make it legendary. Pikachu has been in all of them so far, and it isn't legendary.

I used to think Lucario was a legendary because I played Blue Rescue Team before I played any G4 game (and the Lucario rank was the highest rank in that game), and I don't watch the anime anymore. I did, however, see the Lucario movie, which reinforced my idea that it was a legendary. I know now that that was incorrect, but I can certainly see why others considered it a legendary.
