What Pokemon did you used to think were legendary back in the day, but weren't? I thought BOTH Lucario and Rotom were legendary originally, especially Lucario, since it got an entire movie dedicated to it back then.

Zorua and Zoroark definitely felt legendaryish, much for the same reasons as Riolu and Lucario. Zorua seems pretty rare in comparison to Riolu though, which can be found in pretty much every game since its debut.
Thank god Lucario wasn't a legendary...that thing has enough spotlight as it is.

I thought Arcanine was a legendary for the longest time...I mean, it was on the plaque with the legendary birds in one of the earlier Pokemon episodes, it LOOKED legendary, and it's even classified as the Legendary Pokemon! Talk about confusing for a ten year old. Rotom is one I thought was legendary too, because it was at the end of the Pokedex and there was only one in the game. Seemed to fit the bill. Kind of a shame it wasn't, because it certainly deserves that more than Phione or Heatran...

zorua may as well be a mythical pokemon in the unova region considering how stupidly impossible it is to get one now in the games it debuted in

I also thought all the Ultra Beasts were considered legendary Pokemon, too, when they were first announced, but it turns out they aren't legendary. I even went as far as to say, "oh, so Ash caught a legendary, huh?" When he caught Poipole in the anime... It wasn't until that Legendary Pokemon quiz on the Pokemon website. Can you blame me, though? The Alola games treated them like they were special, so anyone would make the mistake that they are legendaries, right?

I always thought Chimecho was.
Only because of it's internal data number, and because i never found one, and thought it was impossibly rare.

When I was really new to Pokemon, I thought Tropius was a Legendary. No idea why. o_O

I also thought Rotom was legendary growing up as well!

I also thought that Gyrados was legendary. It certainly is quite intimidating and due to its gargantuan size I assumed it was a god-like creature.

rotom! I honestly only realized very recently that he wasn't even a mythical, just rare back in the day @[email protected]

I thought Wobbuffet was a legendary because it appears in the Legendary Pokemon event in Smash Brothers Melee

Dragonite, Dragonair, Zorua and Zoroark are the only ones I can think of at the top of my mind.

pretty sure rotom was considered one in gen 4 considering how you catch it, but did they change their minds?
