It's location in the pokedex (right next to the legendries) is one thing but everyone also says that he is and posts it when people want legenries!

So my question is 'is rotom a legendry?'

I'd say no as his stats don't seem to be uberish, nor does anybody use him extensively or call him an uber.

I wouldnt consider him a legendary because hes incredibly weak. Also, hes easily obtained, but so are some other ones, so i guess he technically could be one.

Rotom isn't a legendary... it's just rare. It is next to the legendaries in the Dex, and yes, there's only one of him available through a wild encounter, but it's also able to breed itself, according to Serebii.net, so I can only assume that it's a rare PKMN.

No, actually, he's not a legendary.

Think about it. Legendaries are caught at high levels, while Rotom is at lv. 15. Legendaries have their own lairs like caves or islands, while Rotom is cowering behind a TV. Legendaries all have a part in what I like to call 'Pokemon Creatonisim', or Pokemon Mythology, however Rotom doesn't.

Rorom is no more a legendary than Bidoof is.

yes he can, using the glitch in yellow/blue/red.

anyhow, let's just put it this way: if rotom is legendairy, then so is snorlax from the 1st and 2nd generation, sudowuddo from the 2nd and 3rd generation, and the red gyarados form the 2nd genaration. and i think we all know that they are NOT legendairy.

the only difference between rotom and these guys is that you have to beat/catch em in order to be able to progress in the game, while rotom is completely optional.

Mew is only catchable at level 30 on emerald
on RBY it is a glitch. therefore, he is not legendary in that case

Rotom is basically another Sudowoodo in Emerald. Therefore, not Legendary.

Rotom isn't legendary, Because he can breed, no legendary besides manaphy can breed.

someone mentioned it before, it can breed so i can have 20 rotom's if i wanted to. Legendaries are a little harder to come by than that.
Darkrai and Shaymin are legendaries. they are meant to be activated at Nintendo Events. the only way that anybody has them now is if they exploited a glitch in the game.

well....according to me ,legendaries are tough to catch(generally)
I ended up catching ROTOM with 1 dusk ball at full health

Legendaries have high stats
Rotom doesnt

Legendaries generally have their own location like a cave,temple etc
Rotom comes out of a Tv screen .


So nope,I dont think rotom is legendary

Rotom isnt legendary. Hes just an obtainable pokemon. Its like Eevee an obtainable pokemon. And its not mandatory to catch him.

well if you think about it, no legendary is really mandatory. i cant think of any legendary in any game that you HAVE to catch to beat the game

for the record, i don't think of rotom as a legendary either, but he does have a similar scenario to that of other legendaries

Rotom IS still a legend.
Reasons why you think he is not, and my counter-explanation.

1. "He can breed." Manaphy can too. If you say what I think you might say, you is crasy.
2."His stats suck." His stats suck at level 15. Ever leveled him up? I don't think so.
3. "He is optional." So is about every pokemon in the game. You can beat the game with only your starter, throwing every egg you mandatorily obtain into the PC.

1.Manaphy doesn't breed it's own species...

2. It's best base stat is sp.atk with 95...while it's other stats are around 60- something, most legendarie's stats have atleast 1 base stat that it's in the 100's and other stats that are around 70-80
