Do you think of unown as a.....

[thadarkcookie]

ehh it should be but hell the 28 of the damn thing a-z but still i guess it kida of is

 

[derozio]

It's a pseudo-legendary like Lucario and Absol but less powerful

Sorry but Lucario and Absol are not Pseudo-legends. The only pseudo legends are: Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp. And Unown is ASSOCIATED with legends but is NOT a legend itself.

 

[Wulf]

I consider it a legendary as much as I consider Arcanine a legendary.

 

[Destiny Bond]

Nah unown is too eaasy to catch for a legendary and it just isn't right. Unown just isn't the type of legendary.

Well well well ;) Those dragon types aren't legends ;)
Just ubers. Pseudo-legendaries are those who aren't legends but they had important role in movies :)

Not that I really care that much, but the only thing about Unown that I can see making people say that its a Legendary, is its ancient status and the fact that it is one of the primary Pokemon driving the plot of the third movie. To me, that isn't enough and the fact that they are numerous is just a small part of the reason why I think they should not be classed as Legendary.

Pseudo-legendary seems to fit them much better than Legendary, (despite my dislike for the classification of "Psuedo-Legendary") but "Ancient" does even more so fitting. In my opinion, there's no doubt that they are not Legendary Pokemon; merely a connection to Legendary Pokemon.

As for the discussion of Pseudo-Legendaries, would it be safe to assume that the position of some Pokemon (such as Dragonite and Tyranitar) in the Pokedex leads them to believe they are Psuedo-Legendary Pokemon? I generally don't like using the term, because in my opinion, at the most basic level, there are just normal Pokemon and Legendary Pokemon.
But I am curious about those Psuedo-Believers...

 

[HirakuNoShadow]

I consider them as more of a novelty rather than Legendaries - helping with the plot of GSC etc

Too bad their stats are terrible though :/

 

[Mew~]

i not sure about that but... they have spealical powers n stuff lyk createing a ledendery pokemon (the eeg in HG SS) and did you see the third movie...WOW

No those are psuedo-legends. Psuedo-Legends do not have to do with the anime at all cause anime=/=games. Its a common known fact and you should look at this for more info.

Now then. Unown are in no way legendary. They breed, they have a very low total stat base, and are found in a large abundance.

Yo! Agree completely with you here todoroki. But I believe that they are associated with legends.

 

[⋚Raika⋚]

No. They are freaking weak, and they are so common...

 

[rando serian]

I believe they have a connection to legendary pokemon in the anime... but I would classify Spiritomb and Rotom as legendary long before I would classify Unown as one..

 

[derozio]

They are weak but are seen with legends many times. Thus I said that they have connection with legends.

I believe they have a connection to legendary pokemon in the anime... but I would classify Spiritomb and Rotom as legendary long before I would classify Unown as one..

They have connection in games too. E.g: Birth of the Dragon trio. And the next sentence is true perhaps..

 

[TheAliveTrain]

if there are too many legendaries blame who created the 4th generation. Unown was there already and I also think it deserves to be a legend.
For most of you being a legend means almost uncatchable and oh well, being uber strong. I don't think so.

 

[Åzurε]

Novelty/Legendary in lore only.

Definitely not strong enough to qualify as a "regular" Legend.

 

[.Fenris]

No, I have never considered them legends, maybe if we were in 700 BC, and we had no written language, otherwise, no.

 

[Redstar]

I'm getting really annoyed with you people. Yes, Unown is Legendary. If you actually played the games you'd know that they're a part of Pokemon-world legends. Heck, if you even watched the third movie you'd know that.

There's a difference between cultural legends and game legends. Christ.

 

[Sydian]

Unown? I think of those little boogers as my ace in the hole on Pokemon Stadium 2, and I ain't lying. They've saved me numerous times. Why did I have one on my team? I felt bad for the little guys, but they've earned my respect. Those little letters don't screw around.

But they are more pseudo-legendary in my book. They make up a lot of the stories with legendaries (Entei and apparently Arceus now), but they're stats aren't the greatest to suit the requirements, I suppose. That and they sure ain't one of a kind.

 

[LadyJirachu]

I would say it's a Psudo-legend, like Metagross and various Dragon-type Pokémon are.

Also, in the anime, Psudo-Legendaries are also often concidered to be 'Legendary' Pokémon, even though they aren't quite Legendaries. lol

 

[Saltare.]

Why the hell would Unknown be a legendary? I mean sure, It plays a big part in pokemon and in some movies but COME ON! It's this tiny little psychic pokemon that matches letters of the alphabet(i think).
