    Well no one knows what they can realy do, do they...?

    But anyway my question is are they legendery?

    If you remember in the 3rd movie mollys dad told her they were legendery pokemon!

    Plus just because you can find them in the wild surely isnt enough reason to make them seem like normal wild pokemon there is a real mystery behind them.... maybe they will show us in the new hg ss games?

    Well what do you think?

    Also take into account when you play in the johto games there not realy wild just to you because if i remember correctly you unlocked them? (like an event e.g. members card etc)

    [PokeCommunity.com] the mystery of the unknown!
     
    that is a good speculation. and i can check on my crystal for the community. anyway this kinda goes here and kinda in rumors but i heard if you spelled a pokemon's name with them it is easier to obtain. i dont think it worked but it might have. i spelled mareep and found one within 3 minutes.
     
    Unlock them? All I remember is if you caught all 26, you could print out pictures of them on a gameboy printer I never had.. The ! and ? ones are unlockable in 4th gen by catching the other 26, but other than that you don't unlock them.
     
    You technically unlocked it by doing a puzzle in the Ruins of Alph and then you encounter them in the Ruins.
     
    Bulbapedia has many definitions of legendairys and one of them does include unown being legendary

    This is because unown have a significant importance like lucario

    My question is how could language come first!?!

    isnt that what they say?

    I always thaught that people saw unown and used them as their language
     
    bulbapedia says rotom isint a legendary but the guides say otherwise.

    And i can totally destroy your team pokedude.

    Well, I know this part that they are actually much more powerful than they seem to be.
    They have been known to be able to do anything when a few of them group up - like making wishes come true, and a whole lot.
    But for the sake of the games, they were made much weaker than they are supposed to be.

    I always considered them very legendary, actually...
    Something with this kind of uber power (referring to the movies) must be a legendary, added with the fact that they are the only other Pokemon to live in the dimension where Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus lives.
    They also had a lot of legends related to them in the movies, and they have been mentioned elsewhere too.

    Of course not. They aren't just normal wild Pokemon, like I said before. You can't just tell they must be normal just because they appear weak.
    They have a lot of mysteries behind them, which has yet to be revealed in my opinion.
    In the anime and the movie, they entered the normal world through a portal, which in the movie was mistakenly opened up.
    In the games, in Johto you have to unlock them in the Ruins of Alph, in the Sevii Islands you have to unlock them in the Tanoby Ruins, and the only place where you didn't have to unlock them is the Solaceon Ruins.
    Even then, these ruins are the only place where they can be found, and they cannot be found in the grass or anything. In the anime, the Solaceon Ruins had to be unlocked.

    I'm telling you, there is a huge mystery behind them, and they're related to some of the other Legendary Pokemons in a lot of ways which has yet to be revealed.
    A little about their mystery and connection to Suicune and Ho-oh has already been revealed in G/S and Crystal, and I think Arceus has to do a lot with them too.
    Have you noticed that Arceus is surrounded by the Unowns in the HG and SS while it creates Dialga/Palkia/Giratina? That will give you a clue of their importance on making this world, as well as the yellow thing around Arceus' body looks exactly like an Unown shape if made black, pointing to a possibility that Arceus might as well be the main Unown!
     
    Here's a guess:

    Arceus uses the Unown as way to communicate with humanity. Each formation has a meaning (FIRE, ANGER, etc.), and can exert that meaning when grouped up, as well as having limited powers on their own. Humans adapted them for their writings. They have since been for the most part forgotten and sealed within shrines like the 7 Isle Caves and the Ruins of Alph and Solaceon, with inscriptions left to record history and messages. They could well be the "thousand arms" referred to in the Arceus legend.

    As for legend status: In lore alone. They are no good in the game, but they're so mysterious they can't be normal pokemon, like hoothoot or sentret.

    you unlock them doing a puzzle and in fire red n' leaf green they were unlocked by moveing loads of bolders into holes! XP shows what you know... but they aint unlocked in d/p/pt but still....theres a big mystery behind them...
     
    See, Molly's dad refers to them as legendary, because they were featured heavily in ancient myths and legends, and they also are much stronger than your average Pokemon in swarms.
    But individually, Unknown are very weak Pokemon unless properly trained.
    They are extremely minuscule in power compared to other legendaries, even other Pokemon.
    Unknown requires a decent amount of training to even be considered as strong as Pikachu, whilst legendary Pokemon are powerful even without training.
    Legendaries all have amazing legends behind them, but are titans compared to other Pokemon.
    They are also extremely rare and it's not an easy task to capture them.
    Unknown is almost the polar opposite of this definition.

    So logically speaking, Unknown is not in the legendary Pokemon group, only a Pokemon of myth.

    Unown's Japanese name is Unknown.
    So it's a fine alternative to spell the name.
    Taking the K out is just stupid, imo.

    Any ways, they're just letters so let them be.
     
    In anime (movie) canon, they are indeed quite powerful with a lot of mystery, particularly in a group, as we know from the third movie.

    But in the games, they are simply weak Pokémon where it's a novelty to catch all 28. :/
     
    did anyone see my thing about the rumor?

    Well, this just shows that the Unown must have had an influence on the development of different languages.

    That's entirely untrue.
    It's the same type of rumor where some people say mashing whatever button makes capturing a Pokemon easier when they are in the Pokeball, but that's also untrue.
    It's a false belief, and the very belief makes it feel like it's actually working, but the chances remain the same no matter what.
    You can spell out a Pokemon's name with Unknown and the chance of the Pokemon appearing or whatever remains the same as it was before.

    To unlock the puzzle you have to capture all of them.
     
    i think the unknowns played a role in getting different pokemon if fr/lg in alternating cave. spell the name of the pokemon and it will appear in the cave? beats me. i've never tried it but just an idea

    You're wrong, actually...
    The Unowns had nothing to do with the "Altering Cave" or whatever it's name was.
    In fact, the Unown didn't even unlock something else ever...

    But yeah, once when I accidentally did something on my Crystal a long time back while trying to hack, an orange screen appeared with a lot of Unowns designed on them, rather than the Unown sprites themselves.
    I have never seen it again after that. It must have been a dumped idea that they were thinking of implementing...
     
    The Unown are the convoy of the legendary Pokemon, obviously they will be found more close related to the Johto Pokemon because the Ruins of Alph are found there. But it is also worth stating that they also appear in Sinnoh and have a connection to those legendaries as well. I like to think of them as another creation of Arceus/Mes (Working together) who were more of a prototype between the legendary Pokemon and the average Pokemon. Because of that they are psuedolegends.
