...no, they are not legendaries. XD;

The only known legendaries are Reshiram, Zekrom and Victini at the moment.

That stinks. In case nobody has noticed, i kinda LOVE Legendaries. Even puny worthless ones (Yay Rotom!). I have also noticed all Dragon types except Rayquaza are based on European dragons, not Asian dragons which don't have wings and are more serpentine. I think it's weird because these games are Japanese.
 
Hmm I thought Reshiram was based on the Asian firelighters, or crackers, or something? -recalls Gym posting something along those lines-

sadly, rotom is not a legendary because it can breed.

and i share your observation with the dragon pokemon.
except for kingdra which is a sea dragon (only 3 specieces exsist in the world) i think there is a species of sea dragon in ausralia and i think there might be one in japan.
 
Reshiram looks more epic in my opinion but what it all comes down to is strength saying that I think Zekrom looks more likely to win in a battle .
 
I like them both, but In a way i think Zekrom looks really really EPIC. But im still a bit undecided.

The official Pokemon website stated that Rotom is not a legendary.
I assume Rotom was meant to be legendary originally.. making sense out of it having the legendary battle theme. But they changed their minds in the long run.

Anyway, back on 5th gen legendary topic.
I like Victini a lot but the only thing that bugs me about him is this :

"It create infinite energy inside it's body. It can transfer this energy by touching another Pokemon or human."

Rough translation of Victini's Pokedex entry. Now that to me sounds a lot like Azelf.
Infinite energy = Willpower. Azelf can also share his infinite willpower with other beings. Pretty much the same dealio if you ask me. Reshiram is my favorite of the two beasts. I think the fact he's white with blue eyes is what's making me love him more. I never did like the color black. :x

Makes me think Ho-Oh/Lugia/Celebi. Now where's our Suicune/Raikou/Entei?

The only resemblance it bears to a legendary Pokemon is that it's a one-per-file scripted encounter. And the fact that there's a bit of talk about it. True legendary Pokemon cannot breed, and, generally if not all the time, have higher base stats than Rotom.

...but it's kind of tradition to have a legendary trio. Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno & Entei, Raikou, Suicune & Regirock, Regice, Registeel & Azelf, Mesprit, Uxie.

So it's sort of expected. :x

Tradition can be changed. Afterall, the standard Gym buildings have changed and have become completely different from each other.
But Nintendo does get carried away with legendaries, so I honestly don't doubt there will be a trio.. but I hope not. :x

It would be nice if Black and White kept only a few amount of legendaries. This makes legendaries more special and keeps the "legend" of them keep carrying on. Their little tradition I don't mind, and as long as they don't overly have legendaries to keep the game up to catching a challenge to make it more 'interesting', I'm fine. However, Black and White does seem to be having a fresh start so we're going to have to find out when the time comes.

Moreover it will always be good for the legendaries to have their strong stats, strong. A good challenge is needed; and that's what everyone wants these days. xD
 
It would be better if the amount of legendaries matched up more with generation 1, rather than have a large amount of legendaries. If this is really a new start (and with Pokemon similar to generation 1, as well as other things, too) then it might be likely. For now I'm just not going to believe in the rumours, since... I'd rather it this way.
 
Instead of a legendary trio, I'd like to see Nintendo introduce four legends, each representing a different season, It would also be interesting if each legend could only be obtained during its season. I know Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres were influenced by seasons, but I'd love to see four Wolf like Pokemon as legendaries, here's my prediction:

Spring: Grass / Summer: Fire / Autumn: Ground / Winter: Water
I'd love to see this, mostly because with the above types each Pokemon has a type advantage over the one that comes before it and a type disadvantage to the one that follows it to represent how seasons replace each other.
 
hmm i was hoping this generation the legendary trio would be powerful bug legends
honestly i would have more respect for bug types if there was 3 uber ones ^^
