RE: Rotom is infact a legendary.
Just because it has legendary boss music doesn't make it a legendary. And "Pokemon Ultimate Handbook" isn't really a reliable source of information.
No, sorry, Rotom's just a special guy who infiltrates machines.

RE: Rotom is infact a legendary.
The 'Pokemon Ultimate Handbook' also shows Delibird as a Legendary. Your arguement is invalid.

u srs bro? I gotta check that.
LMFAO! It's true! Here is a list of errors (courtesy to bulbapedia):
Abra and its evolutions are mistakenly listed as the Psychic Pokémon rather than the Psi Pokémon.
Azelf is listed as the Stone Pokémon rather than the Willpower Pokémon.
In Budew's page, Budew is wrongly stated to be able to learn Bullet Seed by level up.
Later reprints of the first edition, as well as the updated edition, replace Budew's move set with Cranidos'/Rampardos' moveset.
Celebi is missing from the Legendary Lineup.
This error is corrected in the updated edition.
Celebi is also listed as a Grass/Psychic Pokémon instead of being Psychic/Grass.
Cherrim is listed as the Cherry Blossom Pokémon when its simply the Blossom Pokémon.
Cresselia is listed as the Crescent Moon Pokémon rather than the Lunar Pokémon.
Croagunk is called the Poison Pokémon rather than the Toxic Mouth Pokémon. Its evolution, however, has the correct name.
Darkrai is not listed as a Legendary Pokémon, nor does it appear on the Legendary Lineup.
Both these errors were corrected in the updated edition.
Delibird is accidentally labeled as a Legendary Pokémon on its page.
This is corrected in the updated edition.
Dialga is called the Time Pokémon rather than the Temporal Pokémon.
Donphan is listed as the Armor Bird Pokémon when its simply the Armor Pokémon.
In Drifloon's page, the picture for Drifloon reads Drifblim and vice versa.
On Duskull's page, a picture of its eye is under the picture. The same problem occurs in all of its evolutionary chains.
This is corrected in the updated edition.
It is mistakenly said that Froslass evolves from Glalie. This error, however, is corrected under Snorunt's page.
Golem is listed as the Rock Pokémon, like its pre-evolved forms; however, it is known as the Megaton Pokémon.
On Golbat's page, it mixes up the Zubat and Crobat pictures.
Groudon is misspelled as Groundon in the legendary line up, but this is correct in its page.
Ledyba and its evolution have their species name misspelled as Five Start, rather than Five Star.
This is corrected in the updated edition.
Luxio's moveset has been replaced with Roserade's.
This is corrected in the updated edition.
Luxray's moveset has been replaced with Cranidos/Rampardos's.
Palkia is called the Space Pokémon rather than the Spacial Pokémon.
On Piloswine's page, Mamoswine and Swinub's pictures are reversed.
Poliwag, Poliwhirl, and Poliwrath's pages all leave out Politoed, and Politoed's page leaves out Poliwrath.
Porygon's picture is used for Porygon2's page and vice versa. The evolution line on all three Pokémon all have this error.
All of these are corrected in the updated edition.
In Pupitar's evolution chain, the picture for Larvitar reads Tyranitar and vice versa.
The moveset for Rampardos is missing the move Endeavor.
Rotom is listed as a Legendary Pokémon and is listed in the legendary line up.
This is corrected in the updated edition.
Scizor is called the Scissors Pokémon rather than the Pincer Pokémon. It has been called this in the anime at one point.
In the updated edition, Shaymin's Sky Forme's moveset is missing Air Slash.
In Skorupi's page, scorpion is misspelled as scorpian.
Squirtle is called the Water Pokémon rather than the Tiny Turtle Pokémon.
Staryu is called the Star Fish Pokémon rather than the Star Shape Pokémon.
The lineart of Suicune on its entry page and in the legendary lineup are messed up.
In Surskit's page, pond is misspelled as pound.
In Torkoal's page, coal is misspelled as coral.
On Tyrogue's page, it mistakenly states that it can evolve from Hitmonlee into Hitmontop and Hitmonchan. It also makes this mistake on the other evolutionary family pages, where it says it goes to Hitmonlee, then Hitmonchan or Hitmontop.
In Zangoose's page, cat is misspelled as car.
In Zigzagoon's page, TinyRaccoon is is misspelled as tynyracoon.
Sky Attack is mostly referred to as Sky Power.
Also, Tri Attack is incorrectly called Tri Power.
There are several minor move spelling errors such as in Turtwig's page, Synthesis is misspelled as Syntesis, and in Prinplup's page Metal Claw is misspelled as Metal Chew, and in Infernape's page Mach Punch is misspelled as Mash Punch.
Piplup and Prinplup are shown that they can learn Bite, but it means actually Bide. The same error can be seen at Kricketot and Kricketune's page.
Grotle's evolution chain has a different picture of Torterra that is not shown in its description.

RE: Rotom is infact a legendary.
It can breed yes, but power means nothing when determining a legendary.frostwind said:
This. Plus how Arcanine is called the 'Legendary Pokemon'.HypnoticLuxray said:
RE: Rotom is infact a legendary.
Who are you to set the criteria for Legendary Pokémon, frostwind? There's never been an official statement saying Legendary Pokémon can't breed, can't be weaker than regular Pokémon, can't evolve or anything like it. The mere fact that Rotom has the Legendary battle theme and is clearly intended to have it (seeing as it still does in Platinum) should indicate that it's rather special, no?
If going by official sources, there is nothing to suggest Rotom is NOT a Legendary Pokémon. If going by the stupid fanbase's made up criteria for Legendaries, however, it doesn't fit. Bear in mind, though, that the fanbase's criteria have already been proven wrong back in the 2nd Gen when Oak said Unown were Legendary.
Oh, and the Pokémon Adventures manga seems to indicate it's Legendary as well - Dia and Pearl go to research the Legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh, and their first stop is... the Old Chateau! (Not that the manga is official or anything, though, so that doesn't really have to mean anything.)
Personally I'd classify it as a pseudo-Legendary until more information is revealed.

RE: Rotom is infact a legendary.
@FireMeowth: Oh really? You should take a look at the No Eggs Group (Nidorina, Nidoqueen and Unown don't count)... Plus, I admit that Rotom was probably made to be almost legendary, because of the games music and how you can only found one 1 gen IV (and it's dex position is right before the lake trio), but the fact is that you can breed more Rotom and in BW, you can get one in an in-game trade. Do you think they would let you get Rotom in an in-game trade if it was a real legendary? Rotom can be compared to Volcarona. They're almost legendary but ultimately, they're not...

RE: Rotom is infact a legendary.
Rotom has unique battle music and there is only one (the fact you can breed more is irrelevant). That's the argument for pro-legendary.
Fact is, until Game Freak says he is, he ain't.
