Could an admin also fix up the new stats-box? Rotom's the only one not updated. — THE TROM — 20:04, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Can this be unprotected anytime soon I wanna make the in the anime part now...Rucario64 17:39, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

This page isn't unprotected yet? Jmath 19:40, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Legendary?

I know this has been discussed before but since the main argument for Rotom not being legendary was its stats but now that it can change forms (a trait shared with several legendary Pokémon) that all have better stats ("almost making them analogous to evolutions") should this discussion be reopened.--MisterE13 01:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

No. Not a legendary.DCM_{((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))}

Shall we bring this up on the Castform talk page too then? What about Cherrim and Burmy? Rotom isn't legendary, it's just the Gen IV version of Snorlax, Sudowoodo and Kecleon (without the annoying blocking of your path thing). — THE TROM — 01:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The main argument was the new stats and event status. At least I new better than to edit the article outright. If nothing else, it is the first non-legendary to have had new forms unlocked through events.--MisterE13 02:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, technically, the official DP Pokédex released by Nintendo/Gamefreak/TVTokyo stated that Rotom was a Legendary Pokémon, but yeah, it's doubtful that it is one. Weedle Mchairybug 02:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Then so is arcanine. Get working on that childrenDCM_{((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))}

Actually, I was referring to this (It still labels it as the Plasma pokémon, BTW.)

Weedle Mchairybug03:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I realized a while ago that here we didn't refer to it as legendary and respected that, I was just wondering if it was just because of its awful stats as well as the new EVENT status.--MisterE13 03:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

its legendary. duh. sure the booked said delibird was a legendary but in the lineup it wasent there and rotom was there. ArceusEX 20:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh no, don't start that again...--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 20:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

well i brung it up hah ArceusEX 21:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I know this sort of thing brings out the worst in certain bulbapedians (^). But really, what are the remaining arguments? It's stats aren't awful anymore so it can't be that. Also, if this discussion still ends with it not being legendary, could an Admin please add that Rotom is the first non-legendary Pokémon to have an alternate form that requires activation from an event.--MisterE13 21:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, if you look in the deletion log for one of the most useless pages in history, apparently Pokemon.com said it wasn't legendary. And EX, did the book have the official Nintendo Seal on it? Didn't think so. Now, better handbooks, which actually have the seal on them, say that 'Tom is not a legendary.--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, I don't know about you, but I think the official copyright that he mentioned is good enough for me. I mean, what's the point in even making a copyright if the person/company in question didn't ACTUALLY create it? Besides, the official Seal of Nintendo isn't going to apply anyways, as Nintendo didn't actually create Pokémon (it was gamefreak). All they did was allow it on their systems. Weedle Mchairybug 21:38, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

In that case, could someone please add the trivia.--MisterE13 23:15, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I already did a long time ago. Weedle Mchairybug 23:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

We already decided this, Didnt we? Its not a legendary, unless Arcanine is one (similar species nameDCM_{((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))}

It is not legendary, end of story. ^Maverick_Nate 00:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

No, I mean say Rotom is the only non-legendary to be considered "event only".--MisterE13 00:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

LIES! Rotom can be captured, only his other formes, not officially in the Dex, therefore not new pokemon, cant be capturedDCM_{((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))}
