I was reading through the Pokemon HeartGold & Soulsilver Player's Guide and I came across a little bit of interesting information.
On Page 27, there's a list of Pokemon that can only be obtained through events: Mew, Jirachi, Celebi, Deoxys, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, and Manaphy. Interestingly enough... There was a little footnote next to Manaphy. It said something along the lines of "Since Phione is obtainable by hatching eggs, it is not considered a legendary."
Normally, If this were a source other than the game itself, I would just ignore it since sometimes the Mangas and Anime don't match up with the game perfectly, but this was different. This was specifically about the game. The Player's Guide seems fairly reliable, I've only noticed one other fault in it so far, a typo of "Market" as "Maket" on Page 53.
Of course, it seems that Pokemon.com has officially said that Phione is a legendary, but it doesn't seem like it quite matches up for a few reasons:
1. It is the only legendary that is hatched from an egg in a main-series game.
2. Comparatively low base stats.
3. Weak movepool.
4. As far as I know, hasn't made a movie appearance.
So, what do you think about this situation?
