Remember in one of the the first episodes of pokemon, ash saw that tablet with the legendary pokemon on it, arcanine was on it, so that might be part of it. Ho-oh was there too.

No. Despite the fact that the legendary battle music plays when you encounter Rotom, it's not considered a legendary. (it can produce eggs, for one thing.)
Arcanine's species is "Legendary Pokemon" and it's referred to in most all of the Pokedex entries as a legendary/legend as well, despite it not being part of any in-game legendary trios or what have you. That's likely why it was depicted along with the other legendary birds in episode 2 and also why it's pictured here.
Also: I feel like a nerd for being able to read the unown part without any sort of guide (would have been flawless if it wasn't for that darn 'g' that always throws me.) Too bad I still have only a very rough idea as to what it's saying once I transcribed it...

The Pokedex info of Arcanine does mark him as "legendary". As for Rotom he was never marked as being legendary despite having the legendary theme when you encounter him.

It says... "Okoruna ?? Kuruso kanashimuna ?? Ga chikaduite kuruso yorokobu koto tanoshimu/ Koto atarimae no seikatsu sorega shiawase sousurega ?? Sama no shukufaku ga aru " If someone knows what it means...

Fixed a few things.
Oh! And D.W. - Ninetales has always been based on the kyuubi in terms of design but it's never really referred to as having any sort of status because of it. The species does have its fair share of legends and folklore, however - likely a bit of spillover from the real world kyuubi association.

Arcanine was on it, yes. Ash wrongly called Articuno Ho-oh however.
I'm assuming that was a joke. If you're talking about "Bush" USA's prez, you're wrong. It's actually referring to the "bush" behind celebi and the two on the left of the picture.
Louchan said: "Legendary" makes me think "rare". But there sure are... lots of them.
That's bad logic.
They are rare. There's only one of each of them. If you were to lump all the real world mythos you'd have a quite a pile too, that wouldnt make them any less legendary.

Ah, I see. When a whole bunch of legendaries showed up in the list, I assumed that was it. However, Acanine's base stat total is still unique (555; the others are 600, except Slaking, with 670).
and enjoy oneself in life. That is happiness. If it is so it is Lord ??'s blessing.
