I've heard that a lot of different pokemon are Pseudo, or Half-Legendaries. So, I was wondering, does anyone know what they really are? Is there even an official list?
I have heard that the following are Pseudo-Legendaries:
Arcanine
Dragonite
Tyrannitar
Salamence
Metagross
Lucario
Garchomp
Rotom
I think it's:
Dragonite
Tyrannitar
Metagross
Lucario (MAYBE, cause of the anime and there's only one per game)
Rotom
I am unfamiliar with the term, however I don't see the significance of a Pseudo-Legendary.
None. They fail at even reach"half-Legendary" because of the fact they evolve.
As for Rotom, why would it be a Legendary?
Pseudo-Legendaries are the pok?mon whose base stats total 600 but aren't considered legendary.
Pseudo-Legendaries are:
Dragonite
Garchomp
Salamence
Tyranitar
Rotom
Lucario
Metagross
There's either only 1 per game, or they the main dragon of the game (or in TTar's case, monster).
Rayquarian, those are just very high powered competitive pokemon.

I'm going by bulbapedia's definition.

Oh wow.
When I was in like 3rd grade my friend told me half legendaries were everyone I said (excluding Garchomp and lucario) because of that.
lol I believed him. Failure
I also think part of it is how they are revealed to the audience. The Japanese loved Lucario as they thought it was legendary - then they realized it wasn't. Arcanine was another one, too. I think that plays into it.
So according to Bulbapedia, the pseudo-legendaries are:
Dragonite
Tyrannitar
Salamence
Metagross
Garchomp
There's no such thing as 'pseudo-legendaries', it's just a made up term that has no real significance whatsoever. Also, Bulbapedia is ass, don't go to it for anything. Half their stuff is made up and the rest is pointless information.
They're Poke'mon with really high stats that can match an uber's. Like Garchomp.

I've heard about Pseudo/Half legendaries since the 90's. It's not canon by Nintendo, but it is a real term, just like tiers. And while no site is perfect, I've never seen anything really wrong on Bulbapedia.
