Bill you were talking about people using legendaries in league battles…A while back there was a guy in the Sinnoh league who used TWO of them! Everyone was talking about him! But there was someone else with a Heatran competing too and nobody gave him any press. Does Sinnoh not consider Heatran to be legendary?

They consider it a minor legendary, much in the same way Hoennians see the titans (or golems) or Johtonians see the legendary birds.

Of course, either way, it’s somewhat less impressive than having two legendaries, one of whom is considered to be the god of nightmares…

Sinnoh Legendaries, Part II

Heatran
The Lava Dome Pokémon
Type: Fire/Steel
Official Registration #: 485
Entry: According to Sinnoh lore, this large, golem-like pokémon is the guardian of caves, of mountains, and of magma—or, more simply, it’s the guardian of volcanoes. Up until recently, given the fact that it’s a bulky-looking, quadruped pokémon whose very roar caused volcanoes to erupt, Johtonians were fully convinced that Heatran was nothing more than a corruption or even mockery of their own legendary of volcanoes, Entei. Then it was discovered that, no, really, Heatran actually existed, and for the first time ever in the history of Johto-Sinnoh relations, Johtonians may or may not have said words that might have given someone else the impression that they were wrong about something and that they apologize.
