Do You Use Legendaries or Not?

[Lunaby]

I dragged the legends to my first ruin throgh the Elite 4, but never really used them at all. xD
I really don't use legends in game very much.

 

[Citrinin]

I would say it's fair because it's just you playing. Anything's fair, really. It's only when you start battling another person that the question of fairness arises. Personally, I do use legends in-game.

 

[Mario The World Champion]

I'm mixed on this subject. I don't use Legendary Pokemon much because my own Pokemon are at higher levels than they are.

The only way I will use Legendaries are if they are a Pokemon type that I don't have on my team and I sorely need their certain type. An example is using Kyogre as my main Water Pokemon in Sapphire.

Otherwise, my Legendary Pokemon are all relaxing in their Poke Balls.

 

[Tudj]

I think its Ok to use it in normal game-play, but it isn't alright to use them in Wi-Fi battles, because it creates an unfair disadvantage to the user.

 

[SonicThrust]

I don't really use them. My regular team is usually good enough that I don't need them. If anything a legendary will take the spot of my HM slave when I go face the Elite Four and likely not get used anyway.

 

[Idiomorph]

I also tend to follow Smogon's tiering system; I refuse to use anything classified as Uber (including Garchomp, ugh) but have no issues with legendaries in general (I like my Azelf).

 

[Soul Silver]

I usually use one in game but not in wifi. But when I was younger I did use them a lot more because I found them more interesting. In Soul Silver I already know I will be using my Lugia in game. I also use my event Darkrai in game as well but not now it is level 100

 

[D. Lawride]

In game, sometimes. Giratina came to be handy, same way Lugia did in Gale of Darkness. But other than that, my main team has no legendaries in it.

 

[derozio]

I used them rarely. But I mostly used normal pokemon because the legends were far too powerful for an average pokemon. But my cheater Best Friend(He's gonna join PC soon!) once used a Rayquaza without telling me! I was really frustrated as I took average pokemons for that battle. They were EV trained but not OU pokemon.(Eg: Muk, Machamp I can't remember more..)

 

[Garlic]

Anything I legally catch I use. It's all fair game!
The Legendary Dogs/Birds arent THAT rigged.

 

[Charmageddon]

I don't usually intend to, but I always seem to reach the 8th gym/Elite Four with only five trained pokemon, so I usually catch one of the legendaries to just fill my team.

 

[Eruption]

It gets me through the story quicker and lets me pick up easy Exp.Share for other pokemon I'm training.

So I do.

 

[HallwayKid]

I find that Legendary Pokemon just make the game unchallenging and unfun. I like going through the game with average strength Pokemon and beating the Elite Four while I'm 10 levels under their level, it's fun.

 

[Ev Trainer X]

Hell, unless battling them is a part of the story, I never even battle them. They're too hard to catch proportional to how useful they would be if I suddenly included them in my team...besides, there's nothing more satisfying than beating a n00b who uses nothing but legendaries on wi-fi using only a team of fully-evolved early-game common pokemon. XD

I completely agree with this.

 

[Hassamu]

Using one usually helps when you get to the Elite Four, but otherwise I find it much more satisfying to build up a team of regular Pokemon than take the easy route and use legendaries.

 

[MAizHxC]

i dont use legendaries...i also hate when people use them on me during wifi battles...ughhh

 

[Zadow]

I don't tend to use any of the 'Uber' Legendaries. But, I myself plan on training either Mew, Celebi or Jirachi. (The small not so 'Uber' cute Legendary Pokemon)
I do believe it's kind of cheap to use Uber Legendary Pokemon (Or just any Uber *Points at Garchomp*) on Wi-fi and through the main story :P It's just too easy, and that makes the game boring for me. :P

 

[Ninetales1]

I used to have legendaries on my team... but only one per game. In Silver I had Lugia, in Sapphire I had Kyogre, and in Leaf Green I had Articuno.

Nowadays I don't like to have legendaries on my team, especially for facing the Elite Four. I consider it a nice challenge to have no legendaries there. ...And I don't think Rotom counts as a legendary, since it can breed. (I have one on my Platinum team.)

However, I might eventually try to beat the Elite Four with an all-legendary team in Diamond. That should be fun. I think that team would consist of Dialga, Manaphy, Deoxys, Darkrai, Giratina, and Cresselia... (I have yet to catch the last two though)

 

[Caelus]

Outside of Wi-fi I really don't care if people use legends or not and the same applies to me. While I don't make my whole team full of legends I do add in some of the trios in for the heck of it, though in the last year or two I haven't done that much.

On wi-fi I don't use legendaries because that's where I think its unfair... plus having all legends would not make you unbeatable anyway.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Always.
They're my favorites so I have to use 'em :)
