if someone does a good or unique comic on the nuzlocke forums, they follow it like crazy.
But yeah I can see what you mean with legends, I mean I used Dialga in my first playthrough of Diamond, but I don't really like it when there's some kid who thinks he PWNS because he hacked for Arceus, Darkrai, Giratina, Dialga, Palkia, and Regigigas, and those are all his favorite Pokemon.
