I tell you what, the REAL challenge is going through the game with only 1, YES ONE, Pokémon. Seriously, atm im doin Ruby Sapphire and Emerald all with one starter, only. Ruby = Mudkip (now Swampert), Sapphire = Treecko (now Sceptile) and Emerald = Torchic (now Blaziken), and those are the only ones I train. In my squad are HM slaves obv, but the only decent one is the starter. I dunno why i do it, just seems more of a challenge trying to defeat the game with just one Poké. I mea, i dont just wait in one route for hours training it, i do complete the game asap, so its a real challenge.

By the time i got to Rustboro in E, i had about a level 18 Torchic, not evolved, and had to defeat 2 Geodudes and a Nosepass, against Roxanne! It was difficult, a few soft resets, but eventually with a bit of luck, it worked, mainly by burning them, yes, but it worked. Even the Elite 4 i do with just the starter. Now thats a challenge!

Beating the E4 in RS with your fire starter is easy, but not in Emerald. Almost all the Pokemon is weak against fire/fighting. Dragon Trainer can be difficult, though.

i'd have to say it really depends on the legendary. I won't battle any of the DP event legendaries yet, but I would glady fight somebody who dared to wield a mew at me.

use latias in a battle? I'd die first. (i'm a latias fanboy. so flippin' sue me.)

for the most part, the ultra-ubers i won't go near (like arceus and mewtwo in particular) and i'd prefer to avoid confrontation with a certain red-and-white dragon (for personal reasons), but other than that I say go for it. Like any other pokemon, they're there to be used or unused at the player's discretion, but you shouldn't really tell people how they have to battle.

It's not my place to say whether or not people should use legendaries but I find the challenge of a battle to be part of the fun. And where's the challenge if you are using legendaries? The only point I personally see in using them (if they are not a personal favorite Pokémon) is in in-game trainer battles to quickly beat annoying trainers that you don't feel like battling or to raise your total number of wins to inflate your ego. But not everyone's like that, of course, and it's just my choice not to use them in battle because it's a bit more fair that way and I love the challenge.

Actually,it doesn't matters...:) I use legendaries too.It is caught by you and what if you don't use it?It would just be a waste. :(

I have no problems using them, but I rarely use them cause i just like a few legendaries:
Suicune, Mew, Latios, Latias, Manaphy and Kyogre
They aren't very easy to catch (except Kyogre), some of them need events, so...

Legendaries to me can be sorta relics... ^^ no, but trophies at least. I can feel dull when using them, even if it's only a legendary dog or other non-über-ish.

Usually the people I play against who use a bunch of Uber Legendaries aren't that good lol, so I don't have a big problem playing against them. I only like to use Non-Uber Legendaries like Jurachi and Cresselia. The only Ubers I like to use are Mewtwo, Lugia, Mew, Palkia, Dialga, Darkrai and Kyogre.

I try not to use legendaries as much as possible, they are way too common. I prefer to train and use normal pokemon as this brings more fun into the game and makes battling more fair, however there are still idiots out there who will lie to you and secretly put a deoxy's in their team and win withought any thinking at all.

Seriously though, a six year old could make a team full of arceus and claim to be the greatest trainer ever but at the end of the day wheres the fun in that?

You make a good point. I spose that anyone could use a buch of ledgs and win. Winning with a team of 'normal' Pokés requires skill, teamwork and a good game plan. But still, I dont think that persuades me not to throw in one legendary per team. Maybe...
