Legendary Pokemon
Do you use Legendaries in Wi-Fi battles? If so why?
I personally feel that using a legendary is a way of cheating. Most of them are just ridiculously powerful. I don't use them at all. I'll catch them and usually just leave them in the PC box and keep them as trophies. If I don't do that I just give them away. For instance I JUST gave away Giratina a few days ago to my friend. I didn't want it or need it. I have to say the only legendary I really like and HAVE used (about once or twice) is Azelf. So if you need a legendary, just let me know. I have all except for the Event Legendaries and Giratina. But I would like to keep my Mewtwo and Azelf. Also if anyone around uses a team of Legendaries I'd love to battle you. |
I plan on useing my Mew in battles.
But, I suck at determaning move sets, so I think everyone will still kick my butt. xD Plus he's really low level at the moment. :3 |
Heh, only to test movesets. But otherwise, no. I don't use them. Cause I favor other pokemon over them.
|
Legendaries are so cliche. EVERYBODY has them, it's unimaginative, it's weak, it's lame, but moreover it's basically cheating because they have ridiculously high stats.
|
I will battle anyone without legendaries, though I've been considering putting together a properly trained team of legendaries to use against those random kids who don't know the difference between Eevees and EVs who are probably using nothing but legendaries.
Although... I have beaten entire teams of hacked legendaries without a single legendary of my own... Hmm... |

Yeah, I kind of consider myself a Legendary killer of some sort, I get tired of everyone using the same old Mewtwo - Dialga combinations of Pokemon. |
I never use legendaries online or in-game for that matter. The only time I would ever battle with them would probably be just after I catch them, to try out their moves, but that;s it. I already have a set team of six that I use in every Pokemon game and I have no intentions of changing them.
However, in battle, I'll pretty much verse anyone, legendaries or not. |
I battled a Heatran the other day using my Torterra, the guy I was fighting had no idea that his Heatran had a double weakness to Earthquake, so when I killed it in one shot he accused me of cheating...
That is the thing I don't like about battling people who use legendaries, they complain too much if you beat them |
I battled my friend and he had a Dialga, Heatran, Deoxys, Luxray, Infernape, Staraptor, and uhh something else and I whooped his silly behind with my Cyndaquil *shot*, Staraptor, Luxray, Gastrodon, Infernape, and the rest of my party... It was just a random battle right after we traded. My brother had a hacked shiny Latios with rigged stats and he got beat badly by my other friend. Serves him right since he ties up my internet. 8D
So yeah, I sorta use legendaries to play around with my friends. It's not cheap or cliche, it's pretty fun. Why put them in the game if no one wants to use them? D: |
I'm not into teams chocked full of Overpowered/Hacked/etc. Legendaries. I have a Latias, but I always found that its stats stay around the same as the rest of my non-legendary team, so I use her in regular battles. (Has not done wi-fi battles yet >.<). If I get told not to use legendaries, I'll just swap in an Espeon with relativly the same moveset (minus Dragon Claw) and use that.
|
I only use my Dialga, really. I have a few others. And I wouldn't consider using them as cheating at all. If they're there to be caught, then it's fair. However, using others like, Arceus, Mew, and the like, then yeah, since they can only be hacked (Although I would kill for Darkrai and Arceus :3).
So if I don't want to battle legendaries, I just ask them not to use them. Simple as that. |
The only time i use legendarys is if me and my friend are having a legendary only match other then that i dont

I'll occasionally use the three dogs in battles but other than that legandaries...no thanks.
|
the only legendaries I use are Giratina and Zapdos. I dont like using popular legendaries from the start or anyone else thats popular

Using a legendary Pokemon in Pokemon is like playing a fighting game and just ''cheesing'' with the same move over and over. Which gets annoying and consider quite ''noob-ish''. No offense to you but I really look down on the Trainers who use legendaries. |
Errm, Zapdos is popular, altough there is a difference between certain legendaries, such as:
The bird trio The dog trio The regi trio and the psychic trio These all have base stats that equal to 580, which are below the base total of pokemon such as Tyranitar and Salamence, which are always seen in battles nowdays. So, the way Ubers are classed, is if a pokemon has greater than 600, not equal to, should be banned, And I think it's fair. But yes, I do have a legendary team, and I do know how to use it, and I am willing to battle anyone who wants to battle them with their normal team, as I don't mind getting a couple of free wins on my record, xD! |

Ha-Ha. Quite the confident one aren't we? But I think when you battle me I think I'll be the one getting that win on my record. :P |
Quote:
Although, the problem if we battle is, if I win, it's because I have ubers, whereas if you won, it would be because you "Have skill", which angers me ever so slightly at the fact that no one would ever consider someone that if someone uses legendary than they have no skill. But yeah, I dis agree with this: Quote:
What was ironic about this guy who wrote the analysis was that he is an occasional player of mortal combat, and he was playing a "scrub" which is the name for people new to competitive play. They had a couple of matches with the scrub loosing all the time, because the writer used a lot of throws, whilst the scrub tried to use complex moves, and after 6 losses he started saying that the writer has no skill because he doesn't use complex attacks, which the writer said back "I play to win" and the way I look at it, when I play pokemon, I play to win, the difference is though, I have about 6 - 8 teams, one is an uber team, the rest is OU and some BL pokemon, which are the main pokemon used in Wi-Fi battles. Yeah that's just my two cents |
I don't mind legendaries being used in battle. I DO mind if they are obtained trough hacking/cheating (assuming the guy admits the hack, or it's obvious cheating.)
Using legendaries is one thing. Cheating is another. Really, people who use hacked/cheated Pokemon should just keep to themselves. Btw, I found a nice video of a guy fighting a legendary user (well, more like a legendary/uber user): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esZsfMJFS3o |

Anyway...no, I don't really use Legendaries in online battles overall, unless my opponent is also using them, and even then probably just one or two specific ones. In-game, no, still not-so-much. |
Weird. I thought I posted on this thread. Was my post deleted? I only asked for Legendaries because Habilis_Orian was offering them. I would never ask for free Pokemon unless someone offered first.
|
^You don't ask for Legendaries here, plus it wasn't related to the topic itself. Hence it was spam, and was deleted by the mods.
|
"So if you need a legendary, just let me know."
I was just responding to that. Guess I should have PMed him, though. |
Well, I personally never use legendaries, but if you want to use Ubers, first say it's an Uber battle. If not, you'll have an advantage (assuming you play well)
