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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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).
 
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
 
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.
 
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..)
 
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.
 
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.

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