Does anyone else still use the Master Ball?

I haven't used a Master Ball in ages! I just like having all my Pokemon in regular Poke Balls. It makes me feel better inside. Also I think the Master Ball looks ugly.

I think the last time I used a Master ball was for catching Giratina in Pokemon Platinum, when I first played it. That thing was a pain to catch!
 
I often used mine on a legendary mascot, but in Alpha Sapphire I decided to catch Kyogre the hard way and left my Master Ball for Deoxys.
 
I only use it on Mewtwo because it looks ugly on any other Pokemon.
 
The only time I used a Master Ball was when I restarted an Emerald file to do a Nuzlocke and caught the Rayquaza for the hell of it. Any other time I just want some challenge from the encounter because really, legendaries are mostly just trophies. And for Deoxys, referring to flight's post above mine, Steven's shiny Metagross with Hold Back was plenty of help in most of the postgame legend hunt.
 
With the exception of White 2, Omega Ruby and Y, I only used my Master Ball on roaming legends. On White 2 I actually used it on a Metang and on Y I didn't use it at all. On Omega Ruby I ended up using it on Deoxys (like almost everyone else.)
 
I haven't used a Master Ball in quite some time just because I never really needed to, plus for some reason I have a thing for only using regular Pokéballs for some reason . I can tell you I'll be using it in RBY when I get them :P

I use my Master Ball on Mewtwo, since it matches Mewtwo really well. It even has the M on it. Otherwise, I usually never use it unless I find a Shiny.

I am so glad I am not the only one who feels that way. {XD}
I've been playig Pokemon since I was age five with Yellow version, and I have used a master ball only a handfull of times.
I know for a fact that In Yellow, Leaf Green, Fire Red, Soul Silver, Heart Gold, X, and Y I used the master ball on Mewtwo, but other than that I've used it once on Latios in my original copy of Ruby.
 
Traditionally I almost never end up using it. I always try to save it for a time when I really need it, but such a time never comes and it just collects dust in my bag :P X&Y and OR/AS have been two notable exceptions for me. In my Y playthrough I used it on Mewtwo. In Omega Ruby, I used it on Deoxys.
 
I don't think I've ever used the master ball in any pokemon game. I have the habit of keeping it "just in case I end up needing it" which turns out to be never as I'll end up brute forcing my way through all the legendary encounters with a ludicrous amount of pokeballs.
 
I typically always use the masterball because I don't actually care about the legendaries and I just want to the story to progress or if I can I just defeat the legendary and move on without catching it at all.
 
I do use mine but only if I don't plan to use the Pokemon. I find the Master Ball to be absolutely hideous and I'd rather not have a Pokemon that I may use in one :( The only exception is if I see a cool shiny that has a chance of fleeing or knocking itself out.
