It's Time To End The Banning Of Legends here at PC

Not open for further replies.
Heh, I've read this thread over, and I'm leaning towards keeping the legends banned. On the most part, legends start off pretty strong, so you don't really have to train them. So, as Hoshiko had mentioned, this makes them very appealing to n00bs. The Uber legends maybe even more so, however.

The point is, I'd rather fight with non-legends, as they tend to show that the opponent knows what he or she is doing. Sure, you can catch several Pokemon in the 50+ range, but those trained from hatchlings will be better. Anything EV trained, for that matter.

Having said all this, I'd support having a battle thread where legends were allowed. I just wouldn't be participating, is all. I had changed the rule in the tournament here, because it seemed that the majority of people had your way of thinking, MKDS_PoKE. However, I was glad to find out that they weren't. No offence. ^_^

Thank you, i'd also like to note that Legends do need training to become extra powerful. For example, for AZELF to be strong you need to give it the standard EV spread:

252 atk / 252 spd / 6 (whatever)
 
Well, some people use legends for reasons other than convinience. I am rather fond of Celebii. If I had one, I would use it.

The key word there is "extra." They don't need any EV training to be powerful, however. They start out pretty good.

Look at this. I like to use em cause I like em. Also, I can wipe out an unev trained legend.
 
I have a Latios that I EV trained in Sp. Attack and Speed, and a Raquaza EV trained in Attack. So I'm always tempted to use them, but I know that their stats are alot better than normal Pokemon, especially EV trained Legendary Ubers. I want to show more of my strategy and less of my Legendaries. I really think legendaries should nothing more than little trophies for completing the story mode.
 
Thats because they are ubers. Not just plain legends.

Moving this to Wi-Fi Stadium. I will chime in with my own opinion later.

I used to have some legends on my team, back in my Silver version. Articuno & Entei, to be exact. But after that they just seemed boring to me. I would much rather battle with a Pokemon I trained from an egg. Nowadays, those are the only ones I do train.

I've gotten annoyed a few times when seeing them in the Battle Tower, of all places. But they weren't my problem, as they were easily defeated. Swampert was the one I feared, XD.
 
Generally the legendary birds get OHKO'd by a Rock Slide/Stone Edge, especially a Swords Dance/Bulk Up one. The dogs all go down with respective types while the Regi's are all so horribly slow and generally have no versatility. The Azelf and Mesprit are quickly KO'd. Uxie takes work but has a disgustingly non-legendary Special Attack. Heatran and Giratina are slow and generally easily OHKO'd. Celebi dies to Bug and generally also Dark, Ice, and Fire. Jirachi can use Wish all it wants, but it isn't going to get any better, and Manaphy and Phione are just... well.. Manaphy and Phione. Cresselia is easily countered.

All the reasons why non-uber legends don't have all the reason for bannage.
 
More people need to know the difference between "Ubers", "Legendaries" and "non-Uber Legendaries". Most people see the Uber list with mostly Legendaries but Wobbufet, they automatically assume that all Legendaries are Ubers. And since "Ubers" are bad to them, that means ALL "Legendaries" are bad. I really think that we need more clarification in the different types of Legendaries, what's fairplay and what's not.

You just stated the whole purpose of this thread.
 
Unfortunately, it seems your right.
 
Aboutt this whole redundancy, yeah, I was hoping that wasn't true, but oh well...
