    I've only used Masterballs on Lugia and Mewtwo. Everything else is simple. I caught Kyogre with a Pokeball by weakening it with my Tentacruel. XD

    I tried to catch Groudon with a ultra ball when it had 1 bar left, but it never even struggled. I only had a normal pokeball after using all my ultras but the normal pokeball caught it in one. There is somthing wierd with that pokemon...

    I do believe there is a reason. Look at it their way. Suppose that you could obtain Master Balls in vast quantities. Would there be any purpose to the Legendaries? They aren't hard to find, just powerful. If you were to make them captured with one move, their value in link battling would decrease dramatically since everyone would have so many Legendaries. Now look at it as it is. Now, you can get the first Legendary you meet without fail. If you play long enough, it's guarenteed. That gives you some reward for your effort. The other Legendaries, however, require skill, setting apart those who try hard and those who just happen to have the Master Ball. Besides, if you plan ahead, you can get a Legendary anyways. Don't forget that you can save right before battling most of the Legendaries.

    I seem to have a lot of trouble catching Rayquaza -_-. Even with Ultra Balls. It just DOESN'T want to be captured (I accidentally wasted my Masterball on Groudon >_<)

    Naa, catching legendaries have never been a challenge to me...i mean, i save it just before catching him, and if i kill it or miss it, i turn off the GB, and start over =/
    Is not a challenge, it just take some time to do it:)

    Although it is extremely frustrating trying to catch legendaries w/o a Masterball, it is possible. Once in my Crystal Version I was training my lv36 Larvitar and ran into Entei (first time). The best Ball I had was a Great Ball, so I threw it, just in case, and... I CAUGHT IT!!! That was awesome!

    I think most of the legendaries aren't a test of skill. Though there are two exceptions- Latias & Latios. You have to formulate a plan so they can be captured, unless of course, you are planning on the using the Master Ball on them. This can take hours of additional training so you have the Pok?mon you need for the catch. I caught my Latias using Crobat's Mean Look, Swellow's Endeavour, and Vileplume's Sleep Powder. Even with a 1HP, sleeping, trapped Latias, it still took me about 20 Timer Balls before the thing went in.
