Char! Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 The way I see it is that Legendary Pokémon aren't worth it. In R/B/Y, the legendary birds and Mewtwo are powerful Pokémon to get. Too powerful, many would say, and consider those with such Pokémon in their lineups cheaters. Plus, going about trying to capture them is too darn hard, and too many people just copy MasterBalls instead. The same is true in G/S/C. The 3 dogs, Ho-oh, Lugia... They're even harder to get, and people still don't like lineups consisting of them! I've been noticing this and think that legendaries are a waste of our time... Add your thoughts here.

Ryan Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 [size=3][color=blue] Yes, I agree. I didn't even bother to try and get the legendary dogs and the game was so stupid I burned them. Don't get me wrong I am still a fan but the game definetly needs a way new storyline. They is why it gets so old. Digimon got some new ideas and ways in the show that is why it is still so popular.[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zachary Posted March 18, 2002 Share Posted March 18, 2002 Well, in crystal Suicanes easy to catch. But Raiko and the electric one are really hard to find. There worth it though. Mewtwo, is defiently worth it. The only rare pokemon that i think isnt worth the try is :ball: Mew:ball: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fall Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 [color=green]Well, they're good for your battle score, and your lineup. I just think that people don't like seeing just Legendaries in they're lineup, you know, they peobably want to see pokemon other than legendaries. :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I think articuno is the only one that is worth it, really.... zapdos is ok, but I just don't like moltres.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old lineup consisted of Mewtwo, along with Articuno [b]and[/b] Zapdos. Now I feel like a cheater for using such Pokés in my lineup. So what I'm sayin' is, if people don't like lineups with legendaries, why go to the trouble of tryin' to capture one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treble Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I think all Legendary Pokemons are worth catching and owning, because the main goal is to catch them all, as said on the cover of the games "[b]Gotta Catch Em All[/b]". But thats not the only reason why I think Legendaries are important the way I see it, is every different Pokemon has its own stats and ability, which that differs every Pokemon from themselves. Sure most people wouldn't really want to have Mewtwo in their line-ups since Mewtwo has a reputation as a "[b]cheating pokemon"[/b] to use. Some may not want them in their line-ups but I bet they sure do wanna catch them and have a chance see how the Pokemon is for themselves.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char! Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 I just don't see the point in having to catch almost uncatchable Pokémon that you're basically not allowed to use. Then again, to argue with myself, by what I'm saying I shouldn't catch [b]any[/b] Pokémon that I don't intend to use in my lineup. On the other hand, I may use them in a future lineup, who knows? But if you're not allowed to use legendary Pokémon, then what's the point? I'm practicing for Debate, can y'tell?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you're trying to say that if people were in a situation where they cannot use Legendary Pokemons, then you can always just read their information in the Pokedex or just catch them to add it in your collection of Pokemons.

Char! Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 No, Treble, I'm saying that people who use legendaries are considered cheaters because legendaries are too strong. So people don't want to use them. That's what I mean when I say people basically aren't allowed to use them. I suppose you're right; one would want to catch them just to add them to the Pokédex. But the Pokédex itself is overrated. I don't think a person has to catch all of them to complete the game. You beat the Elite Four to complete it, and in G/S/C's case, Red too. Look at me, sayin you shouldn't catch 'em all and I have all the Pokés... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treble Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 Heh good point, I know legendary Pokemons are rare and powerful Pokemons which mainly considered cheaters most of the time.But if a person want to be top-notch pokemon trainer then I think it is an good oppertunity to try and figure different strageties to beat the legendary Pokemons, and become a better player. I wasn't trying to say that catching all the Pokemons would complete the game, I was just saying that it is the main goal in the game besides battling trainers. But nonetheless you do have a good point.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do though, even if people say all the "cheater" crap, atleast I have about a 50% better chance of beating them. :D[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raichu Tamer Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 it doesn't matter what Pokemon you chose to battle with they are your Pokemon to use. If it was regarded as cheating to use tLegands, then why did they put them in the game in the first Place? surely they would have done with what they done with mew, make it so that you win them. I don't consider this way of battling cheating, i never have and never will. Why do People think they are cheating when used? If your so clever answer me that!

Fall Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 [color=green]Many teams can go without a Legendary, though having a Legandary in a team makes it stronger in attack, strength, and most stats, like Blanko's team.... :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] C'mon, Paul, what you're saying doesn't work out. Think time-wise. The creators didn't know that people would regard them as too powerful to use. They created them, then the players rejected them, so to speak. To further another point, take this example into consideration: You're going into a linked battle against one of your friends whp has been playing as long as you. You've put your sweat and hard work making a successful team, of a variety of different strengths. Then your friend comes with a team of six Lv. 100 Mewtwos, or something else like that. He pounds you. He thrashes you. He whips your team's butts. Wouldn't you consider that cheating on his part? I mean, he takes all the strongest Pokémon which hardly need to be raised at all, when you've put all this work into your team, of whom you've raised from low, low levels. Wouldn't you lose some sort of respect for your friend? I'm sorry to say, but I would. SS, I don't agree when you say that many teams can go without a Legendary. I say that [i]all[/i] teams can go without a Legendary. I'm not yet convinced that Legendaries are worth any experienced trainer's time... :lecture: :lecture: :lecture: Oh, don't take any of my rants personally, by the way... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 [color=green]Well, I think if it was considered cheating, they would've only made them available through cheats, like Mew and Celebi. I don't know, I'm convinced they're worth the time, it kinda makes your team..... valuable.... :rolleyes:[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 [size=1] I don't think any of them are worth it. I use the weak pokemon and then train them until they are destructive beasts!

Guest Shift Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 [SIZE=1][COLOR=crimson]I agree with Charmander, I mean you wouldn't believe the length that I went to, to get Raikou, Suicune, and Entei on silver when I could just have easily gotten a normal Pokémon. For example: Icould replace Raikou with Jolteon or Raichu, I could replace Suicune with Blastoise, and I could have replaced Entei with Flareon or Charizard. The only reason I capture them now is to complete my Poké-dex! [/COLOR] [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 [size=1][color=crimson] I tried to get the three legendary dogs for weeks and I ran into them but never had a chance to get them. They just run their first turn and they always have the first turn. It isn't fair!:bawl: Oh and on my blue version, I raise Mew. On that one verson pack I have 89 Mews' lol!
