Why does everyone want the rare pokemon on there team???

I dont like legendaries. It seems like a waste for challenges, because when you have them, your team is unbeatable. Sure, maybe I have atleast one legendary on my team, but the rest are the normal pokemon. Thats how I like it
 
People use the one-shots sin ce they are powerful and "cool". Simple as that, besides, the ones that come from events make nice bargaining chips and bragging devices...

For a start, when you quote something click the little "quote" button at the bottom of each persons post, underneath their signature.

Secondly, if people want to use a team of ubers, then let them. If people want to not use them then let them. I use my favourites with pride cause I always battle with my favourites.

... and Darkrukario, people are not unbeatable if they have a Legendary on their team. I wish people would stop thinking like that.

Some use them to have power. Others use them because they geniunely like them. And I'm guessing that some use them simply because they're sick of people who go "peple who use legends suck they're bad trainers it's how u train the Pokemon that counts and if yur frends with it!"

I fall in the second catagory. I like certain legendaries, and there's nothing wrong with that. If I want to have all the legends I like on one team, there's nothing wrong with that either. It's not like this hypothetical team of Groudon, Entei, Ho-oh, Zapdos, Rayquaza, and Latias would be something YOU'D have to deal with, so what's wrong with it? Aside from the fact that four of them are weak to ice and four are weak to Rock. :p

It's not weak unless you're just using legends for the heck of it and have no clue what you're doing. Legends aren't bad just because they have high stats, and I honestly don't get where the general negativity towards using them comes from. Just because YOU'D rather not use them doesn't mean that someone who DOES use them is horrible. I'd never use a mono-type team, but if you want to I'm not going to insult you for it. If you have a problem with legends, then don't use them and shut up about them. You may want the challenge of not using them, but I want the freedom to use whatever I want. The games are easy as pie if you bother to level up enough anyway, so it's not like using Legendaries in-game is going to shatter the difficulty level completely. Competitively, they're in tiers appropriate for each one so the "they're so much stronger than most other Pokemon it's not fair!" argument doesn't hold up unless you decide to ignore tiers.

Or should I start on a rant about why I hate one of YOUR favorite Pokemon and deem you weak for using it? I very well could, you know, especially since EVERY POKEMON has a weak point to it, no matter how strong it may be. There are no invincible Pokemon, especially when considered individually. Even if you only use strong Pokemon, you still need skills to do well with them, just as you would with weak Pokemon. There's no getting around that no matter what you use.
 
uuummm ok sins when did i say it was wrong??and am i not aloud to say what i think all of a sudden??i think your a boring trainer if u only have legandaries.sumthin wrong with that??

God, I freaking hate all legendary teams. They take the classic uber-strong ones and brag about how much better they are. Not true, I destroyed my friend's Kyogre with a Breloom. I follow Shooting Star's philosophy. I also use favorites, but none of my favorites are legendary, so it's all good. ;)

Good greif, another one of these.

Nobodies stopping YOU from doing it, so stop moaning that other's don't.

And they use them because they are strong. Duh. (Even though I myself do not use Ubers, only Ledgendaries and non-Ledgendaries)

UN-LTD AWESOME WORKS
I use ubers, but only against other ubers, because if don't, it's too easy.

1) Why, is it that hard for you?
2) Just let them. Let them think they are number one because a lot of people seem to do. As long as they know they can be beaten and that every Pokemon has a counter. Even the ubers.
 
I like to use Legendarys because they are my strongest Pokemon. Sure people moan. But if I want to use them then I will. My battling team doesn't usually have them but I use them lots in the actual game. And on NetBattle. Legendarys aren't cheap. My complete Legendary test team on NetBattle got beaten by a team with 20% less power. It all depends on the skill of the actual player. You could give a n00b the strongest Pokemon team ever and they could get beaten by a good player using a weaker team.

I agree. (with the first post)


I personally catch ubers, but i dont use them. Basically for the pokedex. But it just doesnt seem realistic to me that theres only one legendary and youre the person that has it, when in reality, like every single person has it too. So thats why I just use normal pokemon. theres nothing wrong with them.

Confusion is bliss
i personally dislike legendaries, they are mostly a tad homely in my opinion.

alos, if i remember, the reason pikachu said he didnt wanna evolve was cuz hed lose his personality or somethin...maybe it became a reoccuring theme that prevented the evolutions of his pokemon.

It's a game.

Electric mouses and flaming chickens attacking each other is realistic while catching a ledgendary isn't?

I'd also like to point out that the people who use OU Pokemon never post saying about how people who don't should. There's only been one thread even CLOSE to that and it was telling people to stop bashing us for it.

So stop bashing us for it.

<<Evil???
Trust me having a legendary team isn't everything. I had
groudon
kyoger
rayqaza
ho-oh
lugia
mewtwo
then replaced mewtwo with latias

They kiked evryones ASSSSS!!! Untill I lost 22 times in a row against Inity the mystic trainer in colosseum double battles. He had all my team but had the lati@s instead of ho-oh lugia and slacking instead of mewtwo and salamence instead of rayquaza. Unlike me he made GOOD use of the legendarys instead of just having an oober team. I am now workin on a beast team with jirachi and stuff like that. I know I'll o better than before because this time I wont just concentrate on legendarys.(not my sig team BTW that's just for fun)

I didn't EV train and I let my n00b instincts take over, now I just unse my favorites.
