yea i can. besides lower rank legendarys are sort of ok in my books. i perfer just to have one legendary. and i really don't care if a person likes the legendaries and has them in their party. their weak. and i got some powerhouse pokemon that can take out some legendarys in one hit and no not one hit ko's. those suck. besides can anyone tell me the right way to get to jirachi.
You know, Legendaries are overrated but they are FACTUALLY stronger than other Pokemon. They have higher stats.
Noobs have a tendency to use all ubers because they think they auto-win for having them. But as it was said, if you face someone who specializes in them and can properly train Pokemon and give them good movesets and such with normal Pokemon vs. their ubers, you will likely lose. You're not guaranteed to win with them depending on how you can/do counter them, but they do have an advantage.
In regards to the shiny part, it's not surprising people think that Shinies have some sort of advantage. Just having them for bragging rights is pretty good, but with a 1/8192 chance of getting them it's not exactly unreasonable to think they're more powerful. That said, I don't really hear many people saying that anyways.
You're extremely elitist and close-minded when it comes to Pokemon, apparently.
FACT: People are allowed to use the Pokemon they want to. FACT: Your opinions are not fact. FACT: Stereotyping people by the way they play a video game is both stupid and ignorant.
There's a reason that Big Brother and the Thought Police aren't watching you every moment you play video games. You are allowed to play the way you want, and for a reason. Being a legendary*** is as bad as being a nonlegendary***, just as being a tourney*** is no better than being a casual***.
