okay i've heard over a thousand times that Shiny pokemon are stronger and thats just BS. i have a shiny Donphan and shiny Regis and they are not stronger than the ones i have in pearl. so people stop saying shinys are stronger because there is no difference between and shiny and a normal one ok?? and if u a trainer that uses only Legendaries in their party, your basicly a weakling and shouldnt be playing at all. why?? because your incapable of training the normal pokemon and seeing their true power.

dont go off on me this is just my opinion and i like to see who agrees.

You are correct, shiny Pokemon aren't stronger, they are just coloured differently.

so people stop saying shinys are stronger because there is no difference between and shiny and a normal one ok?? and if u a trainer that uses only Legendaries in their party, your basicly a weakling and shouldnt be playing at all.
If people have actually worked hard to get shiny Pokemon without hacks, then they will probably use them in their team, to show off their achievement.
I never use Legendary Pokemon, but if I finally get a shiny Mewtwo, I will probably bring that over to Pearl.

People who play all Legendaries are probably playing Ubers.
However, if my team consisted of the Legendary Beasts and Birds, then there would be nothing wrong, because they aren't in U tier; some are in Under Used.
Using Legendaries doesn't mean you are a weakling, what about the likes of Garchomp and Wobbufet?

why?? because your incapable of training the normal pokemon and seeing their true power.

dont go off on me this is just my opinion and i like to see who agrees.
Some people may just like to use their favourite Pokemon, and if they like Legendaries, they will use them.

Irony...Okay not really, but I lol'ed.

Go fight a person who specializes in Ubers, you'll get your *** kicked. Done right, Legendary Pokemon are,well, Legendary.

Legendaries are not weak, and I'd hate to fight against a team of them with standard Pokemon, especially if they have been EV trained correctly (something that still escapes me XD).

When you say your power house Pokemon can OHKO Legendaries, are you talking about when you fight and capture them in the game, eg. the fight with Zapdos in the Power Plant, or against other trainers?

When was the last time you used a OHKO attack and it worked? I don't think I have ever got one to work yet. Most people would have an attack that might not guarantee a KO, but will hit most of the time than an attack that has a small chance of actually hitting.

And you can get Jirachi from Pokemon Channel. It came free with that. I don't know what it's stats are however because I never bought Pokemon Channel.

While playing Pokemon Silver, I encountered a shiny Skarmory. I thought it would give me extra experience, so I beat it......

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***.

I hate the small % chance of getting a shiny pokemon.

It irritates me that I've gone through 2 generations after silver and haven't seen 1 shiny pokemon yet.

Shiny pokemon are rarer than regular pokemon. you have a shiny Regis? what is a Regis? or do have a set of shiny Regice, Registeel, and Regirock and Regigigas? I guess that would be the set of Shiny Regis.

and if u a trainer that uses only Legendaries in their party, your basicly a weakling and shouldnt be playing at all. why?? because your incapable of training the normal pokemon and seeing their true power.
Using that logic, we should all use LC pokemon, or only compete in UU and NU tournaments. Ubers takes just as much skill as any other tier level. Ubers and Legendary pokemon are Pokemon, just like Caterpie and Weedle. That you would suggest only using "normal pokemon" (wtf is normal? only normal type? OU tier? be more specific) shows that you have no idea what is going on in the current pokemon metagame.

Challenge accepted. =P

lol, i like shaymin, and he kinda stinks, but i like him so i use him in my party!

so what?
Shaymin's stats actually aren't anything to sneeze at, although they're not great either. Its main weakness is its crappy movepool, but even so I managed to beat my entire Pearl version with one.
