>And we’re talking about legendary Pokémon; they’re supposed to be the epic epitome of all Pokémon content. And this is something that players including myself are doing over a dozen times a day, for some people over 100 times a day. And so that’s something that we really honestly let go on a little bit too long
Reminder that this was said by the company which:
1. Created a system where you need to catch dozens of the same legendary to be able to level one up to 40 and even more to 50,
2. Created a system where you may not improve the stats of your precious legendary, so it may take you a lot of catches to get one with good stats, or HUNDREDS to get a 4*perfecthundo,
3. Entices you to do a lot of legendary raids with shinies.
So legendaries are only special if they're gotten in person (or spoofed) but not if raided remotely. It's not fine to farm them remotely which dilutes their specialty, but it's totally fine to farm in person (or spoofed or carfagged).
