>>34997159OR/AS actually did something neat with it, I agree, but as you said, it'd be much better if the legendaries had their own little areas or quests. Throw some around New Mauville, Sootopolis, Victory Road, etc. You don't have to go all out like Sinnoh and make like 30 seperate areas for legendaries, or make an entire map area dedicated to Smogonlion like in Unova, but at least make visiting old areas worthwhile again.
I'm just sick of paying $40 for a 25 hour RPG. I put 80 into Platinum, 120 into White 2, and 65 into Soul Silver. Yet I can't even hit 30 hours of content in the 3DS games because there's nothing to do.
