>generation that increased legendary catch rateBoo hoo, now you waste 15 ultra balls instead of 30. Such a shame.

>too much legendaries, decreasing the value that these haveYou're thinking of Gen 4, where you have nonsense like Groudon/Kyogre in Johto and the Kanto birds in Sinnoh. None of that matters though, since individual Pokemon have no real value at all.
