Why don’t you use legendary pokemon on your team?

Because I already have a full team by the time I can catch them. I don't need the extra power when NPC trainers are pushovers anyway.

I prefer not to use stronger mons in general, not even regular high BST stuff. Starters are the strongest pokemon I'll use.

They are just too good for normal playthroughs, or at least round 1 elite 4. Postgame though they can be fun, with the main downside is being unable to be used in the towers if they are the restricted ones or mythicals.

When I was a little kid I used Latios and Latias in Ruby and Emerald because they were a bitch to catch and I felt it a waste to leave them in the box.

I usually just find it a little unfair, thematically. For trainers that use legendaries, I'll absolutely use my own, but only ones with confirmed multiples like the Latios, Heatran, Regis, ect.

I guess it'd be like watching boxing and one guy has ten tubes in his chest labeled "steroids", is 7'7, and is wearing lead gloves. I mean sure he's cool, but it's not very competitive.

Unless you're purposely making your team weak so you can have a challenge, you're gonna one shot everything anyway, so I never really agreed with this argument.
Clicking Flamethrower on Charizard to oneshot the opponent is no different from clicking Thunderbolt on Zapdos.

I won't use the Box Legendaries because I can plan a team much better than when I was a literal child and don't need to rely on them being OP to carry me. But I'll toss a regi or musketeer on my team if it can fill a cool slot.

I did as a kid. Nowadays in romhacks I'm not above using Trio legends or some Mythicals in harder romhacks like Radical Red or Unbound Expert Mode, but that's the steepest I'll go.

I did a run through of Black2 with picrel on my team from day 1. It was an event mon and I really wanted to use him. Roleplayed it as my secret ace and only bought it out against team plasma etc. to punish them for their crimes.

Was a techno blast

You yawnfag? Because the only instance in which you'll be one shotting the E4 is if you're overleveled, if you're 5-10 levels below them like you're intended to be then super effective moves will likely only 2 shot, hell, they might only 3 shot if you're using a coverage move instead of STAB.

Now that's just rude, no I'm not.
I guess if you use a full team you'll be too underleveled to one shot everything, but I still hold the opinion that the games are too easy and nobody should give a shit about legendaries being overpowered. Mainly because regular mons can do the exact same thing thanks to EVs giving the player a huge stat advantage even if underleveled.

This is a reasonable point I guess. But it's not just that they hit harder, legendaries tend to be faster, bulkier, AND stronger than most other mons, so they can feel a little unfair. It's not even necessarily about moment to moment difficulty, but using regular mons that are strong because you trained them your whole adventure can feel more earned than simply using a legendary you caught at a high level just before the end of the game

Legendaries are boring. Most of them are just different flavors of high stats, a bunch of moves with high BP and 5PP, and shit like Pressure or a different flavor of Mold Breaker as an Ability. Plus, by the time you get them there's almost nothing in-game to use them on. Kubfu and Ogerpon are the only Legendaries I enjoyed using because of their interesting gimmicks, varied move pools, and the fact that you still had more content to use them for.

Trios/heatran
are fine, but anything else isn't.
They are usually banned by stadium or battletower so no point anyway.

I used Manaphy on my Peral playthrough because I didn't know it was a legendary.
