Seeing as how we can’t play as legendaries in the main game, why not make a side game where only legendaries are available? Or, legendaries as starters?
Or, make it so you have to complete some really hard quest to get each legendary added to your team?
Disapprove. Honestly, legendaries are not supposed to be playable in PMU due to how rare they are. So why make a game where you can only play as legendaries? While it may be fun to run around as a legendary, it wouldn’t be fair to just make a game full of legendaries because we cannot play them in the normal game.
As for the hard quests to recruit legendaries… No. Having a player walk around as a legendary around town would just cause too many problems due to how they’re supposed to be legendaries and one of their kind. If a player is walking around with them, then what happens to their legendary status? It disappears.
So I disapprove of both these suggestions.
Have to agree with Lucario here. It’s just not a good idea, to give something like a legendary to players.
If you made a “Legends-only Version”, then who would you fight? Would you start with a level 5 legend, and face solely dunegones with legends on every floor? What about the bosses? Who would be the boss of a dungeon, if you are killing everything with a Mewtwo or Darkrai? There is just to much, that would make it flawed.
As for the quest part. It’s like Lucario said. Not to mention. You would not need any more pokemon after getting one. Plus, the abuse that can come with it. Just grab a legend, grab an exp all and you have powerleveling to the extreme. Add some new player, who has a friend with a legend. The rest is pretty much history…Of course, let’s not forget once again.
There is still the whole “Boss” part. Who would be the boss, if you are running around with said boss? One thing is pokemon, who are known to be common/many in general. Like Golem or Rhyperior. But, legends have always been the “Highest Existence”. They just lose their value as “Boss Characters”, the moment you can use them. Just look at PMD Red and Blue, for example. The moment you recruit a legend, they stop spawning. SInce, there is no reason for them to appear again.
So yeah. I say let’s stick with the costumes/hats/masks/hoods. It’s better if they are just a cosmetic thing, that you can walk around with in town. Instead of being actually added in. Let’s face it. They would be just for bragging rights anyway…
I can see where you’re going with this, and I’m forced to agree, due to how overpowered and broken the game would become. In a SINGLE-player game, playing as legendaries is fine, due to only having one of each. In an MMORPG, however…the imbalance would be immediate and catastrophic.
