The entire leaning on "So a particular legendary was kind of a bastard because they infringed on its territory and it was ignoring them because it was full of itself, THEREFORE ALL LEGENDARIES MUST BE STRICKEN DOWN EVEN THOUGH outside the realm of the actual game there's no chance in fuck we can do so" is kind of... flimsy, at best.

Especially when you take into account that Legendaries - barring a few particular pokemon - are not one-off creatures and are definitely not all of one mind.

First, we have completely different ideas of how legends work. I'm going with what was in the games. Legendaries get KOed in battles, but get right back up moments later.

Secound, never said they where right for doing so. They precived a dangerous threat, a bomb waiting to go off, and then did something about it.

... I'm not exactly sure where exactly you're coming from regarding "different ideas how legends work". I am literally going with how you specifically stated in your thread that not only they sought to hunt down and destroy 'every legendary', but they also seemed to kill them - while here you say that 'oh but they get up immediately after'.

Well, which is it, then? Hardly solves the problem, just exhausts a whole damn lot of resources which the legendary in Question can later shake off and vaporize the fools with a single breath if they get too uppity.

Again - point of the matter is. Legendary Pokemon are not all cut from the same cloth. Some of them are very definitely species rather than one offs. Lesser legends may have more common Pokemon that can give them a good run for their money. Greater Legendaries would take armies to wear out, even WITH the use of guile and tactics.

Most of them want to be left alone. Others would actually fight FOR the little guy. Some are mere observers. And yes, some are utter dicks, but if these guys start running around and trying to off any rare Pokemon that has stories about it, sooner or later even isolationists would take notice and SOMEONE would take them out - even an alliance of convenience.

What you've basically set up is a pair of godslayers engaging in impossible feats that honestly contribute nothing and kind of shatter the believability of the entire setting. And if the legends are to later return throughout the plot, or the godslayers somehow survived to this point and becoming a threat, or whatever, that creates a double issue.

But honestly, the main issue here is that the involvement of Legendary Pokemon in an RP plot beyond a very minimal degree as outlined by our rules requires that you request approval, detailing specifically everything you intend to do with such, before you post it. This you did not do, thus was your thread locked.

And the intended use of these Legendaries here - especially when excessive use of Legendaries implying these two characters have actually encountered far more legendaries than anyone reasonably would in their existence and actually managed to defeat them somehow and actually seemingly wipe them off the map.... is not something that we can abide by to be honest. Not on that scale.

You are welcome to use these sort of concepts in a fanfic as those aren't subject to the rules of our RP forum - but otherwise? Yeah.

I told you why I was thinking it was okay, and that I guess is a fault on my part for misinterpreting the rules. I do have justification for every point you brought up. I don't like having infinitely powerful charactors like legendaries and how this site likes to make them out to be, so I never wrote them to be that way. They had only large amounts of power with control over certian aspacts of nature.

The heroes of the first game where not ever going to be able to kill them through moves or conventional attack. But fine. I don't have to use them, I will have to think of some other important historical event to take it's place.

To put it short, powerful, but not instant vaporizing power. What they do have is some form of regenerative ability, linked to the nature they control. The protagonists usually killed them through removing this link to thier source of power. Normal Pokemon could be killed after being KOed, not them, at least through conventional means.

By them I mean legends, sorry.

Next, why even limit it in the first place? If some people sre going to use legendaries cancerously, fine, people arn't going to enjoy that RP and are gonna leave it.

Every rule we have, we have for a reason. The reasons may not be apparent to you, a new member - but that does not mean they are not there, nor that they aren't time-tested and that they haven't proven themselves.

I understand that, so please explain to me why this one is important.

We've been doing this for 16 years. That's older than a good chunk of our user base. We have seen some shit.

But at this point it's getting immensely late and I grow weary of 'debates'. So I'm going to have to pull rank and just state outright.

These are our rules. This is how we do things here. You're free to follow them - or to take your concepts to one of the many, many other RP communities out there which may be more lenient than we are. That is all.
