Yay or Nay: Using the Kanto bird trio

A lot of people dislike using legendaries on their playthrough teams, but do you feel the same way about the bird trio? They're very easy to just stumble across even if playing very casually, hell moltres is basically handed to you just by going through victory road.

    They’re overleveled. 50 while you will be at 45 for the league.

      playing yellow rn and my lowest level on victory road is 54, you're kinda moronic.

        Yet clearly I’m right considering your opponent’s level here. You either overgrinded or have an incomplete team

          if by overgrinded you mean just playing the game normally and catching the random wild pokemon to fill my dex entries. I've used all the rare candies I've found too because bag space is a b***h.
          if you aren't at least level 50 by the time you hit the league, that sounds like a skill issue

            You don’t get exp from catching in yellow, but if you spent hours killing wild encounters then yeah that’s grinding

              no grinding, only a little bit of beating wild encounters on the way to other areas. Again, sounds like a skill issue if you're underleveled

                just play the game and you wont be underleveled, no grinding necessary

                Look at that Kingler’s level on your first screencap, I’m clearly not underleveled

                yea gen 1 and 2 both suffer from horrible level imbalances. Crystal is arguably worse but gen 1 is just as bad

                That’s wrong though, gen 1’s level curve is generally good.

                Running away is playing the game just as much as fighting them, and it doesn't lead to me being overleveled from grinding.

                no, but you could make a case that fighting every wild pokémon you encounter is grinding, as

                Don’t skip trainers, don’t use repels, and properly cycle your mons and your team will easily be in their 50’s just playing the game normally.

      What moron doesnt get to at least 50ish when you're going to be fighting level 50-60+ pokemon in the elite 4/champion. Out of all the reasons to dislike this thats probably the stupidest cope

      This isn't like later games where a literal god agrees to let you carry it around on your waistband, you fought, wrangled and tamed a rare, powerful beast to use for sport

      That said using more than one is pretty scummy

    If they're in the game and available before the E4, then obviously the developers intended players to have that option.

    Frankly there's nothing wrong with using them, do what's the most fun to you. No one cares.
