I was playing Pokemon Sun until today. Now I'm thinking I made a mistake once again; buying a 3DS just for a Pokemon game. Shame on me!
There are way too many to keep track of now. Over 800 including alternate forms and the like. On top of that, not all of them are very viable. Almost everyone goes for the uber-powerful legendary ones anyway (there's a reason Mewtwo is still glorified).
Why use an electric mouse when you can use a four-legged dragon with the power to manipulate time, or a giant blue orca that can summon tidal waves at will? Pokemon logic, haha!
I always just ignored the legendary ones, myself. I mean, I'll grab them for the sake of grabbing them, but they then go in the box and never get used.
Particularly as they tend to be disallowed in any sort of competitive format. Which makes sense: Things get boring when the legendaries are around.
Usually I just go for things that A: are decently useful and B: are not broken. Tend not to worry too much about catching every bloody thing.... if I already know something is basically terrible I'm not going to go out of my way to get it. Takes too long for no payoff.
