5 possible problems with Legendaries if they were released now. What do you all think? one is rare candies, do you think it is fair to be able to just hold all these rare candies and spend them on Legendaries? Plus Duplicates.... I like what he says about possibly giving additional candies instead of another chance to catch a duplicate.

This would work as long as either the Legendary is in its 100% IV, or if you are allowed to transfer the one you have for candy so you can catch a better one. Otherwise it would be a waste to spend dust to power an 80% Mewtwo or such.

Yeah, what a crap pokemon that 80% Mewtwo would be. I'd rather save the dust for my 100% Lanturn.

Edit: I just ran a CP calculation, and an 80% 12/12/12 Mewtwo at level 40 would have a CP of 4654, compared with 4760 for a 100% Mewtwo. So, there is about a 2% difference.

If they one day add PVP, that 80% might always lose to a 100% one, if you're going to go with which one is stronger in a no-dodge battle (dodging with the lag may still be impossible for some people).

Could give you an option to trade out your Mewtwo for the new one possibly... Who knows i just know.... when you get a team of 6 Mewtwos, taking on a Machamp raid will become a joke.

I don't agree about the Rare Candies. In the article it says "Does that kind of suck? Sure, but I also get the desire to make sure that players have to work to train these Pokémon" I'm working every day getting rare candies just for that opportunity. I don't think it will be a problem the Trainers are working hard to be able to power up their legendarys by saving their limited Stardust and Rare Candies so just let the Legendarys FLY!

I could go either way with it. I am more in favor to the Duplicate catches just become Candy.

What about all the players that worked hard to get where they were at to this point? They took all that hard work away to cater to the casuals. I imagine getting and powering up Legendaries will be simple enough the casual player can do it.
