best/I-don't-know-how-to-feel-about-this part of my day: impulse-buying a used copy of Pokemon Platinum and, upon playing it, realizing that it has many suspiciously under-leveled and shiny event legendaries

I am pretty sure someone who has five level 1 shiny Arceus probably did not get them in a legitimate manner

but but it's the only

Keep th~em. You know you want to. You can keep them in your PC if you don't want to cheat, and that way you have five Arceuses to play with whenever you want.

[futuresoon]

Oh, I'd keep them in my PC anyway, since I don't battle with other people and using legendaries on my regular team feels kind of like cheating regardless. Honestly, I'd be less conflicted about it if they weren't shiny; an underleveled legendary can be leveled up to normalcy and not look suspicious, but a shiny legendary is pretty much dubious no matter what. Probably I'm going to keep them just for my Pokedex and pretend I got them through legitimate means. But I'll still feel very guilty about it.

KEEP THEM OMG

I remember when I bought a used Emerald game and they had a Mew and like three level 100 starters and it was awesome.

[futuresoon]

Oh, there's a couple of shiny Mews, too, but on my HeartGold game I have a proper legitimate Mew from that event a while back, so I'm unconcerned with those. The shiny starters are kind of tempting me, though :\ if I breed them to get the first and second stages then it totally means I still worked for them, right?

Don't you think you're being a little paranoid here? Gosh.

And two level 1 shiny Shaymin, and two level 1 shiny Mew, and...(actually I kind of want to know how he got them, if he considered them so valueless that he would sell the game, but still)

Obsessive collector here. If I found some legendaries like that I would have to keep at least one of each. I probably wouldn't use them to fight but incomplete Pokedexes drive me a little crazy. Why can't I have them all? Isn't that the whole motto of the game?

[futuresoon]

Yeah, I'm keeping one of each, plus there's a non-shiny Jirachi and Groudon apparently imported from Hoenn (where they would have been naturally found) and and a shiny Entei whose OT is "GMESTP" so those are probably official. And I don't use legendaries to fight anyway, because it feels like cheating and I didn't ~raise them from the beginning~, so.

--wait if that shiny Entei is official then I can use it to get the Zoroark in Black/White

ALL IS FORGIVEN, I WILL NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM AGAIN
