I kinda don't think adding legendaries to the games would be a good idea..
I mean its a great idea.. but I mean

1. these can be used for people scamming when trading is added (even though scamming is hard)
2. I know they are REALLY hard to find, but people can hack into the games system to get them.. and use them to beat gyms..

All I'm saying is if there's no Entei I'm gonna be pissed. I have 300+ enteis in my ORAS game that I've been collecting for 8 years/transferring from game to game, entei is my all time fave pokemon.

To be fair, legendary pokemon aren't always that strong, compared to non-legends. Point being, they could easily make a legend a worthless fighter, that people would only want to own for its pokedex entry.

Scamming would happen regardless if legends existed or not. That sort of comes along with trading in general.

As for the hacking, if the game moderators can get to users accounts and delete the legendary pokemon that have glitch-spawned by accident, then it shouldn't be that hard for them to figure out which legends are obtained in legit ways, and which are not. If they care, that is.
But if getting them would really be that rare, or if they are locked to a certain event/location, then it's not hard to track which ones of them are legit and which are not.

Personally I hope that trading isn't put in the game. It will completely destroy the point of the game of going and collecting everything yourself. :/

Nah, it's expected. It's a major part of the games. Plus the vast majority of people can't exactly travel to get region exclusive pokemon. i.e. kangashkan, mr.mime, etc.

That, and the point of every pokemon game is to collect them all (and climb the ranks) and trading wad always an option, to help you collect them all. It would also help those get multiples of pokemon that they want to collect. Its also a big help for those who dont live in areas that get a lot of pokemon.

With this trading discussion, just look at CS (even though we have way more pets than pokemon in pokemon go). We have trading, and yes, it comes with scams, but everything does. Trading is essential here. See, this is what I see as the best thing that could come out of trading;

You get the pokemon you wanted, along with the other player getting the pokemon they wanted. Two people come together to grant each other's dreams. It's wonderful, really.

A con to this is that famous people or youtubers that cover pokemon go could get trade-spammed. That would be so very annoying for them.. especially if Niantic doesn't include a cancel all option.

Omg I am so upset, basically I was at my bustop and there was an eggexcutor nearby and i walked all the way to the end of my bus stop (opposite direction and everyone was screaming my name what are you doing??) so finally it appears and I try to catch it but it runs away :I. Then the stupid boys on the back of my bus get it so I am a bit annoyed. ;c. But later on in the day, I evolved my exggxcute and got an eggexcutor (so im happy and it's higher cp then the one I found.)

i think it can work out. people would definitely benefit from trading especially if they live in a rural area or can't get to any/different regional pokemons.
there's a few things that need to be installed for it to work fairly though in my opinion
- trade history
- a option if youre want trades or not
- a limit to trading per day/per person

another problem that can happen is for example a group of friends or people decide to store all their good pokemon into one account, which can cause problems.

I have horrible pokemon and when I saw that 352 Beedrill I nearly passed out

I was in the parking lot of one of those strip malls with the many stores and stuff
I've only ever found Pidgeys, Weedles, and Rattatas there

It had the red circle and everything, but I caught it first try

@lee ✌: another thing that could work is a little thing where you have to allow people to trade with you. For example, someone trades you, you can accept or deny if you want to view it. Other than that, the options you listed are great and would work well.

I got a weird derpy Squirtle plushie but it's so soft and I love it for some reason.
