Pokémon Do you like Event, Shiny, and Legendary Pokemon?

Same as with other pokemon, I like the ones I like and not because they are cool, rare or notably useful in battle (cough darkrai cough).
As it happens, I use a few shiny pokemon on my team as well as cresselia and suicune if the other opponent "allows" it (unfortunately I have never once had someone who has let me use them yet...). I don't use shiny pokemon just because they are shiny, only if I like the new colouration better. For instance latios, I prefer to use the original, whereas sylveon and braviary I appreciate for the blue tones.
Keldeo is probably the only event pokemon I like, but I don't use it.

I think that event pok?mon are fun to collect... I never really use them for actually battling bc by the time theyre given away, my team is already set in stone and trained. I sometimes use shinies... I have a shiny eevee that I plan on training so that I can use it on my team, but for the most part, I also kinda collect those too.
I like them, but concerning event and shiny Pokemon I hate how so many of them are usually hacked or powersaved... I swear if you weren't present for the event yourself good luck trying to get your hands on a legit one. I have had this issue with many of the events I have traded for. Plus don't even get me started on Shinies people Powersave those like today's end.
Don't get me wrong I love most Shinys (some have ugly colouring) and event Pokemon but I hate how so many are hacks... I personally only keep legit Pokemon if I can help it as some hacks are too good to tell if they are in fact a hack or not.

They're fun for collecting but I won't use them(depending)
Like I would use them for trading purposes(cause as soon as you trade, people show off shines and legends) and I would play them back like "BAM! I got it too, you thought you were special? OOOH not today". I only would collect shinies if I like that Pokemon and I want to use it. I like my team all mix up.

Event Pokemon: Yes. It also allows Nintendo/Game Freak to keep interest in the franchise while other games are being developed or being made ready to release.
Shiny Pokemon: I like most of them. Some of them are pretty bland, but them's the breaks. I think that now, with their rarity going down, it's also a lot more viable for people to collect them and maybe even make a living shiny Pokedex.
Legendary Pokemon: It's an RPG. The legendaries are like the bosses. I love them.

I do like them, but I most like some specific shiny pokemon. I don't like them necessarily for their shininess, but I can't deny it makes them a little more special to me. Non-event, non-shiny and non-legendary pokemon can be great too, though!
Depends on if they're native to my game, I really like pokemon with names (as long as it isn't completely idiotic like a haunter named Freegengar, seriously got that on wondertrade). A pokemon without a nickname is just missing out on a big personal touch that makes it unique. I have a dog themed team of pokemon and every one has a name except a shiny entei and it bugs me so much to the point that I consider it my least favorite on that team. I might be alone here with my weird pokemon nickname OCD but I have a shiny hawlucha and a shiny aegislash I hatched myself called 'Cloak and Dagger' (both are 5iv adamant) and I wouldn't love them without the nicknames, I'd still like them to a certain degree but without names they'd be no different from every other pokemon like them.

I totally agree on this! Nicknames add so much character to a pokemon and make me like them so much more. On Pokemon X I never used to nickname any of my pokemon, but on Alpha Sapphire I'm naming ALL THE POKEMON!
Event, Shiny and Legendaries are all nice to have. They're all sort of 'collectors items' and I like having collectors items.
I don't use them though. My favorite Pokemon aren't particularly rare and I don't care whether they're shiny. To be honest, I would rather they aren't shiny.
I think that when you always demand that a Pidgey/Pidgeotto/Pidgeot be in your party, it's safe to say that rarity doesn't particularly make a difference to you.
