All I am saying is this:
No matter what anyone says, in order to catch the Legendaries, the Protagonist must either weaken them or use Master Balls. Right?
To say that it's impossible to weaken or harm a legendary pokémon is to deny NUMEROUS examples of such bullshit happening. And, as ridiculous as it is and as how bad of a plot hole it is, it still happened, no matter what anyone says. To deny the fact that these trainers caught the legends at all to deny what happened in the story, which defeats the purpose of even having profiles on them, as we can deny anything that "sounds ridiculous". Just like that, Island Level pokémon are gone-- because them being that is "ridiculous" right?
No. I recognize how ridiculous it sounds, how ridiculous it is, and I wholeheartedly agree. But! There needs to be a rational reason for these things to be dismissed, and I don't think that there should be blanket scaling for this sort of thing.
Personally I haven't actually decided on what the scaling should be, but I hope that we can calmly work through every nook and cranny to see if it works for each instance we can find. Because everyone has mostly listed arguments of incredulity for the most part, and dismissed every instance because "X means that Y is true, and that would be ridiculous".
I mean, I think it's ridiculous too, but if the champions and other trainers scale to the Protagonist, who has the legendary pokémon, (which I don't think they do, I will explain why in a second), then so be it. It's facts. Stupid, but true.
