SRing for Legends never came about until the introduction of Emerald and the Master Ball cloning. Before that, the mere act of getting a Legendary was so frustrating that I stuck with whatever nature I got (yay for Docile Articuno, Bold Moltres, and Rash Latios). Once I got that, I mostly just looked for nature. For D/P, Azelf was still about the nature, but I did SR a few times for Regigigas, easier with my Adamant Synchronize Abra. I'll will probably SR for a good nature/IVs for Uxie.
But I find SRing to be grueling and really drains me. It makes Pokemon even more boring than it should be. I just had four tries to get a Modest Latias in Sapphire, only to find that it had crappy IVs (checking the Pokedex after each entryway was also not fun either). I reset 70 times for a Timid Latios over on Southern Island and took it even though it had medicore IVs. I reset 120 times and never got the female Impish Mudkip that I wanted from Birch's bag, and eventaully took the female Jolly one. On the plus side, it only took about 20 times each for the female Jolly Torchic and female Timid Treecko.
What about you? How long are you willing to SR for?
