>>56094349Yeah, the starter selection in the 3DS games has always been a grave disappointment for me. It's a shame, there were a lot of interesting Gen V/VI Pokemon that could've fit the role.
I guess even in the earlier games Chunsoft was reluctant about them for some difficulty reason or something.
>OG Rescue Team doesn't let you pick them as the partner>Time/Darkness does the same thing and only has 3 of them (Meowth, Skitty, Munchlax)>Sky fixes the selection and has even more than Rescue Team (6+2 partner-exclusive) but gives them overpowered egg moves (only Phanpy needed it, and maybe partner Eevee)>>56094370I assume it's because of the temporary evolution thing in that game that would've required a ton of portraits. Still rather baffling in hindsight considering how popular Eevee has always been, same goes for Time/Darkness and it's selection choices.
