The idea that you should be punished for liking something is upsetting. The idea that Game Freak balances the game is even more so. I want you to look at Luvdisc and Magikarp. One you can fish early and train to become the most powerful Pokémon in singleplayer and the other is one of the weakest Pokémon ever. Which is which?
You can make an unique shit pokémon while making them viable. You should not be shooting yourself in the foot for choosing what you like. You can have Unown have one move only. Just boost its stats. The game is not going to suddenly become extremely easy just because Unown hits faster and harder. It still, at the end of the day, has only one move and no coverage to speak of. Balanced enough if you ask me.
If they want to make NPCs weak, there is more than just the Pokémon you give them. You can give them low IVs and EVs, and even alter the game to give them NEGATIVE ones. Why did they never apply that? Several games add monsters in spots you shouldn't be able to find them, but alter their stats to make them weaker.
There is no defense for absolute garbage monsters. I should not be shooting myself for using Luvdisc. The 8th gym leader shouldn't be a cakewalk because he has a Luvdisc. There is no excuse that works. Your game-design logic has no power here.
