>>36091531It really does make perfect sense for this particular game since you're locked into two starters Brock destroys, and Brock is ultimately there to teach you the flow of a boss battle than to be a challenge himself. Give an Aerodactyl or some other much stronger tomfoolerly and he just becomes a grind wall if you don't have Squirtle.
>>36091582Your second point seems to be what's forgotten- we never got the "full-fat buffet" game that checks every box in the 3DS era. It is possible Game Freak can surprise us, but their last 5~ years of Pokemon steer us to doubt.
