>>27368287Now let's look at these four types and how they were treated with Hoenn's new batch of Pokémon:
>Steel>Aron right before the second gym, along with Mawile if you had Ruby>one of the new pseudo lines are Steel-type>the champion is mostly Steel-themed>Steel-type legendary>Dragon>more than doubled the amount of Dragon-types>access to Swablu that evolves into Altaria after the third gym>access to Trapinch that evolves into Vibrava/Flygon after the fourth gym>another Dragon pseudo>new legendary duo are Dragons>trio master, and the box legendary of Emerald is Dragon-type>Ghost>introduced more Ghost-types than Gen 1 and 2 combined(not much of an accomplishment though)>access to Nincada whose discarded shell becomes Shedinja before the first gym, one of the most unique ways to obtain a Pokémon and one of the most unique Pokémon gameplay-wose>Sableye before the second gym if you had Sapphire >Shuppet/Banette after the sixth gym>Duskull/Dusclops after the sixth gym as well>Dark>Poochyena is literally the first Pokémon you encounter in the game, almost like an apology for handling the type so badly>Poochyena/Mightyena catchable in the very first route>if you had Ruby, Seedot that evolves into Nuzleaf/Shiftry is in the third route you traverse in the game>Sableye right before the second gym>Cacnea right after the fourth gym that evolves into Cacturne>Corphish available after the fifth gym, evolves into the Water/Dark Crawdaunt>Carvanha/Sharpedo also available after the fifth gym>Absol available right before the sixth gymFar more feasible for a dark type mono-run, don't you think?
