>>36719279Sneasel is available pre-E4 in Crystal and Murkrow, Misdrevous, Larvitar, and Slugma (you forgot him) are available pre-E4 in HGSS. You are getting angry about an utterly obsolete version of gen 2 that nobody with a brain plays unless they were impatient and didn't wait for Crystals VC release
There's quite literally no value in arguing the merits or lack thereof for a Pokemon gens first release. Every single one is riddled with flaws that are patched up in 3rd versions, remakes, or in the case of gen 5, sequels.
