>>54930435I think a big reason why "Generic Sinnoh Team" came to be is a lot of kids both don't want to use a one-time use item and are unable to trade.
So these pokemon
>Honchkrow>Togekiss>Mismagious>Electrivire>Frosslass>Gliscor>Porygon Z>Dusknoir>GalladeWould be non-options to those kids back then.
These days its less relevant, because these aren't the newest games/the game where you'd hoard everything, but I think that's where the origin of the "Starter/Luxray/Staraptor/Lucario/Garchomp/Water" came from.
