>>36705497>There is always alot of criticism towards HGSS/GSC for the wild pokemon distribution being fucked along with the level curve.Yes.
>But why is it assumed the post game is after the first 8 badges and the first league clear?It isn't. Red is the final boss, and Kanto is the last quarter of the game's length. Still no excuse to have all Dark types sans Umbreon so late in the game, and catchable at such low levels too.
>the level curve guarantees you will have difficulty dealing with the rest of the game outside wild battles.Excuse me? All the battles you face in Kanto are absolute babby shit compared to the Elite Four and Champion you faced earlier (who themselves aren't as tough as in other gens because *they aren't the final bosses this time around!*), the only exceptions being Red and maaaybe Blue if we're being generous.
