>>34821967>Why Johto mons are so limited in the first half I'll never understand.Gamefreak's formula is to keep new interesting mons hidden, hard to find, or only available after you "beat the game." They're still doing this, all the years later. Look at how many Alolan mons have low encounter rates or have to be SOS'd. Even in RBY, not every monster was just handed to you.
I get but don't get this complaint. It's a sequel to the most popular RPG on the Gameboy. Of course they're going to reuse some monsters. Look at what happened Gen 5. No old favorites meant butthurt fans.
