>>50812524It's really just a timesaver, if you have at least one I think it's fine. Really anything that saves time and effort that poses no threat is fine. Rather than grinding Attack EVs for hours by killing level 3 poochyena I just pop open PokeHex and add the points I would've gotten. I have a life to live and wasting it doing busywork in a game is not how I want to spend it.
>>50812457I consider the starter a Littleroot town encounter because that's where Birch officially gives it to you... also it takes a Zigzagoon or Wurmple out the encounter table for the next few routes with species clause.
>>50811710>>50812549Doing the same, I recommend grinding through all or most of the Kanto games first because Kanto pokemon are the most common throughout the series.
