>>50702933D/P Drifloon is one of the most blatant examples of bad game design in the series.
>fridays only>the only hint is a throwaway line after you beat Mars>it can't be on the same friday that you beat Mars on>if you're like me and got the game on a Saturday it's incredibly easy to never know it spawns there and think you just missed some giftmon somewhere>the only trainer with a Drifloon is one of the only trainers you can miss out on forever because it's in a gym you need to do math for>there's a calculator on the bottom screen so you'll never fuck up accidentally>checking the Drifloon a trainer has in Amity Square doesn't count even though later in the game looking at an old ass book is enough for a Seen entry>arbitrarily barred from the postgame areas because some fat fuck decides he's lord and master of all who want to leave the Fight Area and demands you see every pokemon>Pal Park doesn't open unless you see every pokemon in sinnohSeriously, what the fuck? It's like they wanted to do what they did for Johto Lapras again but at least that had several NPC's you could repeatedly talk to, and not just a one-time line.
