>>54824909>>no tryhard attempt to replace all those Kanto mons with obvious ripoffs like Roggenrola or Woobat; instead they’re supplemented with Hoenn originals that fill their own niches, like Makuhita, Kecleon, Aron, etc.nosepass serves the same purpose as onix
wurmple and its evolutions are both butterfree and beedrill
shroomish is the mushroom mon that learns spore, like paras
ralts is a ripoff of alakazam's shtick, a 3-stage psychic type that is hard to catch and raise but becomes powerful, in a game that already has alakazam in it.
aggron is the rhydon of hoenn, a big fuckoff rock monster. it even starts out quadrupedal.
plusle and minun are the first examples of obvious pikachu clones.
gulpin and swalot are grimer and muk again, poisonous blob monsters.
lileep and anorith are fossilmons just like omanyte and kabuto.
feebas is magikarp 2 and it's not even remotely subtle.
salamence is another dragon/flying type like dragonite.
and before you say "these archetypes appear in every gen!" gen 3 started the pattern of constantly repeating them.
tl;dr hoennfags are full of shit (what else is new)
