>>54972452nah you can't get Ho-Oh before E4 in Crystal. (assuming you mean Crystal since you mentioned a free Suicune.) but yeah Crystal Suicune is great and probably the best Pokemon I didn't mention... probably better than Ho-Oh and Lugia since you can teach it Surf and Waterfall. and you do get the one Master Ball, so.
>So how exactly are trade evolutions "cheating" again when none of them are even pseudo legendary.I wasn't saying it was "cheating", just that the people who complained probably weren't using them. as you say they were probably trying to train up shitmons. but the list of what qualifies as a "shitmon" due to availability in GSC is notable, it includes Tyranitar, Misdreavous, Houndoom, Blissey, Kangaskhan... a few mons you might really want to use but would have to grind to bring up to par
if you don't want to use any mons like that, then yeah. no need for grinding
