>>48140455fucking christ don't remind me. it's baffling how we went from having the largest dex in gen 6, with each area having unique encounters, and each portion of the regional dex being completely fresh and thematically appropriate to having this garbage.
oh, and yeah. alola didn't even have the national dex either to offset it despite the fact that 90% of the aloladex entries are just copied and pasted from previous entries, with one or two new translations and a couple of ecosystem-related tidbits like corsola.
