>>50498024You're so right thank god they fixed it by adding plain starters that besides feraligatr completely abandon the kaiju monster feel of the previous set since it was too scary, crossgen evolutions that most definitely do not ruin evolution lines that were completely fine, awesome kawaii baby pokemon not to mention how great it is that they made half the dex single stage pokémon that are absolutely not filler shitmons. After all who can forget amazing classics like the santa claus bird or a painter dog and who doesn't want to capture and train the western alphabet that is somehow on ancient japanese ruins. Love how they took bolder evolutions choices like having a fish evolve into an octopus and I'm so glad most pokémon have kawaii emoticon faces because I love spending money on cute plush toys.
Since having rock and ground as separate types was such a great call that doesn't overlap in the slightest it's even better that they added another earth mineral based type for good measure. Speaking of types it's good that instead of fixing the psychic type from the ground up instead they were forced to come up with the evil type which isn't vague and arbitrary at all. God I love gen 2 so much it's unreal.
