When in doubt, copy + paste
>Volbeat / Illumise
>Latias / Latios
>Plusle / Minun
>Silcoon / Cascoon
Also, back at GF's headquarters during the development of Ruby & Sapphire:
>Hey guys, guess what?
>Since we're going to make a region where the map is 50% water, maybe we should make the use of good Water types as hard as possible, that sounds logical
>Since Water is an ideal type for a fast special attacker, we could make the water types:
>Physical attackers (Crawdaunt, Sharpedo)
>"Bulky" Pokemon with zero defenses (Wailord)
>Shitty Pokemon with all around bad stats or horrible typing (Whiscash, Relicanth)
>And you know what would be really fun? In order to obtain Good Rod and access to nearly all Gen III Water types, you already have to use Surf! Doesn't that sound great?
>Oh and let's make one really good Water type (Milotic) whose prevo is the rarest Pokemon in the history of the series and evolves with max Beauty, good luck trying to figure that out
>Yeah, and good luck with your Pelipper if you didn't choose Swampert as your starter in Ruby, because there will be no other Water types to carry you across half of the map until you've completed over 60% of the game
Other notable mentions about Gen III:
>Gimmicky shit like Castform and Spinda
>The beginning of Fire/Fighting
>Started the trend of making ridiculous amounts of legendaries
>All Fire types that you can find in the wild are slow as hell and have a horrible typing for a bulky attacker (Camerupt, Magcargo, Torkoal)
