Absolutely deplorable.

Oh, did it? Lets see. Platinum added:
>Flareon (a total shitmon)
>Magmar/Magmortar (slightly better shitmons with hideous designs, and magmortar is completely unobtainable unless you have a way to trade)
>Houndoom (the only decent addition)
Why is Sinnoh such a shitshow when it comes to fire types? If it wasn't for houndoom existing in platinum I would have dropped my playthrough this crap game already.
