>>37465331>Gen IIGold/Silver had FOUR FUCKING fully evolved DARK-TYPES, even though it was brand new. Of these, one was an evolution of an old Pokemon (Umbreon), and all but ONE is completely unavailable before postgame in Gold/Silver, while another (Sneasel) was made available in Crystal. The remakes' half-assed attempt to "fix" this was to stick Houndour, Houndoom, and Murkrow in the new Johto Safari Zone.
>Gen IVDiamond/Pearl had a whopping five fully evolved Fire types: The starter, Rapidash, Flareon, Houndoom, and Magmortar. Of these, three are old Pokemon, one is an item-required trade-only evolution of an old Pokemon, and one is a starter.
>Gen VIX/Y had 15 fully evolved Fairy-types. Of these, six are retcons of old Pokemon, one is an evolution of an old Pokemon used a new mechanic (Sylveon), two are version-exclusive item-specific trade-only evolutions (Aromatisse and Slurpuff), one is the resident terrible shitmon Pikaclone (Dedenne), one is the shittier version of an event-only mythical (Carbink), one is the mascot legend of X (Xerneas), and one is the aforementioned event-only mythical (Diancie).
