>>30584211Really though, what's the logic behind hiding anything remotely interesting behind low appearance rates? Honestly my biggest issue with SM.
The entire point of a new generation is the new Pokemon, more than anything else. Why hide them?
I'm not saying go full Black and White and make it so you only ever see new Pokemon until after the Elite Four (though that was great, honestly), but if you're only going to introduce a rather paltry 80 new mons, don't hide half of them behind low appearance rates.
For anyone used to the series but not specifically looking at guides like Pokearth, it means that 90% of wild Pokemon you see will be the same trash you see every game, and the only way to get new things was to check every route excessively hoping you didn't miss anything.
