>>52836495>>52836702Shitmons exist for in-game purposes. Some mons need to be worse than others because they fully evolve earlier, are more common, etc, there's more to a pokemon's design than how it plays out in PvP, most pokemon in the first 3 gens even were balanced around their in-game roles, but you guys just seem completely oblivious to that for no reason.
I for one hate how they've all but erased TRUE shittmons. You compfags are complaining but this gen the literally early game shittmon, Oinkloign, has a higher BST than fucking end game pokemon from earlier gens. We need more mons in the 300-450 BST range.
For example: Gen 3 nosepass. Clearly it was designed as an early game boss mon, being really good as Roxannes ace, then still decent when you get access to it yourself, in particular it's quite useful against Flannery, (it's also rare in a Kino way rather than being 1%), but it becomes shitty towards the end game. This, if you ask me, is a well designed pokemon. It serves it's purpose well and adds diversity to the sorts of experiences you can have using a mon.
