Which is that the gen 1 bugs final evolution was at level fucking 10.
Ariados and Ledian evolve at twice that level at gets to have the same BST because "early route syndrome". Except there's modern examples of multiple mons that completely buck that trend.
And not just in the "SV throws in an actual near 500 BST mon in the first route" thing, modern route 1 mons just don't have 420ish BST. Because outside of super early evos; they'll be powercrept by anything by the time they get there.
Pokemon isn't about rotating your team anyway, well atleast not in that sense.
