>>32639479Magikarp wasn't as bad before, because if you wanted a Magikarp for some godforsaken reason, you had an Old Rod. Here you only have a single rod, which may as well be the Old Rod with how many Magikarp it fishes up. The game makes a joke about it too, as if it makes it any better.
Wingull in general just pisses me off. I get it, it's an island, but do seagulls really need to be everywhere? Like sure, on an early route or two, whatever. But you're facing Wingull's line in the wild for the ENTIRE game. From Route 1 to the fucking Poni Gauntlet, it's there. First pokemon encounter on Poni, i was a bit excited to see what was on this island, and lo and behold, it's Pelliper for the 100th time.
As for SoS exclusive pokemon, that shouldn't even be a thing. What kid is going to know how to get a 1% Kangaskhan from Cubone calling for help?
