>>41907456>Silver has too much Kantooooo. I'd swap out Dragonite for Umbreon2/6 of Ethan's final team being Kanto Mons really isn't that bad considering how closely Johto is tied to Kanto. I'd be cool with Umbreon on the team if Red decidedly had Espeon on his, but there are better options for both that don't imply a choice being made, even if they are pretty obvious choices. Plus Dragonite is received during the Dragon's Den and has Extreme Speed, which is pretty iconic of Crystal and HgSs itself.
>Also, Dawn gets Togekiss so you might as well swap that out for Wobbuffet.I tried to avoid overlap between protagonists as much as possible, but sometimes it's just hard to make it work. Togekiss is tied pretty closely with both Gen II and IV, with Togepi's egg being a major deal in II and Togekiss being introduced in IV, so in this one case I don't really mind both of them having one. Also that's a Quagsire on Ethan's list, not Wobbuffet.
>Ruby, I don't get why he'd use both fossils.Because he can since you can obtain the one you didn't choose in the post game, and if you only had one of the fossils and not both it implies an unnecessary choice, which I want to avoid as much as possible.
>Castform over Armaldo would represent the weather-related story better and draw attention to abilities. Then Wailord gets Rain Dance and Cradilly gets Solar Beam and his team is fairly scary.Eh, Castform is fine for the in-game team before the post game but you get better options later to replace it with. I do like the weather idea though, although between Armaldo and Cradily I would rather keep Armaldo since Cradily has Type overlap with Sceptile.
>Dawn looks good. Weirdly few choices for her.Agreed, but that's all she's got to work with.
