Also keep in mind a big issue with many post-Kanto Pokemon games is that a LOT of mons are very difficult to search and catch for. Kanto really only has the legendary birds, fossils, Eevee and Safari Zone (the latter is where most of the most difficult mons are to get) while Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh introduce stuff like specific Headbutt trees, Feebas, the Regis, Honey trees and Spiritomb where you likely won't be using during a casual playthrough, let alone first time. The smaller dex counts under 200 Pokemon make it a lot more suffocating to team build. Except if you like the Water type, then you don't even need to think
