IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT!!!
in fact i hate pokemon that are immensely OP and formidable but have a certain "catch" you have to put up with.
Golem / machamp / alakazam / steelix / scisor / slowking / huntail / gorebys /
not wirth raising because obviously back then 97% of the players couldn't trade easily rendering these obsolete.
magikarp - not worth the training, just catch a gyrados ffs
vispequeen - too hard to catch.
shedinja - it has an awesome ability as long as you just don't... you know? get hurt.... IN THE SLIGHTEST, not even by a fuckin sandstorm...
pokemon who evolve with stones but that cannot learn the moves of their first evolution, forcing you to agonizingly train them in their first evolution.
dragonite / tyranitar / salamence / metagross / most of the fossils - these assholes take too long to evolve! they aren't worth it! you'll still be dragging around a little puppy sized first evolution by the time you already beat the elete 4.
in fact the main reason of my distaste for the 5th region is because it's just full of these "catches" you have to put up with to a point that only the legendaries, starters and a chosen few are worth raising.
i'm talking about:
let's check the levels they evolve in.
Frillish - Level 40
Litwick - Level 41
Ferroseed - Level 40
Golett - Level 43
Pawniard - Level 52
Mienfoo - Level 50
Rufflet - Level 54
Vullaby - Level 54
Larvesta - 59
Deino - Level 50 Zweilous - Level 64 (ok no that is fucking unfair, these guys are evil)
you are crazy if you thing i'm gonna raise a little puppy that barely has any Stats up to these levels.
