>>23373941Game Freak likes shitty Pokémon with gimmicks.
Farfetch'd doesn't have a gimmick besides the whole "useless because of a Japanese saying" thing, it's just shit for the sake of it.
Delibird only knows Present (even if it learns TMs for other moves).
Smeargle learns every move but has shit stats; it ends up being highly useable in later Gens but that's an unintentional side effect.
Unown is the first Pokémon with multiple forms (unless you want to count Nidoran).
Spinda has more variations than you'll ever see in your lifetime.
Luvdisc comes with Heart Scales.
Combee follows a hierarchy similar to that of real life insects.
And so on. I personally think it's a load of shit and they should try to make a Pokémon at least somewhat decent. It makes me wish there were official on-cart tiers so every Pokémon had a place to shine and the ones that didn't shine anywhere would be seen by Game Freak as needing a buff, since they see the online data records.
