Why the fuck did they allow this to happen in the Johto games?

4 of the gym leaders have signature Pokemon from Gen 1. How hard would it have been to just switch it?

Falkner- Noctowl
Bugsy- Scizor
Morty- Misdreavus
Chuck- Heracross or Hitmontop

I thought they would fix it in Gen IV like they did in Emerald with Wattson, but they didn't

Why would they showcase gen 1 mons for gen 2 gym leaders?

Gen 2 was more of a sequel than a new gen. That's why so many new Pokemon are rare and why the story continues a lot of the aspects from Gen 1. Gamefreak didn't want to throw out too many of their core characters (Pokemon especially) in favor of new ones, because they didn't want to alienate fans.

People really need to stop applying Gen 3-6 logic to Gen 2. It was the first Pokemon sequel, so they approached it with a sequel mentality.

Because you have to stop seeing Gen 2 like every other gen.

Gen 2 is basically pokemon 2. Most gen 2 mon where seen as cool rewards not the main thrust of the game. The main thrust was holy shit pokemon 2.

It's why we have bellsprout tower and Slowpoke well, why we have a red gyrados. People wanted more of the mon they had plus something new.

As to the gym leaders, the idea of switching their aces is tempting but Poliwrath suits Chuck over Hitmontop (although top should have been present), Noctowl as well, or at least hoot hoot and Natu. Scizor is retarded but Bugsy had plenty to choose from.

While it definitely was dumb to put scizor up there, Bugsy had a plethora of bug types to choose from, Ledian included.

I can't disagree and although I am a total johtofag I was disappointed that they didn't address the diversity issue. Even more so that they didn't gave Silver his fully evolved team for Victory Road

Scyther was a cool ace

Wattson was fixed in Emerald by giving him Manectric, but in ORAS they gave him Magneton again.

I don't fucking get it.

Referring back to >>25228672 >>25228738, Scyther was a rare and powerful Pokemon RBY. Having it as the second Gym leader's ace was wow factor enough, I'd think.
