Which regions had the best "New Pokemon vs Dex Size" synergy? Or the worst? Not particularly the distribution, but just the mons

Kanto and BW1 Unova. New Pokemon only.

The worst would be Hoenn which imported shitton of water types from previous gen.

Bigger dex size isn't necessarily better, Johto and Kalos specifically have way too many mons from other regions. Platinum and BW2 strike the best balance and imo it should always be more than 50/50 in favor of new mons.

Johto did it best. New Pokemon that also built upon the previous generation. Simple but elegant. I thought the execution was really fucking shitty though, like hiding some of the new Johto Pokemon in Kanto region. Seriously, who in the fuck thought that was a good idea.

As far as execution, I thought XY did really well, which surprised me. I really liked that each route wasn't just 3 Pokemon over and over, showed a little diversity and I thought showed off the Pokedex really well. Nicely done. It's weird because the "ratio" is the ugliest looking, but they pulled it off.

Worst was probably D/P/Pt. Clunky in every way, evos no one wanted, new Pokemon weren't great, I don't know. It seemed split.

This. Kanto 'mons felt natural because of how the ecosystem was.

I would love it if every gen worked like gen 5. 90-100% new mons initially, then next game have lots of old mons added. Although honestly it is good that it's a different kind of mix every gen, it's just that setup is the ideal to me.

The correct answer is Hoenn.
135 new Pokémon to replace the worn out Rattata and Pidgey of Kanto and Johto, with 65 old to fill out your team was perfect.

>Johto
Could've been good, but poorly executed like >>29105954 said.

>Sinnoh
20 or so of the new mons were cross-gen evos, and 10 were legendaries. I'm currently re-playing Platinum and honestly the selection at the beginning of the game is atrocious.
The first 4/5 routes are literally
Starly
Bidoof
Budew
Shinx
Zubat

>BW
I liked it, not many did.
>BW2
Was OK, but mons like Riolu and Growlithe pushed the new mons out

>XY
Bloody awful but at least the overall selection was good and added replayability.

Speak for yourself. I thought Platinum Sinnoh was the best because it put a new twist on old mons by giving them cross-gen evos, but still introduced a solid amount of newer mons as well. Alola seems to be doing something similar, so I'm pretty excited for it.

Kalos was probably the worst for me. It had a little too much diversity, you could go through a route and entirely miss a few Pokémon just because of how insanely diverse the selection is.

I dont think Johto has too much from other regions, since many are at least related. Kalos though, a huge disconnect where they new mons are completely dwarfed by the old ones in every way

I think that the regional pokedex should never go beyond 400, including at least 80 new pokemon

Johto was fucking terrible. There's no reason to keep half your mons locked away in the other region.

We know that pinsir is #271 from the trailer if that's anything to go by.

Hoenn did it best, a lot of new pokemon really set it apart as a different region yet it had enough throwbacks to old pokemon as well to expand upon the regional dex size, of course the distribution was awful considering that half of the region is water and more than half of the time you'll run into wingulls or tentacruels but in terms of ratio, the 2/3 ratio of old to new pokemon is the best way to make a region feel new and refreshing. BW did well by making the non-post-game region exclusively filled with new mons, but Unova is a lot larger than Kanto so adding 5 extra pokemon won't make the distribution much better, especially when 13 of those are legendaries.

Johto and Sinnoh did the dexes the best, I tink the fault of Hoenn was the general low number of Gen 2 Pokemon to Gen 1 Pokemon.
