How does Sinno's pokedex without cross gen evolutions and baby Pokémon compare to Gen 6 and 7's lower amount of Pokémon?

Still has the second best set of starters after Alola. but beyond that there are very few amazing Pokemon (literally just Croagunk and Drifloon lines) and only a few really good ones (Starly, Bidoof, Shinx, Buizel, Stunky, Bronzor, Riolu). Lots of mid- to bad-tier filler.

Want it or not, those are still part of the Sinnoh pokédex. Any comparison without them is invalid because hadn't GF resorted to crossgen evolutions, they would have made more pokémon to make up for that.

Look, I'm not happy about it either, but it's time to accept that we aren't getting cross gen evos anymore. Megas were the cross gen evos of last gen, alola forms are the cross gen evos of this gen... even if they shouldn't count as new pokemon, Gamefreak treats them like they do.

Except they are alternate forms, plain and simple. I've never been a mega hater (though a very small few aren't very good designs). Don't bring emotion or tastes into this, it's irrelevant. XY's dex shows megas in the same entry as their traditional forms IIRC as well.

Your own logic is also beat by forms like Deoxys and Giratina and Kyurem's fusions (different design, stats, & moves). But they are all each one pokemon.

Outside of those, most of the pokemon are really underwhelming.

People always bitch about the lack of fire types, but Sinnoh really dropped the ball on psychic types. Excluding legendaries and the cross gen evolutions, you're stuck with Bronzong and only Bronzong. Even with cross gen evolutions you get Gallade, Mr. Mime evolved from a baby, and Chimecho evolved from a baby.

Sinnoh had possibly the highest quality batch of starters to date, Garchomp is infinitely better than Goodra, and the legendaries look fine but are just overly abundant (I'd take gen 4's legendary designs over gen 5's or even gen 6's any day), but yeah, the fossils were absolute trash, and the dex was overall extremely weak.

Like the Krikitot line sucks, bidoof sucks, burmy sucks, cherubi sucks, glameow sucks, fuck combee being rare as fuck AND only evolving when it's a rare female, fuck chatot, and wtf is finneon even.

AND all of those guys suck statwise and in game! Like at least make them decent to use.

Nigga what are you talking about? I only see 2, and the boxart legends have been a de facto trio from gens 3 to 5, so gen 4 is nothing special in that sense.

>X sucks

Half of the Pokemon you mentioned there are early game shitmons, so they have a reason to be shit. Though you are right that it's a problem for the weak ones to overwhelm the good ones by so much. And you forgot to mention this piece of garbage.

Source for that claim? Regardless, a number of pokemon can't change forms. Gastrodon line for example. Some non-mega pokemon need items to be held to change forms, so it's not a matter of ability.

I was about to post this. Gen 4 was awash with forgettable, fillermons. But really, the only Gens that released a load of original new Pokemon were Gens 1, 3, and 5. I exclude legendaries too, because I don't use them or care for them and they're basically post-game. So, Gen 4 really suffers without cross-gens as well. The worst generation for sure in that regard.

Without it would probably be the worst Dex in the series, next to Kalos. With them it would easily trump Gen III, IV or V

But that's because most of the Sinnoh evolutions to Johto Pokemon are some of my favorites in the series

Except they aren't. You're just playing with semantics and being pendantic. They are forms, as dictated by Game Freak and TPCi. You have nothing to stand on. And as I said even your own logic of seperate stats, move pools, and designs can still make a pokemon the same, as we saw with Deoxys, Giratina, and others.

Can I ask you a question ? If these really are forms just like every other god dam previous ones pokemon had, then why you can't change shape in between them, cause that's what a form is at least in pokemon, temporary. I bet if they weren't named after previous mons, you would argue they should count as new mons. Even GF counts them.

That's literally all that defines a Pokemon. Given name, and Pokedex #. The franchise is about arbitrarily categorising the things you see into a list. If Alolan Muk was called something like #780 Lugoobrious, it would be a new species, but it's not, so it's not. Excluding the emphasis of name and number removes any reason for them not being new pokes.

Johto looks like it actually has more unique evolution lines than Sinnoh, Kalos, or Alola, but they managed to do that by making more pokemon that don't evolve.

The only generations that are really stand alone for new pokemon are 1 and 5.

Honestly, megas aren't really a problem, but they shouldn't be added to mainline generation games. They seem like they should only be in remakes or sequels (like B2W2 or if we manage to get a third SuMo game) as a way to add new pokemon without adding new pokemon

As long as megas, alolans and other forme changes share the same dex number then yes they are the same pokémon unlike proper cross-evolutions.

Take this test. Does the pokémon clause in official formats prevent you from using both ninetales and alolan ninetales on the same team? Then they are the same pokémon.

The problem with Sinnoh, mainly in Diamond and Pearl, is that a lot of the new Pokemon, even the shit ones like Burmy or Combee are just annoying as fuck to get, so you only ever encounter the same handful over and over again.

>honey trees
>daily shifting marsh Pokemon
>go into underground and talk to people 32 times just to get Spiritomb
>Rotom postgame until Platinum
>fossils require dicking around in the Underground and could take a while to get if you're unlucky
>Hippopotas super rare until you catch lots of Unown

Sinnoh has a lot of Pokemon I really lke (Torterra, Staraptor, Toxicroak, Abomasnow, Spiritomb, Drapion, and more), but many of them are stupidly annoying to get.

Also not having all the Gen 4 evolutions until Platinum was fucking dumb.

Alolan pokemon count as new no matter how much people want to twist words. Just because Megas arent new pokemon that doesnt mean Alolan forms arn't new pokemon. Saying otherwise is just you being stubborn for no reason.
This point will not be argued.

Imma chime in for a bit.

Whether or not Megas and Alolan forms count as new Pokémon is irrelevant. What matters is, that the large number of cross-gen evos in Sinnoh affected the number of new families. Megas affected the number of new families.
Alola forms affected the number of new families.

Contrary to what this dude said
>>29536698
Comparing Kalos and Alola to Sinnoh sans crossgens is completely fair.

You can compare the amount of completely new lines between generations, although I don't see the point beyond putting the newer generations in a positive light.

Just don't use it as a point when arguing about the total size of the pokédex.
>gen VI and VII aren't small, gen II and IV are about the same size if you exclude pokémon evolving into/from old pokémon!
Which frankly is irrelevant when talking about the total amount of newly introduced pokémon.

Mind you I'm perfectly fine with smaller dexes myself. I just find defending them with "if you do this and that than other dexes are small too" incredibly pointless.

Gen 4 had one of the worst dexes. So many shit designs, half the Pokemon are legendaries.

Actually D/P overall was just complete shit. The engine was slow as balls, the region sucked, the rival was an idiot, everything was so bad. At least HG/SS balanced out Gen 4 a bit.

Any comparison without them is invalid because hadn't GF resorted to Alolan forms, they would have made more pokémon to make up for that.

I don't like how the early gens had a focus on a variety of colors...Gen IV's dex has a huge shift to darker blues and purples. If you ever take a look at a picture of the complete dex, you'll know when you're scrolling through Gen IV Pokemon.

Hey anon, where have you been during the last months? All the thing the other anon say are on the game's official website, heck, the dex entries are right there on the website for you to read.
Also, gastrodon? Really anon? You are trying to compare a Pokemon that comes in two different colors with Alolan forms? You could had use meowstick as a better example to backup your argument.

Not that anon, but they did the same with Megas last gen. Just because they have flavor text on the website doesn't mean they'll have new or separate dex entries.

Up til now, if a form was unchangeable it had the same type and stats as the other form, the exception being Gourgeist and Pumpkaboo. Wormadam, too, technically, though the form is influenced by Burmy, whos form is changeable.

That's the difference between Alola Forms and pretty much every other form and why saying "it's just like Rotom" or whatever is different.

Wow, Snover is the only new non-legendary Pokémon that's catchable in the late game. Dexes usually go by where they appear chronologically in the game and Finneon is catchable after the 5th gym.

And we see that in new Pokemon from Gen VII, too. Look at Lycanroc Day/Night and Oricorio, they are pretty close to being the same thing as Alolan Forms by an other name.

Point is, you can count by new family or new designs or however you want so long as you're clear and consistant.

Hippopotas was fine. Many pokémon have a 5% encounter rate. The thing was just that you could increase it in this case.
I would also say the fossils were fine, since they were pretty common, and you could just keep digging to you found them. Not to mention you could revive them much earlier than in any other game.
I liked Rotom being post-game actually, but I can see why some wouldn't.

>honey trees
>daily shifting marsh Pokemon
Now these are cancer. Since they just include a whole lot of real-life waiting. Same problem with Mirage Islands in ORAS.
Also same reason leveling up Join Avenue is infinitely better than ORAS secret bases.
Grinding and low encounter rates are perfectly fine, but when you limit how much you can grind each day then that's where I draw the line.
