>>32723610>>catch Teddiursa, Phanpy, Gastly, Poliwag, Growlithe before the first gymyou need to add an asterisk... these pokemon were extremely rare, only appeared at certain times of day and some could flee
it wasn't until very recently did I realize that you could catch so many Johto mons early in the game because as a kid I didn't have strategy guides and couldn't play early in the morning (school) and couldn't play late at night (school but also the GBC not having light)
So naturally I missed a lot of shit. Yes, I'm aware that I could play early on weekends and could buy a light to play the GBC with but if you even thought of mentioning that, you're missing the point
In a way, people who say that GSC doesn't have enough Johto mons in Johto are technically wrong but they're kind of right
