>>34546196>XatuGreat design, outshined by other Psychic and Flying options
>DonphanGreat, but tedious for a while
>CrobatGreat design, very tedious up until late 20s thanks to shitty early movepool and lack of STAB until it's almost fully evolved
>AmpharosFucking ace
>SlowkingFucking trade evolution
>Steelix...Trade
>Espeon and UmbreonBoth great
>ScizorFucking another trade
>UrsaringGreat, yes, but you get it too late
>HeracrossGreat design, still pretty shit in gen 2 thanks to lack of reliable STAB
>HoundoomNot available until Kanto...20 levels behind.
>SkarmoryDope
>KingdraYet another trade evolution
>TyranitarAvailable in mid 20s just before fucking Red
>Raikou, Entei, Suicune and Ho-OhThe designs were great and all, but that doesn't help when they had shit movepools, were hard to get and you never see many of them. And those who weren't too hard to get by got no promotion within the game and you might never see them if you didn't explore every inch of the map to autistic lengths.
Literally no trainers had Scizor or Heracross. Why the fuck didn't Will get Slowking, Espeon, Girafarig? Couldn't they have replaced Morty's Gastly with Misdreavus? Lance didn't even get Kingdra. Bugsy should have gotten Ledian/Ariados line or at the very least evolved Kanto bugs.
