>>34893811Normal and Bug are the early game shitmon types. They shouldn't be allowed to be good.
Ice and Dragon usually can't be acquired until very late in the game, so they should be strongest. You'd have no reason to catch anything new if the strongest team you could make is your starter and five early game birds and rodents. That one of the things I hated about Sinnoh, one of the most powerful strategies was to just plow through with Starter + 5 Staraoptors, and then later sub out your weakest Staraptor for Gible and and oyur second-weakest Staraptor for the box legend. Early game shitmons need to be shitty so you actually have a reason to use late-game pokemon.
That's something I loved about Unova, the starters were kinda bad so it was mostly painless to box them. The early game crap like those elemental monkeys and Unfezant were all terrible and mostly outclassed by stuff you could get later. There was a wide variety of early-game bugs and most of them were bad. Unova freaking nailed it, they got it right. I just wish there were a few more water types mid-game, but BW2 fixed that.
