>>36424933I've nothing against the more potent pokemon like Heracross or Feebas being a bit more work to find. What is annoying is how even the garbage ones that would be a hassle to get, with gen 2 of course being the worst offender to that.
Slugma and Murkrow? You don't get until you get to KANTO. Not even an 'also available in Kanto', just in Kanto itself. There are of course other mons, but they're still considered somewhat good and its just the ball ache of what is so concealed away being nothing special.
Yanma, Snubble and Dunsparce? 1% encounters unless you get a random chance call to say "oh hey, theres a swarm here" which is also random as fuck when a call that will appear, or if its just bullshit of nothingness "yeah I had an intense battle, call you later okay?".
Qwilfish and Remoraid? Worst of both worlds, need a postgame item and to wait on a call.
Most of the others are pretty reasonable, but fuck me are those ones in particular just grating and make your newer options so limited unless you want to play a game of patience for trash. Its no wonder you see people hyping up Ampharos, Jumpluff, Lanturn, etc. as they're as easy to access and "new" as it gets.
