>>37652587The other "waifubait pokegirls" don't throw a fucking tantrum when you kick their ass in a Gym battle and waste your time making you leave and come back.
Now that I think about it, half the Gyms in Gen 2 had blatant padding.
>GoldenrodWhitney throws a tantrum and refuses to give you your badge.
>Olivine"Jasmine's not here, go to the lighthouse."
>Olivine Lighthouse"Hey you fought all these random trainers loitering around to get to me, but this Ampharos is sick. Can you go across the goddamn ocean and fight this other completely unrelated gym, then Surf all the way back, climb back up the lighthouse, and THEN meet me at my gym?"
>Mahogany Town"Go to the Lake of Rage, beat up a shiny Gyarados, go back to that one house in Mahogany Town's secret basement dungeon and deal with the new Team Rocket that was only added to pad out game length and fail to ever be remotely competent or threatening, and THEN you can fight Pryce who might as well not exist since you'll never see him outside his damn Gym."
>Blackthroen "City""Hi, I'm Clair. I'm a massive fucking bitch and refuse to give you my badge because this section of the game apparently wasn't annoying enough. Go to this dumb cave with the worst music in the series and find a shitty hold item whose effect doesn't even work in Gen 2 and then I'll give you my badge. Unless you're playing Crystal, in which case you also have to talk to a hobo at the end of the lake and answer ridiculously simple questions about not being a dick to your pets."
