>>38249594That's fine. Only reason I thought you were trying to push it as a leak is because you kind of stated it as a fact but it's not a bad list. I like how water/grass/fire are reserved for the mainline starters online with the exception being Pikachu. The other types being included from other Pokemon is a good idea too. Maybe add Ralts as a Psychic rep, I don't think it'd hurt if each gen got one more non-starter as a playable character. I'm trying to think if there is any other type that isn't being represented on that list but I'm having mind block right now. I think that list covers everything which is nice.
I'd argue that Sneasel's stats are too high for a PMD game but I'm positive that starter Pokemon (at least in EoS) have jacked growth rates. Was playing through with a Pikachu and a Snorunt. Pikachu had significantly higher stats despite having lower base stats in the main games compared to Snorunt.
I think a third rep for each gen would be nice (to match Kanto since it has 3 reps that aren't true starters)
>gen 2I'd add Spinarak or Mareep
>gen 3Ralts
>gen 4Sphinx just to keep people happy I guess. There is probably a better choice though.
>gen 5Roggenrola or Axew
>gen 6Flabebe
>gen 7Jangmo-o
and that's purely because of the fact that gen 7 has so little to offer.
