This is how it should be, especially for Gym Leaders. I remember that for the vast majority of GLs for Gens 1 and 4 and some in Gens 2 and 3 that their ace was often unobtainable at that point and that made it more special. Kinda fizzled out nearer the end of each game but their ace was still usually hard to find/evolve.

Rare, maybe, but completely unobtainable, no. That's just a cocktease

That's a good thing, it makes that Pokemon stand out and gets you excited for when you can finally have one of your own. The BW monkeys would be so much less hated if they were these big obstacles that you have to beat then learn that there's three of them you can choose from and find one of your own instead of just being a shitty gift to nullify the Gym Leader challenge, just as an example.

It's still a cocktease though. How come ingame trainers get a certain Pokemon at an earlier point in the game, while I have to wait later on to get the same Pokemon. It's bullshit

Every pokemon will be coded in the game my guy. This is Game Freak we're talking about.

I don't think they're lazy ad much as they are just straight up fucking stupid. Don't be surprised if dexit turns out to be a completely arbitrary decision.

I hated when other in game trainers also have some of the starter Pokémon. Completely removes the feeling of having a special Pokémon.

The only time it really bugs me nowadays is if the mon in question is post-game only like Gen 3 Metagross or event-only, like N's Zoroark in BW1.

Not the first gym leader but a lot of trainers in early Hoenn use Meditite, which you can't catch until Mt Pyre

Not really. I don't mind getting Onix after the 1st gym, but after the 3rd gym is a bit much, especially for such a shitty, poorly-designed Pokemon

How is it fair that an NPC gets to use a Pokemon way before you do?
Luckily it's rare in the newer games. But back in Gen 1-3, that shit was everywhere

It gives you a peek into what mons you can look forward to finding in the future. Where's the fun in battling trainers who only have mons you've already seen? It was only really egregious in Gen 2 where the pokedex would say area unavailable if they were only found under certain conditions.

I don't mind it if the Pokemon can be found on the next route, but if you fight an early/midgame NPC with a mon you can only get at the end of the game (or in Gen 2's case, a separate region), that's way too fucking exessive and that point it's just bad game design. Fuck off

That's not what you said. You said "It was only really egregious in Gen 2 where the pokedex would say area unavailable if they were only found under certain conditions", not necessarily lategame/separate region/ect

Being in a separate region doesn't count as one of those certain conditions? Stop being a pedantic jackass.

Yeah, it's annoying if an NPC has a mon you can't find until lategame, but at least you can find it on the dex.
