Found the hoenniggers/sinnohshitters

How the fuck do you mistake Skarmory?
It was one of THE brand new steel types.
Skarmory, Steelix, Sneasel and Umbreon were extreme popular during Pokemania due to their new and rare type.

Kids shat themselves over Pokeyman being edgy and made of steel.

Because I was 5 when gen 2 came out? I didn't really get into Pokemon until around the time Emerald was released.

I was there from the beginning and I would still forget Skarmory was Gen II. It was so much easier to find in RS than GS

Both of them are rare in Johto and common in Hoenn.

In Johto and Hoenn, Skarmory can only be found on one route, with a 5% encounter rate.

I considered Skarmory an ugly forgettable Pokemon at the time of Gen II, because I didn't know how good it was. If it weren't amazing in battle you'd forget it too.

Johtowhatever here, I finished the story without ever catching it. Even following the anime in the Johto, I don't think I remember seeing it anywhere.
Ended up catching it in Emerald years down the line.

Implying Skarmory wasn't popular because of the cards as well.
This was one of the popular cards of it's time

that's probably cause gen 4 added a pre and post evolution to roselia. And honestly they're probably my favorite randomly added evolutions from that game. Fucking love roserade

same, I stopped watching the anime religiously by that point and I only had gold back in the day. Easy to miss when the steel gym had two magnemites and steelix instead of one of each

That Skarmory is extremely useless by the moment you find him just like Gligar
They could have easily fixed it by introducing a weaker pre-evo that you can find earlier in the game and let you evolve his way into Skarmory
This is why one-stagers are garbage unless you encounter them really early

I thought Skarmory and Slugma were both Hoenn pokemon. Colosseum didn't help either.

No, because I was there when gen II released. I can somewhat see your point, though, as Skarmory is version exclusive, only catchable on one route with a 5% encounter rate and I think only one trainer in the whole game uses one.
While it's as rare in the wild in Hoenn, both Winona and Steven use one and it's not version exclusive.

That would be true if this was any other game, but there's so much more to do in GSC and HGSS after you reach route 45. You get plenty of time to train and use Skarmory/Gligar.

Nope, around the time gen 2 was airing I was more into the Yu-Gi-Oh show for like a year and was out of pokemon until gen 3, and by then I was out of the show. Other than the first couple seasons, first 4 movies plus a few scattered new ones I haven't seen anything else from the pokemon anime
