>>43666197>This doesn't happen until you reach Kanto and even then it isn't a complaint as you're returning as the Champion, i.e., all powerful.the goldenrod radio tower takeover makes you fight rocket grunts with level ~25 rattatas and grimers. this is seven badges in
>A sequel 3 years later showed actual progression in it's world?????actual progression doesn't mean removing every dungeon because of space limitations, it would have been better to cut kanto postgame altogether and save it for a later game
>Memes have rotted your brainno argument
>Implying they're less present than Dragon or Ghostthey are. you can catch gastly on early routes and get dratini in goldenrod. meanwhile, the only dark type you can get is umbreon (murkrow, sneasel, houndour and tyranitar are all postgame only). steel types are locked behind metal coat trades and the only ones you can reasonably get early are magnemite (a kanto mon, of course) and forretress
>That's Gen Ilast time i checked lance had three dragonites
>Balanced out for open progession, you can fight Morty-Pryce in any orderopen progression doesn't mean shit if every battle is a curbstomp
>This isn't truefalkner, bugsy, whitney, and chuck's gyms have no gimmicks, and jasmine, blue and blaine's gyms don't even have trainers
>Every dex has loads of statistically poor Pokemon, Gen II at least had a design aesthetic to it and almost every Pokemon was useful in the main game.johto is one of the worst offenders, see pic related. they had to make crossgen evos in gen 4 just to make them usable
>People appreciate it because it's fucking good, had some thought and heart put into it, and isn't boring garbage like Gen VI+gen 2 looks and sounds good but it hasn't aged well
