>>47232591Theres a balance between designing for competitive play and not making bad pokemon. I don't like how all the route 1 bugs are awful, and think beautifly and dustox could've been much stronger.
Really every pokemon in the first part of the game is really bad except shroomish, azumarill, and slakoth. Its sad really.
Fortanately the next cave has zubat, makuhita and aron, but most people have 3 pokemon by then, and are intending to get the rest later on.
