>>47824312I went and checked and you're right.
>Combee, Cherubi and Burmy lines all locked to Honey Trees>Munchlax is probably the single most difficult Pokemon to obtain in a normal game (i'm pretty sure theres a screencap floating around about how horrible the honey tree system is)>multiple version exclusive Pokemon make the selection even smaller, some Pokemon like Misdrevus and Glameow are exclusive to Pearl ONLY and not even in Platinum, same with Stunky and Mime Jr. in DP>Crogunk, Skorupi and Carnivine all locked to the Great Marsh, half an entire team's worth of new Pokemon all stuffed into a single areaWith all this put together, your Gen 4 Pokemon selection by the time you reach Hearthome is really pitiful. I don't think stuffing the region with old Pokemon is an inherently bad thing, but I don't understand why GF went with the stock standard Kanto selection instead of giving players Pokemon that have the new cross gen Evolutions. Pokemon like Magby, Elekid and Duskull are all unabilable until postgame. Sinnoh has a wealth of caves, but the only things you're finding are Geodudes and Zubats, from the very first cave up to fucking Victory Road the selection almost never improves. It's an absolute joke and I can see things being exactly the same when those "remakes" come out.
