>>47922814>>47922846>Comparing cave filler to a fucking starter PokémonStarter Pokémon are supposed to be rare, one in the whole file, except in Emerald and HGSS where you can get a set from another region without trading by doing something worthy of achievement. I'm not AGAINST including Kanto starters in XY, but the fact that they give you one so early in the game doesn't make it feel special to get one, it makes it feel like a promotional thing. You could argue that it's to give the player a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve and teach them that, except they literally give you a Lucario with a Mega Stone not long after, and there was also the event Torchic with the Blazikenite. And why does Charizard get two Mega Evolutions?
You clearly think that Geodude and Zubat aren't worth shit, and would prefer to get something new and exciting like Hippopotas and Gible. Well me too, and the presence of filler is there to make the new stuff more appealing and desirable in comparison so you feel more motivated to search it out, and Gible is especially worthwhile and should not be simple cave filler. Starters should also be special, but making everyone get a mandatory second starter early on from I KNOW WHAT THAT IS Land strips it of being special. Turns out that milkshakes taste like nothing if that's all you ever drink, and we appreciate them more by having different foods that may not be as strong or sweet.
Now back to discord yawnie
