I'm hijacking this thread to make a complaint about Gen 2.
I'm trying to play a complete pokedex run of Crystal while trading with myself on Silver and Red. Fucking Remoraid is killing that idea though.
Remoraid isn't available in Crystal, only in Silver/Gold. But it can only be caught with a Super Rod, which can only be obtained in Kanto. Do you see this bullshit? It's the only mon in the fucking gen that can't be caught in Crystal, requires an item from Kanto, and can't be traded from Gen 1.
If it weren't for this piece of garbage mon that I only care about for the sake of completionism, I could end my Silver run early. Instead I gotta get all 8 badges, beat the elite four, and trek my happy ass to the far side of Kanto before I can start my Crystal run.
Also, while we're at it, it's literally fucking impossible to tackle Whitney's gym with a fighting 'mon like the dude by the statue 'suggests'. The only one is Heracross, and EVEN IF you take the time to go back and headbutt trees until you find the right kind of randomized-per-playthrough tree that has Heracross encounters and capture one, it doesn't learn ANY fighting moves until way past level 20, and the earliest fighting TM you can get is Rock Smash which is only obtainable AFTER you beat Sudowoodo, which you can only do AFTER beating Whitney. Gamefreak literally made it impossible for you to use super effective moves on Whitney in a casual playthrough, and it's fucking garbage.
