>>48363037>You don't need a fire type on every team. Get over it.Based retard completely missing the point,its not just limited to fire times, DP's early Pokemon selection is pathetically small till you get past the first gym, and even then the majority of new Pokemon are stuck behind shit like honey trees or squrreled away until the second half of the game, the end result being everyone running near identical teams. Gen 4 introduced a ton of cross gen evos, but none of them were available ingame till Platinum. The distribution was objectively bad.
>Proceeds to list the new flying pokemonYes, Staraptor was your only option for a new flying type since Chatot was so rare, Drifloon was very easily msisable on a casual playthough, Togekiss was Pt exclusive and everything else available was Kantooo. Most people play the new games to use new Pokemon and for everyone who wasn't lucky enough to be at Valley Windworks on a Friday, Starly was their only option.
>You don't need to use defog.You don't need it, but as someone who's tried that route without Defog, you definitely want to have it because that route was designed to suck ass and waste your time with fog up.
And lastly based fucking retard thinking anything I've said has to do with difficulty. I think Gen 4 is in one of the upper tiers in terms of ingame difficulty, but that doesn't mean its Pokemon distribution isn't dogshit.
