>>48383108The new Pokemon were meant to be rare so that the player could discover them, for themselves. But you know what, for the sake of argument and to make Johto fit in better later gyms, let’s add in 1 more Gen 2 Pokémon to each team. Also to add some challenge. (I’ve posted this before if it looks familiar)
>FalknerAdd a Hoothoot, (it's the nocturnal equivalent of Pidgey), encourages players to play at different times.
>BugsyAdd Yanma (A bug researcher would have a rare Bug type), encourages player to use the map to find Pokémon.
>Whitney: Add Furret (cute normal type). Snubbull could haves worked it's a Fairy type now though it gives it would have been fine at the time the games were made.
>MortyActually he has enough Pokemon, either swap out one Haunter for a Midreavus or keep his team the same but give Misdreavus to one the last trainers in his gym.
>ChuckAdd Heracross
>JasmineCorsola (she used to be a Rock type Trainer and she lives right by the coast). Also an easy kill for Meganium for once. And encourage players to be prepared for unexpected things.
>PyrceDelibird (Old man with Santa bird fits), Having it use TMs would show the player how Pokémon, worthless level up moves can be made at least use like with TMs. Plus he’s supposed to be a breather boss so having a weaker mon like Delibird works.
>ClairThere are no other Gen 2 dragons types aside from Kingdra, nothing in Johto fits the theme of her team, and she’s enough of a challenge as it. So you could keep her team as is. Or she could get a Dunsparce since its a serpent but considering her pride I can't imagine her putting a weak pokemon like that on her team. Though you could argue that she's so overconfident and delusional she thinks HER Dunsparce is abnormally strong.
