>>48626233>Now it is no longer this super special monster,Having higher stats than everything else in the game barring a postgame mon, including the legendary birds you have to traverse through optional dungeons for or beat all 8 gyms, doesn't make it super special?
>I don't see why it should nessecarily be easyI mean just taking the OP's image, other than Charizard, none of those Dragon mons are 'easy' to get. And Dragon on its own, especially with Fairy being a thing, is not an incredibly strong type.
>The badge boost in gen I means that pretty much every shitmon can carry you through the gameAnd that's not good or fun game design at all, especially if that's the rationale for not including better variety. What D/P did wasn't great either, there's a reason why everyone says Platinum is unequivocally better
