Crystal have more options but also more garbage that no one will ever use. Hoppip is a pain in the arse to train and learn no good moves, Ledyba/Spinarak are useless and no one cares about Pidgey/Rattata/Spearow/Caterpie/Weedle.

Also Unown doesn't count because the only player that use it in their team are the one doing challenges, in a normal playthrough you want to have fun.

But Platinum is even worse than Crystal, at least Crystal have variety and some good options like Phanpy/Teddiursa and Growlithe. Sinnoh is just full of gen 1 filler and this is why everyone uses Shinx.

I think options should open up more gradually. It makes it seem more realistic when monsters around your hometown are only a few tame ones, but as you journey out farther away from home you encounter way more numerous and powerful monsters to deal with.

Third versions vastly improve the originals by adding a large selection of new Pokemon to use since the original games are by an large rushed or ignorant to that nuance of the game balance
There, it has been discussed. Now can we talk about why USUM is the worst third version and split into two on top of that?

by this logic no one should ever use Gyarados, because Magikarp is useless until it evolves

USUM does this the best though. It adds 101 new Pokémon to the game while Platinum only adds 59 and Emerald adds none, and also it doesn't have the unobtainable third version pokemon like previous third versions

Are the new games better because they have more pokemon in total? If not, why do you think this is a good point? If so, by that same logic emerald and platinum are better games once you have access to more than ~250 pokemon.
