What a horrible thread, Kanto threads are always filled with unique teams. There is no generic Kanto team except maybe something copying Ash like Pikachu/Zard/Venu/Blast and even then the last 2 vary quite a bit.
For the record I don't think Johto and Sinnoh have teambuilding issues either and if you wanted you can make a unique team.

Johto in HGSS absolutely does have teambuilding issues. No good Fly users in the game. Also need to have 2 water Pokemon for Surf and Waterfall

I went out of my way to use Electabuzz in my run of Pokemon Red. I remember getting a nintendo magazine with sugimori art that had the location of every pokemon in the game and Electabuzz became my favorite because of his design. I was glad when his Evo made him meta for a while.

People don't realize that when you're just playing the main game you can make any pokemon work if you level them up. You can make a unique team in every game you're just faggots who don't want to leave your comfort zone.

They don't. I keep seeing memes about how everybody used an Ampharos in Johto and a Staraptor in Sinnoh and I never had those on my team, along with the other Pokemon that supposedly everyone used.

I used to walk around with my Dragonite so much, I thought about teaching it Fly so that I could finally box my Noctowl and just solo the game with Dragonite. There's good Fly users in the game. You might want to have 2 Water-types for Surf and Whirlpool, but giving the Red Gyarados Waterfall is a smart move because it also learns Dragon Dance. If you set up Dragon Dance once or twice, the Red Gyarados will cut a swath through the Elite Four, especially Lance given that it also learns Ice Fang.

I get sinnoh but people really say that about johto?
Pokemon distribution chugs ass but I can still form a unique team pretty easily.

Johto kind of forces you to use shitmons regardless of playthrough.
Sinnoh has a cookie cutter team practically fed to you and forces you to purposely avoid cliche picks.
What I haven't been able to figure out is kalos being the most diverse region but everyone ends with the same team anyways.

You don't have to use a single one of those. Even if you were going for a powerful / optimal team possible you could still opt for the likes of Gengar, Starmie, Slowbro, Tauros, Exeggutor, Rhydon, Omastar, Kangaskhan etc. If there's one thing Kanto doesn't have a problem with it's distribution.

That was always an afterthought, and they never intended for people to take it seriously. That's why it's so painful to get perfect stats. PvP was always a bonus mode that you'd play with kids local to you.
