and remember that the HGSS movesets were from after the insane movepool powercreep of gen 4. your team is way stronger in HGSS than it was in GSC

>>random Gyarados lead with fucking bite, twister and Dragon rage
The Gyarados is even worse the more you think about it
>You already fought a Gyarados at the Lake of Rage, fight one later when you fight Lance, and fight one again when you fight Blue. why do we need a 4th Gyarados shoved in
>having 3 Dragonair was a fun parallel to Lance who had three dragonites
>GSC gym leaders are constantly crapped on for not using many Gen2, and unlike every other third version Crystal made no changes their teams, so they just had to live with the "diet Kanto" reputation. But regardless many gym leaders had issues outside of not using Gen 1 Pokemon, Falkner uses a shitty early game bird, Bugsy uses cocoons, Morty's entire gym only uses a single ghost type family, and Chuck only has 2 Pokemon. Clair's team was one of the few flawless ones in GSC yet she was the one HGSS decide to change, by taking away one of her Dragon types and replacing it with a non-dragon type and giving it shit moves.
>At least when the other Johto Gym Leaders used Gen1 Pokemon, it was usually Gen1 Pokemon that don't get much attention, Like Primeape, Seel, Pidgey, etc. Gyarados is one of the most shilled Pokemon ever to the point where even after Dexit, it has never missed a game.
>It's a bait and switch. Gyarados was weird but it does fit with the dragonair being serpentine and blue. Maybe Clair's rematch will have a ocean or even a blue theme. Clair is somewhat vain, it makes sense she would pick Pokemon that look like how she dresses. Maybe she could have Altaria, Lapras or even Nidoqueen. So what is her rematch team? It's Gyarados, CHARIZARD, Aerodactyl, Dragonair, Dragonite, Kingdra, its literally just Lances Team except with 2 Dragonites replaced with a Dragonair and Kingdra.
What the fuck were they thinking?

The rematch team really seems even worse. Since it was Gen 4, they could have readily gone to other Gens to fill out each team with more dragons. They did that for Lance, where he swaps Aerodactyl and two Dragonite for Salamance, Garchomp, and Altaria, but Clair picks up Aerodactyl and Charizard instead, which leaves Flygon completely unused.
Or if they really wanted to push the sea-serpent theme, they could have tossed in Milotic to further differentiate her and Lance. It still learns Dragon Pulse after all.

There's still not quite enough dragons at that point for two full teams of 6 with no repeats, but they didn't even come close.

B-but anon, they increased their levels by 1 level each.
It's so much harder and better balanced!

The worst part about Clair's rematch team is that they made Dragonite her ace instead of Kingdra.

And Swablu is a radio encountee on Route 45, yet they gave Altaria to Lance instead.
