>>53059357Those are fair points and I agree that it was dumb but I think I understand it what they were going for. Its essentially the a less strict version of what FRLG did (locking none Gen1 Pokemon out until the postgame). Except instead of actively preventing new evolutions, they simply didn't go out of their way to add the things needed for the new evolutions, hense why you can still evolve evolve lickiting, tangela, aipom, yanma and piloswine
