>>53688452>that Falkner doesn't even have a Hoothoot.Hoothoot would work really well as since it makes sense for Falkern to have have the day bird and the night bird, Maybe they didn't want to give Falker Hoothoot because the Sprout Tower Boss has it.
>Bugsy could have a Ledian, or an Ariados if they wanted to spice it up a bit.Consider his badge is a Ladybug him not having Ledian is really weird. Also him having cocoons in the first place is just fucking stupid regardless of what gen they happen to be from, just replace them with Ledyba and Spinarak
>Morty would really use a Misdreavus.at the very least, at least ONE person in his gym should have had it. The Gastly line is the only line the entirely of his gym has, its boring.
And while we're at it, Chuck should have a 3rd Pokemon. You could give him Hitmontop since the other two people in his gym use Hitmontop and Hitmonlee. OR give him Heracross since its entire gimmick is throwing things with its horn and Chuck throws a rock.
>I genuinely wonder if there was a reason behind these choices (as silly as it'd probably be) or if it was just GameFreak being GameFreak.If we give Game Freak the benefit of the doubt and assume they actually had a logic other than inexperience, incompetence, or hating Gen 2 Pokemon, the "Rule" seems to be IF Gym Leaders had a Gen 2 Pokemon it HAD to be the ace. Also they seemed to want to avoid doubling up on Gen 2 Pokemon much as possible, so if an Elite 4 used a Gen 2 Pokemon, a gym leader wouldn't be able to use it.
Considering that no Gen 2 gym leader specialized in a type that was used in a Gen 1 gym, and Johto and Kanto share a league, they seem to have designed to be fit in with the Gen 1 gyms.
