>>53694332>But don't come on here and pretend your pickiness is a flaw of the games, it isn't.Yeah bro there's nothing wrong with this encounter table no siree.
>>53693988No, because DP's other major issue is that the way the Pokemon are distrusted is also very terrible. The reason everyone runs the Starter/Staraptor/Luxray trio is because the only other new Pokemon are Bidoof (HM slave), Kriketot (route 1 shitmon only available in the morning) and Budew (baby grass mon that people won't pick up if they get torterra).
It takes until after Valley Windworks for you to actually start getting usable Pokemon, the first pass of Mt. Coronet, the mines and Orebrough all have the same sampling of Psyduck.Machop/Zubat/Geodude which literally no one is ever going to use unless they're forced to via Nuzlocke. Compare this to a game like Hoenn where you have a very very wide selection of Hoenn Pokemon before even the first gym, or Alola where you have a good mix of both old and new Pokemon but at the very least, the old Pokemon are things like Buneary, Zoura, Magnemite, Carbink, ect.
The issue is further compounded with a huge portion of new Pokemon being locked to the mid part of the game or well past the halfway point of the game, including the only 2 Ice types available, and everything in the great Marsh. Meanwhile there are huge sections of the game with absolutely nothing interesting to catch.
