>>54201621i used gen 1 to make a mathematical breakdown of a pokedex
one problem i personally have with fan dexes is they often lack restraint, so things get messy and broken
red and blue had 15 types, 150 pokemon
25 pokemon that didnt evolve, 78 pokemon part of two stage lines, and 48 that were three stages. there were 89 single types and 62 double types
obviously just because this is how things worked in red and blue doesnt mean its the best way to do things, but its a starting point
i find working within self imposed restraint helps be be more creative especially when i allow myself to break my own rule when i come up with a good idea
