>>54846662The whole "new region must spam new mons" thing is a retroactive fan rule that didn't exist at the time.
>I'm not sure if any other game has screwed up as badly as DP when the only available alternative to Chimchar was PonytaGen 1 only had one ghost line and one dragon line
Gen 2 only added one MON, not even entire line, for each
Gen 3 lacked ice types
The first pokemon game to ever not have type distribution issues was Platinum.
>Did nobody at Gamefreak review the regional dex before it was too late?I'm convinced they didn't until Platinum. Probably didn't for BW either considering they had to shoehorn ghost type into the Frillish line and even with that they couldn't give Shauntal 5 pokemon, which resulted in the entire Unova elite 4 only having 4 pokemon each
