Why didn't they want people to see tangrowth and carnivine? Is it because they're shitty designs? Horrible game design too.

Carnivine's a shitmon even by campaign standards and Tangrowth is postgame-only.

Oh, wait, scratch that on "postgame-only" actually, you literally can't even GET Tangrowth period without first transferring a Tangela from Gen 3.

Wasn't it meant to be a swarm but they fucked up or something? I remember reading something about that and Tropius.

This is one thing I appreciate more about more modern Pokemon games. They don't reuse Pokemon on teams as much, even when there is overlap between different type specialists.

Honestly it actually helped making them feel powerful and rare, it hyped them up a lot at the time, so i'm glad they were post game

Seeing Pokémon for the first time through gym leaders is a long standing tradition.
Even Roserade applies because you can't get the shiny stone till way later, and who the fuck ever caught a Cherubi that early?

Yes but you shouldn't have to wait half of the game in order to get it either. Roserade fills that role perfectly, and Cynthia having one makes her feel like kind of a boss rush which was the point.

BW are actually the only base games that are better than DP

theyre not. if you complete the sinnohdex, you unlock the national dex regardless of whether you've cleared the E4 and cynthia or not

Even gamefreak knows any player seeing the abomination they turned tangela into would turn off many players.

pokemon has always had a major fucking problem of not utilizing its roster diversity. I legitimately don't know if it's intentional or if they consider trainer/gym leader rosters to be unimportant, last-minute additions.

both carnivine and tangrowth are incredibly based.
>>55447863
this is something of a genuine problem. one of the actual issues with gen 4 is how it had a tendency to gatekeep mons for some reason.

Is that what happened? I remember back in the day seeing the list of Pokemon not being in DP and it was exclusively starters, legendaries, and those two. Stuck out like a sore thunb and bugged the fuck out of me.
