>>56073821>what is gen 1 privilegeThat aside Game Freak is an incompetent hack and the franchise is full of wasted opportunities like how Terra Raid events are mainly for Pokemon that you can easily catch in the wild.
For example you can catch a Chikorita, give it the Psychic Terra type, evolve it all the way to Meganium, and level it up to 100. The only difference is that it wouldn't have the "Unrivaled" mark. But really, this is only so that Little Timmy could get a dopamine hit by catching a Pokemon that could be caught in the wild but with a FOTM "quality" tacked onto it.
Congratulations, you have a Charizard with the "Unrivaled" mark. You fell for the FOMO shit and caught a Pokemon that you could obtain in the wild as its base form but with a tacked on FOTM mark that holds no actual meaning other than to advertise that you got a dopamine hit from artificial scarcity.
FOTM and FOMO shit are cancer and Game Freak would rather do this shit instead of fixing the shit they shit out.
