>>57682776Yes it is. A major appeal of the series is the wide variety of Pokémon for people to like. Hence they never make it impossible to use any Pokémon, even if using some Pokémon would be more difficult than others. They had some problems with this in the earlier games, like how in gen 1 NPC Trainers have infinite PP or how Struggle is not Typeless, issues that are resolved over time as they made new games.
They make it so that every Pokémon, in at least one Form can beat a main game.
>>57682877Getting attached to your Pokémon is an important aspect of the series. As the series brings up constantly the bond between humans and Pokémon. This is reflected and incentivised in gameplay.
>collecting cool monsters is an important aspect of the seriesBut being able to actually use a cool monster you like? That's not an important aspect of the series according to you? You might not like a certain Pokémon but some one does, Game Freak makes it so if that Pokémon is in a main game, that player can beat the game using that Pokémon.
>the shit you're talking about is only important to gay youtubers for their 'CAN YOU BEAT POKEMON RED AND BLUE WITH JUST A LEVEL 1 MAGIKARP' autismfestsAnd there it is. One of the reasonings I suspected. It looks like you are letting YouTube channels live rent free in your head. There's 1025 species of Pokémon right now, there's far more people who like the series, for any Pokémon there's people who want to be able to beat a game with Pokémon they like,
>>57682984So things can only exist that pander to the uncaring majority? This is the same kind of logic that has led to many things being removed from the series, along with other negative aspects of the series.
