how do you feel about mons being created to fit a specific character in one of the game instead of the other way around?

I personally think Crobat is quite cool
>Evolves from Golbat, a shitmon Team Rocket loves
>requires Friendship
>Silver, who escaped from Team Rocket, has Zubat just like other grunts. It seems that he stole it from other trainer(probably Team Rocket grunt)
>But later, unlike other grunts, Silver evolves it into Crobat since became more careful about his pokemon
>Silver is more than just a former Team Rocket member, he escaped from the dark past. Just like Crobat earning extra wings to fly faster than before.

You forgot Gardevoir. Wally went from being a Ponyta main, to being a kid who would become a psychic gym leader at the end of the game, to a secondary “rival” around the same time Ralts (a mon with his exact color scheme) was added later into development.

At this point just make it a battle bond form instead of forcing the entire species to turn into dancers for no good reason

The characters are created to fit the pokemon, not the other way around, idiot.

Nope. See >>58179770
Ralts was added late into development, after they had bounced around ideas for Wally.

Is this what happens when you get 100% of your information from "cut content" youtubers or twitter? Kill yourself.

It can work but a mon usually needs something to stand on its own too. Type:Null/Silvally is arguably another one. Nothing wrong with it as an starting point though.

Should have given Starmie to a space nerd so it'd look like something out of Gradius

not true, these pokemon also exist to be used by the player.
here are some pokemon that REALLY only exist to fit some role in the game
>Onix - first boss with stupid high defense but everything else on par with other first stage mons, too weak to use long-term
>Nosepass - ditto for gen 3, but is a little more balanced
>Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour - meant for a type matchup tutorial. i can't in good faith complain about these because I played BW as a kid and it went exactly as intended.
>Luvdisc - heart scale farm
also especially in gen 1 a lot of moves seem more like ways for opponents to disrupt you rather than something you'd use on theme. like Disable or Supersonic.

Hattena stays pure psychic for two stages before becoming psychic/fairy with Hatterene.
The only reason this is the case is because Bede switches from being a psychic type specialist to a fairy type gym leader.
