How would you fix Sinnoh's Pokemon distribution?
>>
>>59282156
You can tell a fat balding mad had these teams
>>
>>59282156
>Kalos there
Bigger elephant in the room
It just hides it better with an inflated regional dex, and it's assumed one of your slots will be a Mega and/or a Kanto starter
But some people genuinely like just using Pokemon exclusive to the gen they're introduced in
>>
>>59282156
I make the Elekid line available earlier. Add Murkrow and Misdreavus to Platinum too.
That's all.
>>
the plat dex is close. Bare minimum? Make heatran a pseudo legendary like he should have been from the beginning...
>>
>>59282198
>It just hides the shitty pokemon distribution better by not having shitty pokemon distribution
>>
>>59282156
Make Hippopotas, Buneary, and Skorupi appear earlier
Make Drifloon appear once a day instead of only Friday, or just make it a standard encounter
Make Cherubi and Combee standard (but still rare) encounters
>>
>>59282156
Completely remove dual slot, pokeradar, and swarms as a mechanic and just make them all normal encounters in their respective routes instead.
>>
>>59282156
add the DP version exclusives to Platinum, for one.
but also lock the stronger pokemon to honey trees or the safari zone rotation, and have the weaker ones easily available in the grass.
burmy? cherubi? i'm not waiting six hours for those. but lickilicky? or scyther? i might wait for that. carnivine is only on certain days? fuck that, now it's always and you have to wait for tangrowth and yanmega.
also, remove the wurmple line from sinnoh entirely. it's a complete waste of space.
>>59282252
hi yawnfag

The "Sinnoh Team" may as well be satire of itself.
But lets not pretend that people who rag on gen 4 for people picking the same six Pokemon for the average Sinnoh player are innocent when it comes to this for all the other regions as well
>>
>>59282156
First we address their obsession with ZUBAT. MACHOKE. GRAVELER making up a majority of route and cave encounters. It's funny how people make fun of this like it's a problem in all games but in reality Shittoh is the only one with this fetish. I can cope with replacing this trio with other low route shitmons, just stop using them everywhere it's so tiresome
>>
>>59282156
Start with Platinum dex, remove every weakling introduced in Weakto (yes, that includes Umbreon), make all the evolutions of weaktomons into single stages (also skip directly from Porygon to Porygon-Z) and include every legendary introduced up to gen 4 except the ones from Weakto.
>>
>>59282491
Crobat, Machamp, and Golem are not shitmons. I bet you want to drop them for actual garbage from Hoenn.
>>
>>59282511
No, I'd like for the "cold" region to have more than 3 Ice-type pokemon available rather than the KANTOOOOOOOO pest trio invading every route
>>
if it aint broke dont fix it nigga
>>
>>59282528
>No, I'd like for the "cold" region to have more than 3 Ice-type pokemon available
What's the point if the average Pokemon fan is going to pretend they don't exist (outside of shitting on them, of course)?
>>
Sinnoh's Pokedex is fine.
I think you guys just don't like Sinnoh Pokemon desu. You won't use Drapion, you won't use Bronzong, you won't use Carnivine. Admit it.

>>59282198
>Bigger elephant in the room
These are not even the most common XY mons.
There's no Dragon/Fairy/Steel combo. Namely, Goodra, Zard X, Sylveon, Florges, Aegislash.

>the "aint broke" in question
>>
>>59282156
Remove Ponyta from Route 206 and 207, and add Numel to 206/207. Add Slugma to the lowest floor of Iron Island. Add Chinchou to the Good Rod pool for Route 222. Add Pichu to Eterna Forest during the day. Add Grimer to 214, and Tyrogue to the foggy portion of Mt. Coronet.
>>
>>59282586
You could fix it but the Sinnoh team would still be the "go-to" team.
>>
>>59282198
Is there anything really wrong with that tho
>>
>>59282583
Sinnoh has a lot of ugly pokemon
>>
Outside of Starters, Staraptor, Lucario and Garchomp, Sinnohmons that aren't evolutions of prior mons are shitmons. Adding shitmons isn't necessary unless they fill a niche, and we've already had a lot of classic RPG niches filled by Kantmons, which is why Sinnoh (and unsurprisingly, Johto and Hoenn) filled a lot of their routes and dungeons with the same Kantomons that fit those original niches

The real problem was Masuda locking all of the new evos to the post-game, which suffocated the main game's variety significantly because it only had less than 150 Pokemon to work with and the type diversity was piss poor. People clown on Fire only having Ponyta as an option, but Electric only has Luxray, Raichu and Pachirisu which isn't better at all. Even Volkner doesn't use Pachirisu

RS cut nearly half the Pokemon in existence for no reason (200/386), but DP didn't even use a third of the whole dex for its main game (150/493). This is just proof Masuda legitimately did not know how to incorporate the amount of new Pokemon added to each game and just cut corners to keep things easier to program since he's a man with zero ambition for true growth
>>
it's crazy how many sinnoh mons were locked behind weird requirements. It feels like apart from the meme standard sinnoh team you really only get gen 1-3 mons. Kind of feels like kalos, in that way, especially with so many of the cross-gen evos being handled similarly to mega stones: you just kind of can't use them til post-game, for the most part.
>>
>>59282156
No nigger alive on gods green flat Earth used gogoat, unfuckingfeazant, stoutland, or fucking MINUN in a playthrough and im pretty sure salamence isnt even possible pre e4. Praying for the retard behind this gay image to be flattened by a bulldozer swiftly.
>>
>>59282156
Platinums dex is fine I'd just re work the honey trees and great Marsh. Either consolidate all the honey tree mons to the great Marsh or make it so honey acts instantly instead of having to wait 6 hours.
As for the dp exclusives I'd add them back in of course. Put Misdrevous on Mt. Cornet and Murkrow in the swamp area. Maybe make Swinub and Snorunt earlier encounters too, somewhere around that town where Cynthia's grandma lives.
>>59283097
Mence is but it requires as fuckload of grinding. Wouldn't recommend it.
>>
>>59283097
>Stoutland bad
You're insane. The thing is pretty damn solid.
>>
>>59282996
>RS cut nearly half the Pokemon in existence for no reason (200/386)
NOT inserting the whole national dex in the region isn't a design flaw.
>>
>>59283097
>gogoat
>unfezant
>stoutland
Thanks for suggesting half of the team for my u gen 6 playthrough.
:3
>>
>>59283097
Unfezant is fine. The dog is actually good since Gen 5 just hands you retarded TMs for it
>>
>>59283150
In the words of Colgate... I DISAGREE!!!!!
>>
>>59282156
? Platinum already did that.

The issue literally comes down to "Not enough fire types" and "Not enough electricity" types.
>>
>>59284652
Cutting the transfer capability from gen 2 to gen 3 is a complaint that I can accept, but thinking that every region forward should have every pokemon catchable in a single game would get silly really fast.
You're supposed to look at the generation as a whole for the national dex (in gen 3's case, FRLG and the Gamecube games).

Put another fire type in and make it a day
>>
>>59284980
Also do this >>59282215
>>
why are people forgetting that plat gives you a level 20 eveee for free AND a thunderstone and fire stone shortly after that. Not to mention thunderbolt and flamethrower TMs are found on the map as well
>>
When I was a kid, I did 3 playthroughs with all the starters and had different teams for each one.

Though, I did have to trade them in as eggs, including a Chimchar with ThunderPunch.
>>
>>59282156
Remove chimchar and Ponyta from the dex and add more water types.
>>
>>59282156
Unova...
>>
>>59282156
Lucas looks the coolest here
