What were they thinking?

Not even talking about Kantomons Vs Johtomons.

This is just a level-curve/ difficulty and boring battles issue.

Were they lazy when they made this teams?

I agree every Pokemon game except USUM is shit

Yes, it was pretty bad, but it's been 20 years ago and HGSS was just playing it safe and faithful. It's better than gen 1 ridiculous movesets and bugs, and a little worse than gen 3 E4. Let's just hope they'll fix than in future remakes if they're going to make them.

I really don't get what they were thinking when they made 2 dragon specialists for gen 2 when there are only dragon lines in the whole game.

I can excuse the remakes because they had rematches at least. But what in the world would you put 2 magnemites in the 6th badge? Or repeat evolution lines with no reason?

You know why?
Because they know how game design works. You don't want to spoil Pokémon that you can encounter later in the wild. Especially Jothomons.
And you want to spoil Pokémon that you can't encounter, like steelix.

tldr: 99% of Any Forums would make an awful Pokémon game because they can't into game design

Did I say it was ok? Of course it wasn't. Maybe they wanted to hide stronger and rared steel types, but they could easily gave her Magneton.

Ok now explain why this Game design style put 2 magnemites instead of magneton, a 5th badge with 2 Pokémon, or Seel instead of Cloyster etc

this is pleasing to look at and probably fun to fight too, thanks user

No, it’s you being an asshole, because this proves that most complaints about Johto/Gen 2 are just lies
>take an issue Johto actually has (Johto gym leaders use mostly Gen 1 Pokemon so many Gen2 Pokémon are robbed it this spotlight that every other Gen’s mons gets)
>exaggerate the fuck out of it or make it a bigger problem than it it “JOHTO hAZ No IDENTITIE, WEST KANTTOOO, THE New MOnS ALL SUcK so no one uses than ” instead of taking thee seconds to look at the genuine reasons why the “flaw” exists (Kanto is connected to Johto so having similar mons make sense, new Pokémon were meant to be searched for, many johto pokemon are used by other prominent people and they didn’t want repeats)
>once you’ve run that discussion into the ground, invent a complete lie “Johto gym leaders are lazy and too easy”
There is is no issue with the difficultly of Johto gyms that is common in nearly all gyms in the series. All gym leaders are easy, ironically because Johto’s wild encounters have low levels they give less EXP (which is the actual source of the level curve problem everyone bitches about) so gym leaders are slightly harder because you’ll be at a lower level when you encounter them.

Yeah, they're lazy and too easy. Level grind problem is another flaw of the games, due to low level trainers post 4 badge. There is no excuse for some leader's teams

>Johto gyms are easy
>in fact they're so easy I have to grind to beat them
I humbly accept your concession

This but make Morty's Ninetales shiny

Yup, even if grinding is a pain in the ass, leader's movesets and Pokémon are so shit that it's still easy. Only in the E4 you can feel the level difference, and after that all the Kanto gyms are easy as fuck

Pretty aesthetic. I like it.

>too easy
>muh level curve means my Pokemon are under-leveled

Pick one.

>artist picks Pokemon for the Gym Leaders based on their artistic vision
>NOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST GIVE THEM TEAMS THAT DON'T CATER TO MY AUTISM

This is near perfect. If i had to change something, I'd have Corsola be part of Jasmine's first team (she started off as a Rock trainer so it makes sense it would be on her starting team)

This doesn't really count since there are rematches (remakes) and Stadium teams, that give them a full team of 6 competent mons.

I get that every character use Pokémon according to their aesthetics and tried to respect that.

But for the sake of fun and challenge I think that it's OK to give them better teams, still trying to not get away from the original vision

Both are true in different sections of the game, as I'm sure others have told you many times. Your inability to cope with that fact doesn't make it false.
