>>26173320
...indeed

>>26173343
Break out B/W and it's sequel: you can catch wild huntail & gorebyss route 4 (if I remember right).
Hell, gen 5 is a godsend for catching difficult pokemon to fill your Dex.

>>26173434
Yeah, but their catch rates are ass.

I remember biking around inside Clay Tunnel for 5 hours waiting for a dust cloud to yield a Steelix.

Before ORAS came out you could scum your way through dex completion with just Unown.

>training partner swindles you

>>26173462
Yikes. Yeah, I actually broke out a notepad and paper for my fishing trips in Unova, kept score while looking for a Politoed. It was an *exact* 1 in 20 ratio. Of course, the bastard always knows Perish Song, and opened with it twice. Then Bounces, effectively giving it a safe turn, so it became "can I catch this pokemon in ~2 turns, before it auto faints.

>>26173462
Gen 4 you can catch Steelix just by walking around in Iron Island or Snowpoint Temple

>>26173471
... Explain?

>>26173539
Shit nigga, should've Taunted it before it could Perish Song.

For some trade evos I'll gladly take the plunge. But if I can just grind evolve some mons then I'd rather do that. I struggle with RNG enough as it is.

If you have X or Y there's somebody in Cillage city who wants a luvdisc and they'll give you a steelix

>>26173587
In anime Pikachu could even defeat rock pokemon, in the game he would eat the dust.

sus

>>26173618
What the actual fuck

So what was even the point of the horrific catch rates in Gen V? To make the Habitat List more challenging?

>>26173566
Didn't think of that, like, at all. The fact that I'm still mid game while doing this is kinda complicating the issue.

>>26173693
In every gen since gen 3 there have been weird ways to get some TtE pokemon without trading. Sometimes they're really well hidden. Sometimes finding prior generation common 'mon is impossible. Hell, the only way to get a Magikarp in Gen 5 is to buy one for $500 from some guy on a bridge.
