It's infuriating
Hey guys remember Finneon?
No? Well that won't be a problem anymore
I GTS'd every single fish mon. Magikard is asinine levels of common

Maybe shit would bite if you could actually let the damn thing sit.
It's tradition you child.
>>30577425
Tradition is that you get upgraded fishing rods later that let you catch better things that aren't magikarp
In sun and moon you get one Fishing Rod that catches Magikarp 99% of the time and never gets an upgrade
>>30577425
"tradition" is a fucking stupid reason for doing anything
>>30577425
i bet you also like a billion fucking zubats in every cave for 20 years too

The Pokemon distribution in SM is a fucking joke. Why this literal joke redesign of a design that was bad to begin with is found everywhere is incomprehensible.
>>30577717
>oh boy a new route i wonder what pokemon i'll catch this time
>same fucking wingull + ratata/ trumpachu on every route
>>30577717
Drilbur and cacnea would be perfect in that route

What in the actual fuck is this distribution?
>>30578271
member the old games
member kanto
wouldn't want to scare people off with new pokemon in a new pokemon game after all
>>30578323
This whole gen was just GF sucking off Genwun

Still love it.

I think this gen failed on capitalizing on cool new water pokemon.
>>30578406
Agreed, but i still ended up with a great gen 7 only roster. I would have preferred if some were more common like stufful or dewspider or mereanie, but they definitely should have mixed it up. At least let me catch different guys other than the 10000 magikarps and digletts and rattatas and gumshoos and golbats. Give me ferrothorn, drilbur, swoobats, cacneas, cacturns, maractus, or a unown. God the Kanto love from game freak sucks

>Johto all over again
>Have an antagonist team that is literally filled with hoodlums
>Can't even be fucked to include the Scrafty line, the LITERAL Hoodlum Pokemon
>Team doesn't even use shit like Pancham/ Pangoro despite them being in the game to reflect some aspects of delinquent culture
>Grunts end up using stupid shit like Drowzee instead
>>30577425
except this is the only game where your only choice is to get magikarp 95% of the time. older games that only happened with old rod. and even XY changed things up and gave you luvdisc, which was actually useful.
>>30578618
Dewpider is actually pretty common in Brooklet hill while surfing, he's only hard to find in the grass. Day only though which makes it a tad more annoying.
>>30577489
>>30578779
Upgraded rods are Stars exclusive.
>>30578586
it's haunted algae you nerd
>>30578919
It's ghost seaweed. I didn't know that until after I caught it. And spooky seaplant doesn't exuse its horrendous encounter rate.
>>30578406
its the 20th anniversary game
