Yes

this triggered me so bad as a kid.

>>31902575
Mt Silver is technically in Johto

>only available post-game
>level is so low you can't even use it

>>31903000
Think the point is that you get the new mons with new type in postgame this generation. Kinda poor design.

>>31903020
It's not like dratini was easily accessible in Gen I? Tyranitar evo line is basically the Dragonite evo line of Gen II

>>31903092
You can get Dratini before E4...

Houndoom has been posted on the red and blue oni from japanese folklore.

>>31902575
You can get Larvitar after fourth badge in HGSS

>>31902562
Houndoom has no ears

>>31903334
That's Gen 4, when they had like 10 years to fix massive design flaws.

Neither do owls.

>>31903390
still better than catching Dratini in the Kanto Safari Zone

>>31903092
Use Super Rod anywhere and fish until you have one. It's 25% even.

What the fuck was GF thinking?

It's NOT a Johto Pokemon. It's a gen 2 Pokemon.

>>31903703
Maybe they thought it looked too feminine for Morty.

>>31903703
following some strange design choices from gen 1 era. they liked making exotic pokemon with little battle value or more likely just didnt know how to balance the game. gen 2 actually has 1 more stat-corrective evolution introduced in gen 4 over gen 1.

Magnezone, Lickilicky, Rhyperior, Tangrowth, Electivire and Magmortar

Porygon-Z, Togekiss, Ambipom, Yanmega, Honchkrow, Mismagius, Gliscor, Weavile and Mamoswine.

>>31903916
also miscounted hard in my head. they have like three more stat-corrective evolutions over gen 1. so guess that means a lot of gen 2 designs (not visual designs necessarily) are objectively shittier on average than gen 1's

>Be me, Jasmine
>Go to kanto
>Get's eated and burned

>>31903496
They do though? They are located in different parts on their head to help locate prey

>>31903092
You can buy dratini at the celadon game corner.

>>31902575
Why would you want this or Dratini before the E4? Their evolution levels are so high that you'll be carrying trash until post game, where they finally evolve into their final evolution. They're pointless to have before the E4

introduced in gen 2 =! Johto Pokémon.

They are either native to Kanto and were more tecently discovered or are native to another region and immigrated there. Think of it like in BW2 with all of the new mons there. Time passed, so the available regional Pokémon are different.

Doesn't excuse it necessarily but explains it fully.

I always thought this was because the game was designed around there being 2 regions, hence your first trip to the E4 has them at the 40s-50s. Having Kanto only Pokemon was likely put in place so that the player would still have new Pokemon to discover, even when going through a familiar region. I don't think it was a good idea, but it at least makes sense.

no fuck that.

>I always thought this was because the game was designed around there being 2 regions
We know that's not the case dude.

>>31905569
That and Garchomp are the only ones who actually are viable in-game

>>31905875
What came first, the Kanto exclusive Pokemon or the ability to put Kanto into Gen 2?

>>31905875
No it was designed around 2 regions. But they didn't have enough space so they gutted Kanto. Don't know why they fucked up the level curve though
