There were a lot of stupid decisions regarding the distribution in GSC.

Even to the point that they thought that it was gen 3

probably for the same reason sneasle wasn't available until mt fucking silver.

>>32011401
They fixed that in Crystal

>realize having Sneasel in Mt. Silver is unjustified and bring it back to Ice Cave
>but it's totally fine for Misdreavus to remain

>>32011345
This >>32011377 pretty much.

>Misdreavus and Sneasel, two shitmons, only in Mt. Silver
>Houndour, one of the new Pokémon introduced in gen II, is only available outside Celadon City, a location you could visit in the previous gen
>Slugma, a Pokémon with a BST barely higher than Pidgey, evolves at level 38, into another low-BST shitmon with awful typing. Not to mention Slugma can only be caught in Kanto, meaning that the only 'Johto' Fire-type you can get before the E4 is Cyndaquil, a starter
>Marill can only be caught pretty late, despite having the stats and evolution level of an early-game shitmon

Game-wise gen II is probably my favorite gen. But holy shit did it make some awful decisions when it comes to level scaling and Pokémon distribution. I get that some Pokémon should be Mt. Silver exclusive. It's not a region you've been to before. But why are Pokémon that didn't appear in the previous game exclusive to locations from the previous game?
