The trash ones I don't have too much of a problem with either, but they are a bit silly and I think we could do without. Anyways, I never said previous generations "suffered" from having too many Pokémon, but there was quite a bit of filler throughout the years that no one really needed. As in, gen 1 has a generic fish that evolves into a bigger generic fish - so they looked at that and they decided it was a good idea to create another generic fish that evolves into a bigger generic fish. Ugh. (I'm talking about Goldeen, Seaking, Finneon and Lumineon) The generations that had most filler were 1, 3 and 5 - not coincidentally, the biggest ones. Arguably, it was fine to have filler in gen 1, since we needed as many Pokémon as possible, but after that it was pointless. |
That's part of my point. I don't consider Pokémon like that filler at all. Not every Pokémon has to be a special little unique snowflake to be worth their inclusion in a generation or well-designed. The world isn't filled with just one unique species of fish. Pokémon doesn't need to be either. Lumineon is a great Pokemon. It doesn't have to be this crazy butterfly of a Pokémon to be a good Pokémon.
