| mZuzek said: I understand your point - I just think that nowadays, when there's over 700 Pokémon, it's completely pointless to continue adding generic filler ones, because there's already so much of it. The generic bugs, generic fish, generic birds, generic everything, they're all there already. That's why I want newer generations to continue introducing few Pokémon, so the roster doesn't get too much larger too fast and the additions that are made are worthy Pokémon with nice concepts and designs behind them. |
Hmmm... While your point is fair, I still think there is merit to having those kinds of Pokémon each generation. Every new generation has its own ecology, and having those specific types of Pokémon being unique to each region lends to that region's personality and individuality.
Take Unfezant. That's probably the kind of Pokemon you'd consider unecessary, and maybe they could have done fine with having Pidgeots line in Unova instead, but Unova, as a region, would lose that little bit of personality. A personality Kalos lacks a lot of precisely because of that lack of new Pokemon. And I think Kalos is much worse off for it. I don't think there's any need at all to slow down the amount of new Pokemon per generation either. I don't see any downside to the overall roster getting too large "too quickly."
