On every game

Pokemon the 5th Generation is a game in which, No Pokemon from the previous generations can be found (Except that one place). However i feel like if they were going off the true nature of Pokemon being exactly like animals... that there are SOME Pokemon that would just natrually appear everywhere.

What are some pokemon you think should be able to show up in any region?

Here are some:
-Zubat/Koromori (in caves)
-Geodude/Dangoro (in caves and mountains)
-Magikarp (in bodies of water)
-Pikachu (it's the mascot, so it should be in routes near cities)
-Tentacool/Burunkenu (in the sea)
-Machop (in caves and urban areas)
-Abra (same as above)
-Feebas (in those impossible-to-reach lakes)
-Krabby (near beaches)

Rattata, Pikachu, Minun/Plusle, and to a lesser extent, Pachirisu.

I mean, come on, rodents DO get everywhere. Also some bug pokemon, as there are estimated to be god knows how many more species of insect yet to be discovered.

Ugh. I think the idea of realistic ecosystems falls under the category of things that will never have anything to do with Pokemon.

But yes, the Pokemon that have been mentioned have in fact been in most of the Pokemon games.

...

Really? There aren't any pre-5th gen Pokemon in B&W, prior to national dex?

Each to his own xD

I'm rather fond of the idea....as it disuades me from just trading pokemon from my other games when they'll have a ??? instead of 'dex number.

It also adds a bit more fun to it.

zubat and geodude have always been in the regional dex

Freaking Kricketunes! Aggh! I hate their sound! ):

I'm actually tired of seeing Abra in every dang game. Relief from Zubat, Tentacool, and Rodspam Magikarp is wonderful. Plus, new game, new rules (finally).

Now that I think about it, it's actually not that unrealistic. At least not if you ignore the fact of cross-contamination of ecosystems by humans. Even birds are usually limited by oceans and/or climate differences due to changes in latitude. If you assume Isshu is truly separate from the other regions it makes some sense.

Of course, there are many many more variations on any given creature in the real world. For instance, roaches and ants are everywhere. They might be slightly different from one another but they're still there. Realistically speaking, there would probably be noticeable differences between the Zubat from Kanto/Johto and the Zubat from Sinnoh or Hoenn. Coloration, markings, slightly different proportion, etc. Basically like East and West Gastrodon, but less pronounced.

This guy has it right. There should at least a few pre-gen 5 Pokemon in Isshu. You're telling me after all that time no one decided to introduce at least one Pokemon from "Japan"? That would make things pretty interesting. They could make one native Isshu Pokemon rare, and have something like Staraptor or Zangoose being the cause for its rarity.

They're all on a ship and are waiting for you to get your National Dex before they get off.

Pikachu,Zubat,Tentacool and Rodspam Magikarp all wonderful,I think

Pikachu, Machop, Abra, Magikarp/ Feebas, Zubat/ Koromori, and Geodude/ Dangoro, Rattata/ Bidoof/ Minezumi. And these are just a few.
