Because the game wants you to feel like getting a Milotis is a reward and something special. If they just handed Feebas out, then they would lose meaning and Milotis would become no big deal. Would you rather think; "Meh, it's just a Milotis." or "OMG, A MILOTIS."
I still remember taking my time in Platinum just to find a male and female Feebas |D
...Am I seriously watching that CN movie about a WoW parody coming to life. Though I gotta admit, I'm even more amazed that it's used the Leroy Jenkins meme twice already.
44. Getting a Latias/Latios in Ruby/Sapphire is a reward, Milotic however was a royal pain that wasn't worth the trouble it took to actually catch its pre-evolution much less maxing out its beauty stat. At least that problem was rectified in Platinum. The Regis in Ruby/Sapphire however were surprisingly good, thank god I had Regice on my team to counter my friend's Salamence and Rayquaza back when we battled.
That and I was one of the few people who had guys like Alakazam and Machamp back then too strangely enough.
48. Both are pretty good to use but I'd have to choose Alakazam due to faster speed and the fact that it hits so freaking hard too. But if you don't have anyone to trade with then Espeon isn't too bad either.
