    Recently been doing a practice run for my Let's Play, and come across something when covering the different Pokémon in each route.

    Gold/Silver and Crystal are SATURATED with Water types (pun intended). I think most generations/games have more common typing generally, but it's helped by Old Rod no longer being a Magikarp only item.

    Working it all out, the Water types available before reaching Azalea town are;

    Totodile (starter)
    Magikarp
    Wooper
    Tentacool
    Goldeen
    Poliwag
    Krabby (Old Rod, Cherrygrove, didn't know that, thank you Bulbapedia).

    I played Crystal a lot, in fact it's probably the one I played the most but I wasn't aware there were so many. Kind of takes the shine away from Totodile, my favourite in this generation. :(

    I blame the Old Rod! ;)
