This was so disappointing. I found this in a rom hack praising the diversity of pokemon in this game. The entire thing is about how pokemon are migrating to this area. Theres less diversity in this game than the original fire red or emerald...
I kept waiting for the diversity and chance to get new pokemon other than freakin pidgy, sunkren, geodude and rattata ...now im 5 badges in with only 2 pokemon that are solid levels. There was hardly any diversity (unless u count alolan rattata or alolan geodude being the diversity from the bland constant appearance of rattata and geodude) oh but dont worry theres a chance to surf where u come across magicarp and fineon! And if ur lucky a random horsea! WOO the crazy amount of pokemon. Wasnt even suprised when the egg hatched a riolu.. That was CRAZY ive never had a chance to raise one of those... Wait..
