But like Riolu is to Sinnoh, Togepi is a pretty special Pokemon in the games as the only way to get one is to be handed on by a NPC. And while Cynthia gives you one in Platinum, Togepi is more remembered for being given to the player in Gold, Silver, and Crystal due to their being some kind of "mini-quest/mission" relating to it with, once it hatches, you have to go back to Professor Elm and show him (and while you can do this at anytime, as long as you have to go travelling back a good distance (unless you ran around outside New Bark Town until it hatched, I'm considering it a mini-quest/mission). Ah, but Smathering Honey on a Tree is the successor of Headbutting Trees, which was originally the ONLY way to get Heracross in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. In addition, Smathering Honey on a Tree was originally going to be in Gold and Silver but was scrapped over the ability to attack trees to have Pokemon come out. Oh, but don't you see, they COULD have used a Pokemon from Generation I, III, or IV, but instead most of the Pokemon they used were Generation II. Being Dawn has two free slots in her party, I don't care what the 5th Pokemon she gets... AS LONG AS SHE GETS A CHERRIM! And because Paul is based off Silver he has a decent amount of Generation II Pokemon, however note that the Pokemon he used to beat Pikachu, the god-like electric mouse who can damage Ground-types and is the very face of Pokemon... gets beaten by Ursaring, a Generation II Pokemon. Poor Raikou and Jimmy, Marina got lucky to be up-graded to Master Coordinator and seen a few times in Sinnoh as cameos, but sadly it looks like even she got replaced by Soul! However, like you said, Piplup could have gone against Zapdos, but they animators and writers chose Raikou since it does need more air time AND because it was a Generation II Pokemon. Sure, none of the episodes had to do with anything about Gold and Silver (and thus HeartGold and SoulSilver) features and mechanics, but the main point of Pokemon is the Pokemon and there is WAY too many Generation II Pokemon running around just to be coincidence. |
For at most a minute we see that Jun remembers that he caught his first pokemon. Heracross with a DPPt exclusive mechanic that was originally going to be in GS, but wasn't, and didn't get into the remake. C'mon, how is using the Honey thing an ad to HGSS, and, he has a Heracross in Platinum, so yeah.
Well, Gen 1 and 2 featured their pokemon nicely, Gen 3 got some more Gen 1 pokemon than Gen 2, and Gen 4 in games has a rather large number of connections with Gen 2 already, and after all those years it's not entirely a wrong thing to feature more Gen 2.
Well, she probably won't, not this late, probably, unless maybe it's Cherrim's evolved form. And Johana having two cat pokemon looks nicer than one Khanghastan, which they obviously decided not it to give her. (unless she somehow is needed and uses it as her third PowerHouse pokemon)
Dude, Ursaring took down almost all of Ash's team, it used bulk up, his ability kicked in, all of Ash's pokemon were weak anyway, it was a slaughter house, cuz Ursaring wasn't used prior to it's massive boost, so the rest of his team wasn't really ready to do a final sweep like he did.
Oh yeah, i remember a bit, poor gold then. But, if she only got cameos and is supposed to be a Master Coordinator, how does Soul being featured in a Johto episode qualify as replacing her?
I can agree, but i also like to point out there Gen 3 didn't have that many gen 2 pokemon.
