"[Discussion] Anyone Else Think That Some of the Gen 2 Rarities Don't Make Sense?"

#PokemonGO: For most of the game, I have agreed with the consistency with the game's spawn rates and catch rates reflecting those of the GB titles. I especially like little touches, like how Abra isn't nevessarily common, but also runs from the first ball. Way to stick to the canon material, A+. However, I get the feeling that some of the Gen 2 pokémon spawn rates just don't make sense: Natu: Back in the day of Gold/Silver version, there was only a single patch of grass in the entire game where these could be found. Natu/Zatu were seen as somewhat rare, and frankly, I think their current spawn rate devalues them (they are like the new Spearow).Dunsparce: If Niantic was trying to stick with the core series, they failed miserably with this one. Dunsparce could only be found in a single cave, and a player could circle around for days without seeing a single one. Now, it appears they spawn quite frequently in nests in PoGo. For a pokémon that even has the word "sparse" in its name, I'm a little surprised by how common it is.Unown: As interesting as it is that the Unown are the rarest in the game, and they are almost like anomalies, there just is no reason for it to be a 1/16,000,000 spawn chance - especially if there are 26 (eventually 28) varieties. Based on the actual game series, Unown seems like more of a nest pokémon than, say, Dunsparce. Personally, my favorite Gen 2 pokémon was Xatu, and now it is extremely undervalued due to how common Natu is. The ones I listed are just the ones I could come up with off the too of my head. Anyone else a little put off by how common/rare certain things are? via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2n79ldH
