Quote:This is opposed to earlier gens where you could find the potential in almost any pokemon from start to end; Raticate, Tentacruel, Golbat, Onix, who cares. Instead I found my favorite 5th Gen Poke, Ben the Turtle (Carracosta) to be horrifyingly slow and weak in all regards once he hit about 60.
This is because the early gens had a rather small number of mons so they were
somewhat balanced in power.
However, with the 600+ we have now, it's pretty easy to find a mon that completely overruns another in every single aspect.
And btw, Carracosta is a bulky water. It's not supposed to have decent speed.
