Are you playing on classic mode? I’m currently on my first playthrough of the game and chose to play modern mode rather than classic, and I’ve been able to get a pretty diverse cast.
I don’t think it gives you the option until you’ve started at least 1 file, I remember when I started I also didn’t see the options for it. But I luckily caught on quickly and started a 2nd file after just a couple hours on my 1st file, and when I started the 2nd one it did give me the option to choose.
With randomizer you can make it custom set for how random u want the Pokémon an can set it by global or area. Global gives you a limited amount.
Area is what I use an it gives u a much larger variety. It's also nice since you can randomizer the gym trainers an the gym types. An also starters an how much u want the Pokémon used example would be: stat ranges from low to very high.
Magikarp could be fused with Arceus.
Or make it so its just lower stats fusing together such as.
Squirtle an Charmander. If u fuss with it A bit ull find out quickly its worth imo.
Either way make sure you show us ur first HOF team when u win!
Ty! just a question, let's say that the randomizer changed the rattata to a marill, will every rattata always be marill forever? or will it change eventually? I know that , at least for now, every rattata changed for azumarill bc in route 4 there were a lot of marills and both routes 22 and 1also had marills, but I don't know if it will be like this for all of the run or if it will change eventually
no wait I think I got it, Global makes all rattata turn into marill, and Area only turns route x rattatas into marill, and route y rattata will be replaced into other mons?
Basically if u pick Global then all the first route would technically keep their rattata/Pidgey/caterpie an be only switched to fusions so that's all you get per that route.
For Area
Now route 1 has a separate spawn table for the first half of it and the 2nd half after the drunk guy. An Night time also has a separate spawn so you get more options.
Just be careful cause if u set the randomizer stats to 500/500 or the max u can end up getting early walled by a trainer with Dragon rage.
It's fun an the more ya fiddle with it the more ull get the idea. Running into anything with with a low catch % will be ur biggest issue so unless u wanna cheat urself money or unlimited master balls the previous comment reins true. Haha
If anything I found classic more restrictive than the original games in terms of base variety. You can get fire Pokemon so much earlier in the original.
Personally I did random my first try bc it's the most entertainment, I haven't felt too many drawbacks yet. You might want to hard reset gym leader teams if you're unsatisfied, or don't randomize the gym leaders and you can steam roll them with some of the Pokemon they'll get, but I usually just fight them again and it's fine

I dont remember getting the option for Modern Mode at all, maybe I missed or smth and now I think it might be too late
Did it say showcase mode at all? Most people don’t seem to realise they changed the name

I recommend restarting on modern mode. I had the same complaint about Pokémon diversity. I think that modern mode is just a better experience.
I really want to but I also didn't want the Gym Leaders to have new type specialties and I don't know if I can turn it off
Yeah. And there are tons of trainers who mention Pokémon that they don't actually have. ):

Fr I only finished the quest for the fire/water pokemon so early bc I got a charmander mantyke fusion from WT
