.....as far as I know, No. 8 Heraldic King Genome Heriter has always been mentioned as an "Arceus clone" lol

Yeah.....that's the problem D: Any possible suggestions if you have some buddy?

Sawsbuck Autumn Form is the closest I can think of.

Question if I capture one, or if one evolves in a season, does it change along the seasons or is "stuck" in one model?

Sawsbuck and Deerling forms aren't fixed, unlike Wormadam's formes. A Spring Deerling that evolves into a Sawsbuck can turn into a Summer Sawsbuck if it becomes summer.

I see, thanks.

[Wishing Star]

I see, thanks.

Yeah, no problem.

Now that I think about it, the professors are jerks for not giving the player a fully-geared Pokédex. As in, other people in the game shouldn't have to walk up to the player and give them upgrades (such as size comparison or forme details).

The availability of Water types is very disappointing. There are few that can be obtained early in the game, and the majority are relegated to post-Gym 6 (I think).

I really don't know which Water type I'll use, and I've never had that problem before.

Yeah, Unova is not known for there Water types. However..
I'm mad about not getting ralts in the new Pokedex

[BGMaxie]

I'm mad about Staryu being a late one. Hell now I'll have to replace it with Golduck -_-

[Zhanton]

Yeah I know what you mean; I'm stuck choosing between Golduck and waiting until after the 6th gym to get Seel, Staryu or Remoraid.

[Nibbles4Ever]

I'm getting vaporeon but it's unfortunate that it will miss out on aurora beam and I have to wait until the 5th gym to evolve it >.>

[GoldCyndaquil]

Guys, you know there's also trading right? You could trade over staryus, seels, remoraids, water stones, etc. to get what you want. You also could just get a psyduck or azurill and train it until you can get one of them. Simple as that.

There's always the Dream Radar IF you have a 3DS...

You can either find a Water Stone in dust clouds in the Relic Passage or just buy one from the PWT for 3BP.

Given that you have to beat it once to progress in the story, surely it's not too hard to beat it twice more?

Or the Pokémon distribution could have been handled with more thought.

I prefer not trading for team members, especially during my first playthrough.

[Master of Fire]

i like the selection of pokemon in the pokedex...as for water types Samurott is all you need in a water type

Well than that's you. There not gonna suit the game just to fit you're specific liking.

Ikr? They're making it so complicated when it's really not.

[Zhanton]

Uhm, jsyk not everyone has access to two DS systems to trade, and I'm pretty sure those who dislike trading Pokemon in their first run aren't in the minority.

But yeah I completely agree with The Eleventh in that the distribution of Water types was pretty poor. You get Surf after Clay, don't you? Having even just one of Staryu, Remoraid and friends available through surfing in a place accessible before Undella would've been nice.

The distribution in general was handled very poorly, but yeah, they could've at least put some more in Driftveil City and Virbank City/Complex.

That's a fault of the game if there aren't that many viable options at a reasonable point in the game, and a perfectly justified complaint. I mean, it's one thing with some of the more powerful Pokemon in the game like Metagross, but a lot of the ones restricted to late and post game aren't really powerful enough to warrant their position. Plus, many of the ones available only in post game aren't even seen on trainer rosters until then, making them pointless additions. It's especially infuriating that Pokemon like Tyranitar are put into this position since they were directly advertised to be part of the Unova Dex before we even knew what was in it. There's no way to justify the decisions they made in regard to Pokemon distribution in this game, there just isn't.
