'Well sorry, but why would I want to play with Bidoofs and Ratatas' <--- I'm unsure if this is to say everything you are finding early game amounts to the same value as these two pokemon, but it is a bit too generalised (if that makes sense) to simply say they are the only thing available, as there are PLENTY early game and I wouldn't write them off just because they aren't top tier god class pokemon which dominate competitive, now I can understand it is disappointing to not have some or many of the things we want the easy way or we don't like to have to work to overcome main story obstacles but it would very quickly become a repeating cycle of events with little to no effort or change and quickly become boring (at least that's how I see it, i'm not everyone). 'Right cause Articuno is so overpowered. he could never be taken down by a Charizard..or Blaziken...or Camerupt' <--- This isn't the best style of thinking to use when trying to argue against something not being available, although yes it has a clear point, type matchups exist and a pokemon can be beaten with the right type matchup, this doesn't mean the pokemon isn't too overpowered or too likely to draw attention away from alternatives that get no love, but everyone has their choice and their own style of play and I can understand Reborn isn't everyone's cup of tea, all I could suggest is to at least try experience things with variation. Again, not my decision if someone plays something and not everyone will like the same thing, for anyone reading this post in the same or similar boat as Kasseopea or if it's Kasseopea themselves, I can only say that I accept your opinion and choices but I would recommend experiencing things from another angle, see how it goes without legendaries or faveourites who knows you might enjoy it, you might not but the only way to find out would be by experiencing it but not saying you have to.
