I will never cease to be disappointed with a new generation's release, it would seem. Despite how small Sinnoh is (earlier, I counted, at the most only 31 unevolved Pokémon that could possibly spawn in the wild, and we can now subtract the 3 regionals and the egg-exclusive Riolu, bringing that number down to 28 at the most), they decided to make things even smaller and less impressive by breaking things up into waves. Why? Just why? This makes no sense. Hopefully this is just the "preview" wave, and the next wave will do everything else.
And then there's the regionals. It's like Niantic just has a compulsive need to make as many things regional as possible, without ever once considering if it makes any sense. We have Pachirisu, a Pokémon which should be appearing world-wide, locked to a single country. But then, Niantic goes and makes things even more ridiculous, by making Carnevine a regional for a fourth of a country. I kid you not, it would seem that Carnevine only appears on the East Coast of the US, which, might I remind you, already has Tauros too. There was absolutely no need to cram yet another regional into such a small area. And then there's Chatot. Haven't seen where it spawns yet, but that's yet another regional to add to the already ridiculously long list. I never liked the concept of regionals from the beginning, but at least they were semi-manageable back in Gen I. Now it's just a mess. Here's to hoping that there are no more regionals from Sinnoh (besides maybe Shellos/Gastrodon). Who am I kidding, though? There will be more, and they'll probably be even more ridiculous.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still happy to see Gen IV released, and new Pokémon will always be exciting, but Niantic really has a knack for lessening that excitement.
EDIT: So, it would also seem that Luxio is hatching from eggs. This is, of course, a mistake, but it does possibly show that Shinx is meant to be egg-exclusive (which make zero sense). So say goodbye to yet another of 31 unevolved Pokémon who could possibly appear in the wild. We're down to 27 at the most now. Hopefully this Luxio thing is just an utter mistake, and not even Shinx was meant to appear in eggs.
