@hamano there is this weird phenomenon where everyone went from red -> gold or blue -> silver. And a lot of people went from Yellow -> Crystal.
I honestly don't remember what I did afterwards, because tbh, I didn't own a GBA at the time so sequels to Gold/Silver were emulated and I can't remember which route I chose. But was just partially messing with you because I find this pattern so funny
@hamano I assume a lot of it, in terms of the blue/red pattern, comes from the Pokemons that made the cover of those games. The blueish/redish was also established by the water/fire types that were making the cover of each game. I wouldn't be surprised if grass type starters were, overall, less picked. Not sure if this data exists though.
