Why are there no fire pokemon anywhere in the new games? All I've got is a freakin' Ponyta because I refused to trade a kick ass Charmander for a flaming monkey... Or am I just not that far into the game? Seriously, at this point I'm basically hanging with all my first few town Pokemons, where as I remember back in the good ol days always trading up...

Also the whole 'trade for evolution' thing is BS. Just saying.
