There was an early Zangoose you say? All I remember was having an amazing Ursaring and average Vaporeon backed up by the jobber squadron. Truthfully I could have made some better choices in my team, most of them just sort of happened.
Actually I might have managed to go through twice because I remember having a better four pokemon team that made the game easier to deal with since the exp split was more manageable, I think that one involved Mawile, Mightyena and Ninetails, Mawile earned my respect on that run. But yeah I stand by it being not so fun to replay, especially with knowledge that some of the best from the original 150 are in the game but denied from you until the final few hours (or even the final battle).
Yeah, I remember having a Zangoose before one of the first major dungeon areas. XD was one of my favorite games, but damn it's been a good few years since I've bothered with it.
