Uhhhh... very good question!Minor question about this line: are you excluding Milotic from the Gen 5 count because it evolves by trade now? Because you can fish it up in rippling water on Route 1 (it's actually the first Pokemon I encountered with the Super Rod in White lol).
I might just be misinterpreting you though! Disregard if so
I can't remember - this was so long ago I'd have to do a recount. That certainly sounds like I'd overlooked it also being catchable in the wild, but I'm genuinely unsure.
I'm currently in the process of compiling a document that will log every available Pokemon in each game, and will have a definitive number for each, taking into account factors such as evolution stone shortages. Be a while before I'm done with it though.
