Not all of those are season one but they are the earlier ones
I still wouldn't count any apart from maybe togepi
Mew two called the best pokemon trainers in the world and they used standard pokemon
They clearly just make mistakes with how they've structured introducing new pokemon all of them should be there from the beginning if they are to be common at the end
Red/blue/yellow is the ones
I still say 151>
Edit
Even there you can see most are shorts and movies
Excuses excuses, all I need is Togepi since he was an integral part of the story.
