I agree that we could use a "Magikarp" kind of useless-1rst, OP-2nd line in this or next episode (well, a "Magikarp" that doesn't evolve at 20, but also not toooo late, like a "Larvesta") (I hate Larvesta). It would be interesting for something like that to appear in the next episode, though, where there's going to be more of a variety. 11 species is fine right now. In Gen1 terms we haven't even entered Mt. Moon, in Gen2 terms we've not started going south to Azalea. Not a great variety of stuff to be found. (Allthough gen2 had the Sprout Tower <3 and the small cave, so there was something more)
I think some random NPCs have dropped stuff that we'll get to see as subtle hints in the light of future updates. Some little, carefully selected and innocent looking stuff, but I think that super-tiny hints have been dropped.
Also, Bunnerd for me needs its Normal typing. Not ready to put it in the same class as Mankey, Pancham and other animal-like Fighting types. Too mammallian, too nerdy, and most of all too peaceful to be considered a pure Fighter.
So yeah, "Magikarp" for E2 please
