>>6128276>You've just described literally every Pokemon generation and it's pretty sadBut Gen6 was the worst offender of them all.
1. Santalune Forest is a pixel by pixel exact rehash of Viridian Forest where you can catch early bugs + Pikachu.
2. They give out Kanto Starters and Mega Kanto starter stone right away
3. They rehashed Sabrina's teleporting gym gimmick, tile to tile EXACTLY on the gen 6 fairy gym teleporting gimmick
4. They rehashed rocked hideout moving tiles puzzle again on the pokeball factory
5. They rehashed the snorlax blocking the road progression block.
Mega Kanto starters took all the spotlight in Gen 6, plus Braixen phoxfags and Greninja. Gen 7 at least doesn't pander that hard, and the Alolan forms were given to kind of forgotten Kanto pokemons (including Raichu)
