You see Kanto is a region I think should be treated with some respect for being the main root that dug itself into ground allowing the other game to exist, but GameFreak have completely lost sight of it and use it as more of a selling point, Kanto pandering done wrong in games like SM where they never seem to shut about them being close, and you never get to really see anything of Kanto in SM not even anything cool like going to the sevi islands from the remakes, or using an ultra wormhole to fast travel to Kanto, so it just becomes a stale reference, unlike Kirby who always gives you stage for beating it 100% and seeing the original greengreens as the reward and has become tradition for every kirby game, like flying up to the moon, it's common but charming, Kirby nevers says, wow Remember the first game wasn't that cool? why don't we talk about the OG GrrenGreens and nothing else, what? you want to see it? Nah that's retarded let's just only talk about it, forever.
Kanto pandering done best was in B2W2 where you could battle every gym leader from every game with fully fleshed out teams for beating the game.
I could make an essay on how it was done wrong and right, but I won't hold your time any longer.
