>>56549066Sevii Islands had Johtomons for the explicit purpose of actually getting them at all. They were a relatively lazy compromise of not just making Johto available in FRLG because Masuda didn't want to contradict the lore that much of Johto "not existing" for remakes of Gen I
Maybe if an actual director who knew what they were doing were working on FRLG we probably could've gotten a sneak peak of early Johto as post-game for FRLG instead of really sloppily put together routes where we got to see Mt. Silver, Rock-type trainer Jasmine evolving her Steelix for the first time or actually being able to evolve your fucking Happiness evolutions before the NatDex
But I guess Lorelei's home being on Four Island is neat. Shame none of the Islands actually have real names
