>>50380261>It is extremely lame that a lot of the "cool" gen 2 mons are locked behind the post game.6 LINES. 6 FUCKING LINES ARE LOCKED TO THE POSTGAME. TWO OF WHICH ARE EVOLUTIONS OF KANTOMONS. THAT LEAVES YOU 42 NEW LINES OF JOHTOMONS TO PLAY WITH, AS WELL AS A SHIT TON OF KANTO POKEMON, MANY OF WHICH WERE LATE GAME OR SAFARI ZONE EXCLUSIVE IN RBY.
>but i dont want to play with kanto pok-YOU ARE AUTISTIC.
>but the rest of the johto pokemon are shitm-NO THEY AREN'T. JUST BECAUSE THEY AREN'T OU STAPLES ALL WITH FT/TB/IB COVERAGE THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T USE THEM IN-GAME. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU OBSESSED ABOUT COMPETITIVE VIABILITY IN SINGLEPLAYER ANYWAY? DID YOU KNOW JOHTO HAS A HIGHER AVERAGE THAN HOENN? AND IS AROUND ON PAR WITH THE FIRST 3 GENS? OF COURSE YOU DID, BUT YOU DON'T CARE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO KEEP BLINDLY PUSHING YOUR JOHTO LE BAD NARRATIVE.
>theyre too hard to g-NO THEY AREN'T. THE LOWEST HEADBUTT ENCOUNTER RATE IS 10%, AND THAT'S ONLY ON SOME TREES. FISHING IS SUPER EASY IN GEN 2 AS ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS SPAM A, AND THE GOOD ROD (OBTAINABLE AFTER WHITNEY) NETS YOU GUARANTEED LEVEL 20S, PERFECTLY LEVELLED FOR MORTY AND THE NEW ROUTES. EVERY GAME HAS RARE ENCOUNTERS. WELL, YOU KNEW THAT, BUT IT'S ONLY BAD WHEN JOHTO DOES IT.
>they are too late in the g-AFTER WHITNEY, YOU HAVE MOST OF THE REGION UNLOCKED. YOU CAN GO ALL THE WAY LEFT FROM ECRUTEAK UP TO ROUTE 40, AND ALL THE WAY RIGHT UP TO THE LAKE OF RAGE. AFTER YOU BEAT MORTY, YOU ARE ABLE TO USE SURF WHICH UNLOCKS THE REMAINING 10% OF THE REGION. THE ONLY AREAS LOCKED AT THIS POINT IN THE GAME ARE:
>WATERFALL/WHIRPOOL EXCLUSIVE LOCATIONS (MT. MORTAR, WHIRL ISLANDS)>ROUTE 44>ICE PATH>BLACKTHORN>DRAGON'S DEN>ROUTE 45THAT'S IT. LITERALLY MOST OF THE ENCOUNTERS ARE UNLOCKED AFTER WHITNEY OR MORTY, AND THE REST YOU CAN GET BEFORE THE 8TH BADGE EXCEPT WATERFALL-LOCKED ENCOUNTERS. AND REMEMBER YOU ALSO HAVE ANOTHER ENTIRE FUCKING REGION TO GO THROUGH WITH ANOTHER SET OF BADGES.
