>>44631982>Paths are railroaded as well. No freedom like with GSC/HGSS or FRLG/RBY.Route flavor and design takes precedent over "muh linearity".
>No post game other than battle frontier, no new locations open except very small tunnel to catch sudowoodo.Just pretend gym rematches don't exist I guess.
>Team aqua is a joke. Magma is better just cause they aren't as boring to stomp.Literally the best teams with the most defined goals that aren't generic "I'm gonna take your pokemon", "I'm gonna take over the world but my plans are very vague in general" like in literally every other game.
Everything else you mentioned is subjective personal experience nothingness.
It's actually laughable that you give Johto such high praise when it has OBJECTIVELY the least amount of content with pokemon in embarrassingly low numbers (inexcusable when you consider their designs as a factor) and has OBJECTIVELY the easiest set of games in the series with piss easy gym leaders and dogshit level curve. Also it legitimately has to rely on the old Kanto crutch. Pathetic. Truly a testament to what dogbrains Johtards are.
