>>43674354Honestly even if Johto didn't have the day/time cycle nor the days of the week, I would still like it. I really couldn't care less about the bug catching contest, I tried it once and that was about it, I'd rather just have a normal safari zone. I like Johto for its Japanese setting, the Pokémon designs and landmarks like the lighthouse and the Lake of Rage.
