>>46769105>Level curve is shitIt only gets a bit messy by the time the game opens up and in the post game. I'll take the freedom and you can be a boring fuck who takes the intended route. You framed it as if their were no gains, when at worse you end up making a pokemon game a bit easy.
>Johto pokemon distribution is laughably badSure but unlike Sinnoh you can still make a variety of good teams through the game. The idea you have to search for new mons was neat and it isn't like they are all incredibly hard to find.
>Johto leaders using KANTOOOOOmonsCause Johto is meant to be Kanto 2, outside some dumb cases like 2 haunters that is simply appropriate for the region. Zoomers often spout arguments they don't get, Kanto mons are not inherently bad. The problem is much more detached region giving them all the special new gimmicks. Johto is an expansion of the region yet still does things to have its own personality,
>Kanto is even more boring than usual>West Kanto aka Johto is dull and smallStill has more shit to do than whatever zoomer trash you're pushing
>>46769280Oh no you may have to...grind in an RPG? You're exaggerating but I don't mind that in this monster raising game I may have to put some effort into raising my monsters. I have so much less attachment to my teams in modern games cause any new mon sits in the back getting stronger till it is needed.
