>>48146497>The post-gen 6 mainline games are not Pokémon, they are a Yokai Watch imitation that holds up the corpse of Pokémon, waving the corpse's arms from behind its back and saying "haha yep that's me, good ol' Pokémon".You're unironically right. There's no other explanation for why they feel the need to shoehorn Kanto by name all of a sudden.
Yeah, X and Y had a lot of Genwun references, but they only ever say the word Kanto once or twice and that's in an extremely niche side area you can't even access until the postgame. Everywhere you turn in Gen 7 and 8 it's KANTO KANTO KANTO even if it makes no fucking sense.
Pic related, why the fuck? Why not Unovans? You actually wait in a line in Black and White. There is no instance whatsoever in any of the Kanto games of WAITING IN LINES being a thing jesus christ.
