>>58590466Johto and Sinnoh fans have a closer kinship, especially with the consistent cross-references between each other. It's hilarious because Hoenn and Kanto are complete fucking opposites despite also having this relationship. Unova is their third wheel baby brother, you like it or you don't, but it's only considered "peak Pokemon" in that it's on the same console as Gen IV, the game that revived a larger interest in the franchise after the GBA snuffed part of it
If Hoenn didn't rape Kalos, they probably could've had something special but instead we get unfinished games that were used to prop up Hoenn. Sad, parasitic relationship
