>>48798207Johto being West Kanto IS its identity, and trying to pin this as a flaw makes no sense. It's clear you are just looking for flaws where there are none.
Johto is a smaller rural region stuck in the past, slowly allowing the modern world to seep in, with its own distinct culture that hasn't been matched to this day. This "lack of identity" argument is so baseless and straight up untrue it's actually funny. Not only that, but if it was true, it would be such a minor flaw that it wouldn't even be worth acknowledging, especially considering it applies more to other regions; Alola is just Hoenn 2.0, Galar is just Kanto 2.0 etc.
I LOVE how much Johto makes this fandom seethe. Keep it coming, proving you retards wrong every time never gets old.
