>>54467222>What about the theme of tradition from the Johto games, that plays directly into their origin? Should we just disregard that and completely forgo looking deeper into their design background and act like they're supposed to be cool just for the sake of it, even with the already existing overabundance of shallow legendary trios that are "cool", just because they need to?This argument shouldn't be relevant, but because pop culture revolves so much around megafranchises these days, consider this:
You don't have to autistically catalogue canon. You can just accept a story for what it is, apart from any particular sequel. All the faggots who say George Lucas ruined their childhood with the prequels, or Disney with the sequels, should have been around when the sequel to TESB turned out to be a mega piece of shit.
