>>43694477>johto landmarksthe only places that could even count are the ruins of alph, mt. mortar, lake of rage and maybe union cave (it only serves as a shortcut, but fly exists). sprout tower is short but i can excuse it since it's at the start of the game but the other landmarks have next to nothing
>johto is a sequelmost sequels try to add in new features, johto barely adds anything other than a special attack stat and held items, not to mention that kanto feels shoehorned in and is extremely empty as a result
>level curvethe level curve is the worst flaw in the game, you spend the entire game fighting trainers that are weaker than you. there is literally no challenge other than lance's mary sue team of 3 dragonites with coverage. nonlinearity doesn't mean anything if the game is a joke
>pokégearthere is no reason to add npcs to your pokégear aside from a select few, since most of them will either give you useless facts, mediocre items, or challenge you to a rematch (imagine flying to another route just to fight a trainer with 20 less levels than you)
>there are like 6 new fully evolved Pokemon you can't obtain until Kanto.see pic related
>You can use Umbreon, Magneton, Scizor, Steelix, Forretress and Skarmory just well.umbreon sucks, magneton is alright, scizor and steelix are trade exclusives, forretress is alright, and skarmory is nearly at the end of johto. fucking ghost and dragon types are easier to get than these types.
>There is nothing wrong with this, or having hidden/hard to find Pokemon in generalnatu and smeargle are a good way to do it, but shit like tyrogue that requires you to go through an entire dungeon just to get an underleveled shitmon (you need an empty party slot or the guy won't give it to you btw) is just awful
also i fucked up with skarmory, got it confused with larvitar/sneasel my bad
