What is it exactly that makes Johto objectively the best region and GSC and HGSS the best games in the series?
Was it the QoL fixes made for Gen 1? With every glitch repaired?
Was it how alive the world felt, with constant events like the Bug Catching Contest, phone calls, and the week siblings?
Was it the Giga Chad pokemon Johto introduced like Tyranitar and Scizor? Or perhaps the cuter bromons like Ampharos and Wooper?
Was it Silver? The best rival by far with a great development?
Was it Walking Pokemon, a beloved feature introduced with HGSS?
The humongous Kanto postgame, a whole other region to explore? How exciting it was to see how the place changed in those 2 years ingame?
The Red fight? God, what more is there to say about it? How absolutely kino it was to fight the Pokemon master, the hero of the previous game, at the toughest dungeon in the game, at the peak of it too in HGSS. Pokemon would never reach these heights again.
The sprites? The day/night cycle? The HGSS postgame? Pokeathlon?
Or maybe, it was because you could tell that the developers truly loved Pokemon, and wanted to go all out with these games, to put in as much effort as possible and craft truly amazing games.
Goddamn, I fucking LOVE Johto!
