You guys do realize literally every single game has tons of callbacks to Kanto?
Like all of them start in the small town with four houses that after a short route leads to a slightly bigger town where you get your Pokedex and then that leads to the obligatory early game forest where you have to find the worm Pokemon with a useless middle evolution and a final evolution that falls off midway through the game.
Halfway through you'll probably come across a cave that's the biggest dungeon in the game, you'll have to get through a big maze facility that's the evil team's hideout.
Also maybe go through a Pokemon cemetery that's also a tower/mountain.
It's always the fucking same and it's always been this way, shut the fuck up.
