Why wasn't there any johto characters in alola but just a few references? I mean, we got Red and Blue from kanto, Wally from hoenn, Cynthia from sinnoh, Colress Grimsley from Unova, and Dexio and Sina from Kalos, heck, we even got a SPIN-OFF cameo which is Burnet
So did they forget about this gen or something

Saying Johto is saying Kanto. The region itself has no identity on its own. Red is the most secobd gen rep you could get.

Johto is a ton more rural than Kanto. Outside Goldenrod, a city with direct ties to Kanto due to the Magnet Train promoting back-and-forth visitation, there are no urban centers. The majority of cities are small and cozy, and the terrain around them is often hazardous (Azalea is between a forest and cave, Mahogany is between two caves, Cianwood is surrounded by water and mountain, Blackthorn is at the top of a mountain with no easy way to get there other than flight). You just have to look at Route 29 and how windy and relatively long it is, and compare it to the first routes of any other region, to get an idea of how it differs from most regions.

Sinnoh is probably the closest to Johto in that regard because of how mountainous it is, but it still has more large cities than Johto between Jubilife, Hearthome, and to a lesser extent Veilstone.

Johto is to the west of Kanto. It's to the south of Sinnoh according to the Sinjoh ruins.

Lance is Kanto too, although he's pretty unmemorable in Gen 1. Silver appearing would've been nice though.

To be fair, as much as I like generation 2, the best part of those games was revisiting Kanto, Johto is kinda forgettable, it doesn't even have its own Elite 4.

Johto being the backwoods neighbor of Kanto is literally its only identity.

That's only in the anime.

>kanto and johto share a league
I have no proof of this but I don't think this was planned until the last second when they added Kanto, because of how the routes leading up to the League are completely different in layout compared to Gen 1.

1: Red is final boss of Gen 2.

2: Jhoto is a backwater that dosen't even have it's own pokemon leauge or champion

3: Jhoto is worst region since it's basically half-baked due to Kanto being tacked on.
