It will only get worse from here on out. I can't believe X and Y's blatant Gen 1 pandering pales in comparison to Sun and Moon's.

There is no Kanto pandering. Just a couple of neat references to old games.

The only problem is that there are people with a massive victim complex when it comes to that.

It'll never stop, because GameFreak believes that Pandering = Sales after how poorly Gen 5 did, and then the complete rebound in sales from Gen 6.
So naturally, they up it even more for Gen 7 AND generate hype with a constant flow of trailers (that end up showing pretty much the entire game) and they print even more money than ever.
Expect the next game and/or gen to be in similar fashion.

How can you not see it?

And they are right doing that, specially because the quality of the pokemon franchise actually rised up. Generation 5 gave us a lot of pokemon and just few of them are actually intriguing (and i'm not talking competitively rather than more appealing to see and fun to use). They understood the fact that pandering on old generations is better then create something completely new avoiding the rest.

Btw in gen 5: what a great marketing strategy putting Pikachu as a Pokèmon unable to obtain without trading.

But never mind all the references to other games, right? Burnet, Colress and Grimsley totally aren't in Sun and Moon. And the NPCs in Kalos that play music from Sinnoh and Unova aren't pandering, no siree.

There are plenty more of these things but I guess you never noticed them in the midst of your rabid anti-Kanto crusade. All I see is confirmation bias and a rock solid hate boner on your part.

When Kanto stops being more popular than every other region by a landslide which will never happen because Tokyo happens to be located in Kanto, Japan

well, this explains why they chose kanto to be first generation.

Gimme a break, the Kanto shit overshadows other gen stuff way more. The things you mentioned are much more minir in comparison to what I listed so your point is invalid. Next you'll say they should have them include a ferry to Vermillion in Pokemon Stars.

Not until every fully evolved Pokemon of the original 150 has at least 3 new evolutions/forms.

How exactly do we even know if Kanto is the most popular region? I hope you aren't using sales from years and years ago to conclude that Kanto is currently the most liked. Kanto is bland as fuck.

Gen 6, surprisingly didn't have any Kanto trainer but the pandering came in form of Mega Evolution.

Technically it did. The Karate King is a background NPC in Lumiose.

Tbh I don't mind the gen 1 "pandering" if it's just going to essentially buffs/new niches to Pokemon that couldn't keep up or have gotten outclassed.

It will probably slow down for a while after the movie comes out. Last year we had the game's 20th anniversary and now it's the anime's 20th. In five years there likely will be some other anniversary event.
