The vast majority of Johto Pokémon are in Johto. And you know, if there were no new Pokémon in Kanto whatsoever, people would have complained about there being no incentive to look for wild Pokémon in the region. It's good that they hid a few extra ones to find in the last portion of the game.
>are so far off the beaten pathGood thing. Rewarding exploration with rare Pokémon is good game design. If you never feel curious enough about the depths of Union Cave to go find Natu and Lapras then that's your own fault.
