I can see both sides of the argument here depending on the viewpoint.
>Johto is Kanto's DLC
Not much changed from Gen 1. 100 new Pokémon, 2 new types, a few new moves, and a different story in a different map. You can return to Kanto and experience a lot of the old stuff.
>Kanto is Johto's DLC
Johto is the main game and a separate entity. Kanto is accessible after beating the Elite 4, which is where Kanto ended. Much of Kanto has changed.
Fun to think about. But the fact is neither is true.
