>>38575544>If pokemania centered around Johto and Johto was pandered to it would make sense because it’s literally supposed to be the natural progression of events.I think misunderstood my post. I was talking about a theoretical timeline in which Kanto flat out doesn't exist. The first game is Johto and it is the game that kicks off Pokemania. Gamefreak continues Johto pandering for 20 years and never stops reminding people of it.
In this theoretical situation /vp/ would hate Johto call it the worst region, "all it's mons are shit," Johtooooo, ect. Same would happen if it was Sinnoh, Unova, or any other one.
The point of my post was that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with Kanto and that there is no reason to hate the region itself. Companies usually pander to the first entry in a series, Gamefreak is just an especially bad example.
