Crystal is the worst selling 3rd version and is when it stopped being cool to loke Pokemon. Poor R/S had to come in and damage control that mess.
Most of the designs are either it just gets bigger bland mons, or :) happy cutesie beanie baby looking mons.
The region itself is devoid of literally anything interesting outside of the ruins of alph. There’s things like Mt Mortar and Dark cave that could have been interesting but had nothing there and no real point to going there unless you wanted a tyrogue you could easily breed on your own. Johto is just Kanto’s expansion pack.
So yeah. Johtoddlers are just hipster genwunners. If you like this shitheap you should probably kill yourself for the good of the franchise.
