>>43267031>>less new pokémon even though it's a sequelUh....no shit? Of course a sequel doesn't need to add as much as something that has to establish the series in the first place.
>>many of them are offshoots of gen 1 pokémon, like all baby pokémon, new evolutions, a less interesting legendary trio, etcAnd?
>>the new ones are typically shit, so bad that the johto gym leaders usually just use gen 1 monsAnything is usable in-game.
>>all HMs had to be retained to let you move through KANTOOOOOOAnd? You need those HMs for new regions as well.
>>massive tile reuse means johto looks identical to KANTOOOOOO 99% of the timeSo....the game looks consistent? How is this a bad thing again?
>>game only opens up when you leave johtoNot true. It opens up after beating the third gym.
>>final boss and secret boss are characters from gen 1And?
These are such retarded non-complaints, it's like playing Super Mario World and then complaining that Mario and Bowser are still in the game as main characters.
