>>44155180Using Kanto as a setting for the nth time because it will sell copies. Using Pokemon from Kanto as a marketing point for your game, or inserting iconic Kanto Pokemon (such as the starters and their evolutionary lines, legendary Pokemon, etc) into a game explicitly so that you can expose them to the new mechanic (as a point of interest). Adding Kanto characters to a game for nostalgia factor.
Examples:
>You get a Kanto starter with the matching Mega Stone in X and Y. Charizard and Mewtwo even get two mega forms each, something not afforded to any other Pokemon.>The Champion of Galar has a Charizard with the new mechanic. You can get one after you finish the game, and another starter if you bought the DLC.>The bonuses for pre-ordering or owning other games on switch were other Gigantimax Pokemon that were from Kanto.>The GO games on Switch took place in Kanto instead of being something original.>Red and Blue are in the post-game for Alola, and a lot of attention is drawn to them.>All of the regional variant Pokemon in Generation 7 were introduced in Kanto.>The three legendary birds from Kanto are going to be the first legendary Pokemon to have regional forms.What is not Kanto pandering:
>The inclusion of Kanto Gym Leaders/Elites/Champions in the PWT in Gen 5.
