>>45590094>implying these additions are even remotely similar to SMI'm feeling particularly autistic tonight so I'll go down this
>>45590025 list in order.
>old manTo give you the Running Shoes, which didn't exist in gen 2. Obviously those can't be optional like the map card was.
>teacherThis is optional, OP is a fag for sneaking this in here.
>Route 32Was in the original.
>BaobaTo guide you to the Safari Zone, which didn't exist in the original and is out of the way. Also lore.
>catching tutorialI agree this is shit.
>Violet gymA (weak) attempt at helping the level curve. Making Sprout Tower mandatory justifies Falkner's ace being 4 levels higher than the original.
>MagnusWorldbuilding.
>Lancehandholding.
>Kimono GirlsTo justify the birds being mandatory, which is admittedly kinda bullshit.
>old man censorshipShit.
>Jasmine's trainersIt was weird that she didn't have gym trainers in gen 2, but they didn't want to add new battles. It takes 10 seconds collectively to mash through their text so I don't care.
>Legendary stuffThis is shit.
In summary, OP is just fishing for (You)s and I've fallen for his ruse. Thanks for being here.
