>>45723900>hometown doesn't become irrelevant after starting the journey>first route is long, has a bit of exploration and connects to a later route>Cherrygrove is boring, yeah, the tutorial town>next route has forks and a cave with rare pokémon that connects to another place>Violet City has Sprout Tower, Falkner and 3 exits>Ruins of Alph, 'nuff said>weird tree blocking the way>next route is massive and ends in a cave that has a side quest for later and exits to the next route>Azalea has Slowpoke Well, Kurt, Bugsy and Ilex Forest>Route 34 has the most infamous hidden area and the daycare center>Goldenrod... home>next route has good pokémon and a shortcut to the next route if you want skip>The National Park (admittedly, it's a bit underwhelming)>next is the weird tree event and you can go back to any place before Azalea or>the next route where you can easily catch the legendary beasts after the events on>ECRUTEAK CITY>then you can CHOOSE Mt. Mortar and Mahogany town or The Farm and Olivine City, either lets you see interesting places, meet interesting people, do interesting things>after all that is done there the Ice Path>Blackthorn City is either good or bad>go back to New Bark Town through any alternate way for your first step into KANTOOOOOOOOI mostly skipped events and people, even some of the most memorable, yet I think the point stands. Johto's only problem is being too short.
