The references in gen5 were subtle and they integrated seamlessly with the gameworld, so it was fine.
With gen6+ they went overboard and shoved kanto right in your face every 15 minutes, and most of it didn't have any purpose other than as pandering to the kantoniggers.

At least it can stand on it's own, and even then compared to the shit XY/SM it's fucking subtle.

All of the unova references are either in the background or mentioned in passing.
Meanwhile after the 1st gym they give you a unnecessary KANTOOOOO starter and they have fucking megas, while the kalos starters don't have them and get upstaged as a result. Also for some reason charizard gets 2 megas.

Seriously, grow a brain.

There's a CLEAR FUCKING DIFFERENCE. Most people probably don't even realize those references are in the game. Obviously you're retarded.

That's why in bw2 they let you catch popular mons from previous gens so early

B/W did the whole soft reset thing. Why wouldn't BW2 broaden the available pokes? Remember, BW2 were actual sequels and not third versions. They were intended to be played by people that had already played BW or were at least familiar with it, unlike third versions like Emerald, Crystal, and Yellow that are just Enhanced Editions but contain all the same base content.

Well, yeah. Turns out soft rebooting the dex with mons that really break the design philosophy of the franchise doesn't go over well.
Either way the point still stands that the expanded Gen V dex wasn't put into place to shill KANTOOOOO like Gens 6, 7 and 8.

There is a difference between a reference and pandering.

>I’m from Kanto originally
>I caught my Psyduck on vacation in kanto
>Pidgeys came to Kalos from Kanto
Those are references

>First Pokémon is always pidgey just like Kanto
>Take these Kanto starters
>Wow snorlax blocking the road just like Kanto
>Kanto starters get megas
That is pandering

You've got it the other way around, retard.
If they need to go out of their way to namedrop Kanto then it's pandering. There's a reason it didn't feel intrusive in XY but did in SM.

they did that because fuckers of the same breed as the lowlives on this board were crying that there WASN'T ENOUGH Kanto, thank them for shitting on Unova for trying to be different, now we got seven Kantos and a Unova that everyone hates.

listen imbecile
if it affects the fucking gameplay it's pandering
a random npc calling a bridge a nickname literally has no functional difference on you and your journey. yes it's unnecessary
but you know what else is? giving priority to charizard for gigantamax, making him that ride pokemon, multiple megas in x and y, a whole boat ride dedicated to him in sinnoh

Unova didn't pander. That was my whole point fuckwit. Tell me where Unova went out of its way to shove KANTOOO in your face? Literally nowhere.
