>>47545804>very little pokemon diversityyou have 100 new pokemon, including cross-gen evos that you only became aware of through hearsay on the playground (unless you were a rich brat who bought a strategy guide)
>has to wait on getting to kanto for evolution stonesyou can get a sun stone after the third gym. since none of the gen 2 mons use any of the stones introduced in gen 1, this is pushing you to either use the new pokemon or try different ones of the first 150 than you're used to using in-game
>awful level curve after pryceit used to be the entire game had a level curve, now it's "only after pryce." it's a nonsensical argument that assumes the pokegear doesn't exist but since this argument is constantly moving goalposts/on the retreat, eventually you fucks will shut up about it
>90% of the johtodex are useless shitmonsthis isn't unique to johto, and "useless" is a relative term anyways. i'd say comparably weaker pokemon make the game more of a challenge but fucks on the internet just pick the top-tier pokemon anyways so they had to invent autistic rulesets like "nuzlockes" instead of realizing the game already has in-built difficulty options - grind for a 1% encounter and the game is automatically more difficult for you if you decide to use a dunsparce in your main party
>>Can’t access a bunch of new pokemon until Kanto, and you can’t even get misdreavus until 16 FUCKING BADGESyou fuckers would whine that there was a lack of things to do after you beat the game if this wasn't the case
