>>47679180Yes, Kanto and Johto are suppossed to be treated as two parts of a whole thing, like peanut butter and jelly - both are fine separately but shine only if you put them next to each other.
It's especially visible in subtle environmental themes - Kanto is highly industrialized, urbanized and kinda corrupted region basically run by Team Rocket and their legendaries either being pushed into being forgotten or directly involved with the corruption and industrialization.
Johto on the other hand is natural, humble and very traditional, seemingly resisting both technological and criminal advances and with their legendaries being strong part of culture and beliefs.
Kanto and Johto are damn cool when you look at them like that. No other two regions are so connected yet so different, almost like mirror reflections.
