So, I imagine this thread is going to get a lot of replies, so I'm just going to ask it here: why is there so much discourse around Johto lately? I've seen the memes about the "conspiracy" with Joe Merrick and the gang, but everything I have heard about the region by fans and detractors alike has just been so vitriolic lately. Why are you all so angry about this region

discord trannies keep making threads about johto. People like johto for some weird reason. They respond with criticism and make their own threads with love for johto. Cycle continues until the next gen gets decided. This happened with Unova over the summer too

It basically all started with this video made by PChal. After that, the general opinion on GSC/HGSS drastically shifted from positive to negative almost instantly, and pic related shows that to be true.

There's so much nothing to talk about with BDSP that people are already moving on in the remake cycle to shit on Johto solely because it's next in line for a probable remake, moreover the likelihood of a Let's Go Johto.

You want the real reason? Johtotoddlers are subconsiously realizing that their childhood games are becoming irrelevant, outdated trash like gen 1 currently is. They had a nice run and did bring a lot of QoL improvements that the community takes for grant it, but that was over two decades ago. No one cares anymore. The only real edge it has over over generations is that it has a two region gimmick. This was cool two decades ago but now as the community has matured, they realized how barebones both regions are along with other flaws. Newer players simply don't care how good it USED to be because they were 2 years old at that time. Sounds familiar? This is how /vp/ treats genwunner games (Oh well it was okay for it's time, but it's too glitchy and isn't modern enough to be a serious option to call the best of anything). This isn't about us. It's about Johtotoddlers needing to be honest to themselves. Say to themselves "Yes the overworld used to look cool and impressive compared to gen 1, but there's better out there. No muh soul is not an argument".
It's best not to clown them too hard though. You don't clown him for no getting rid of his old, busted and rusty car from 1950. He'll just lecture you to death about how much he used to drive in his car, how "they don't make them like they used to" and how ungrateful this newer kids are. You just accept that he's a coping old geezer who can't let go of the past. Defending and cherishing this car/game is incredibly important to him as this is his way of rebelling against the evils of modern society. So just just let him have his moments. Let him tell you stories about how fun his childhood game was. It'll make him stop screeching autistically and you can move on to doing more productive things with your time.

How does this end? The same way it ended for genwunner when they were going through this phase. The Johtotoddler will finally have to accept that his time has ended and move on. Maybe find a new hobby and do something more productive himself. Eventually he'll realize that his time is up. For the grandpa this is usually when they die as they finally come to peace with their life and ready to let whatever happens happens as he trusts God's will for humanity. For the Johtoddler, it means finally leaving the franchise after decades of memories and embrace reality. Get a mortgage, find a wife and start working to become a normal member of society. He is no longer "Greg the Pokemon fan" as all his friends and family knew him. Just Greg the normal, humble man. Maybe he'll visit around to see the occasional hype season or nostalgic Pokemon Go-like fad, but never stay. He has transcended above us.

Just watched that video, he's not wrong. Maybe it's because I skipped gen 2 and went straight from gen 1 to gen 3 and thus have no nostalgia for it but I always thought Johto was the weakest region when I played Crystal and SS later down the line. I don't think people giving gen 2 shit is entirely because of that video, I still remember my friend calling it gen 1.5 over a decade ago and he wasn't wrong.

We've reached just enough distance from gen 4 that the most recent Johto nostalgia is fading. Increased discussion from LGPE and BDSP hapoening led to a lot of people looking at Johto for what was basically the first time and noticing its flaws, but the remaining fans who grew up with GSC or HGSS are desperate to defend it. It's much like genwunners years before them, but genwunners had more to go on with their pokemon and region being important as the first ones.

Honestly? Yeah.
Some of the older games absolutely had flaws, but they at least had heart put into them, albeit looking past some of them can be very difficult. That aside, it's very clear by playing games like Emerald and Platinum that they had a lot of passion, but were gimped by schedules, overall skill level (needing a third version to fit it all in), or simply by the hardware (internal battery.) You can admire them for the fact that GameFreak had ambition and chased it where they've long since stopped the further down the list of games you go. So, yea. Old games have SOUL.

Pretty much. Gotta meet a schedule, and that can mean cutting out a lot of the shit they wanted the first time around. Just look at X/Y; the arc with Team Flare was mutilated last second because they couldn't realize it in time. Never did Z version to flesh it out properly, so gen 6 remains the scape goat for a lot of genwarfags. X/Y also goes to show they didn't HAVE to chase a particular vision for their game in the form of a third version, because they didn't. DLC wasn't exactly a concept for GBA/DS or even 3DS games to a lesser extent, either, so a third version was a necessary evil to get all their dreams out there. That said, I'd much rather have Platinum 15 years later than D/P, as Platinum is a much better portrayal of Sinnoh, mechanically and aesthetically.

In other words, they tried to fully realize a good game despite their flaws and limitations. If that isn't SOUL, Anon, then I'm not too sure what to tell you.
