The Johto Region.>Genwunners salty that GSC overshadows Gen 1 in every way, hence the "Kanto in GSC is empty!" arguments, while deflecting from the fact that Kanto in RBY has even less to do than in GSC >Hoennbabs salty that GSC rode the waves and prolonged Pokémania, rather than killing it, hence the constant pointing out of Crystal's sales, while deflecting from the fact that Emerald sold basically the same amount (and GS selling over 25% more than RS on top of that) >Sinnohfetuses salty that GSC actually had good graphics for the hardware, despite GF having nearly 10 years of experience by then, hence the subtle jabs at the "outdated" Gen 2 graphics every now and then, while deflecting from Gen 4's god awful tilesets and attempt at pseudo-3D >Unovabortions salty that GSC actually added onto and further developed the series, rather than attempting to reset it, hence the "GSC relies too much on Kanto!" arguments, while deflecting from Gen 5's terrible writing and forced plot >Kalosperms salty that GSC introduced series staples such as breeding, shinies, sprite animations, the Battle Tower and DVs, hence the "All future games had those so they are not valid strengths of GSC!", while deflecting from the fact that by Gen 8, Megas, the PSS and Amie were nowhere to be seen >Alolasomes salty that GSC executed the joy-filled, feel-good Pokédex better, hence the "Johto's Dex sucks!" arguments, while deflecting from the fact that the Alola dex is all failed shillmons and Yokai Watch clones >Galarvae salty that a 20 year old GameBoy game has infinitely more content and longevity than a home console release in 2019, hence the constant need to criticize GSC's postgame, while deflecting from the fact that SwSh is hard carried by a DLC that only has one meaningful postgame facility

>>48072812 dude I love johto more than anything but crystal was a massive flop relative to emerald.
RS sold 8mil each, emerald sold 7. For essentially releasing the same game for a 3rd time they sold the same amount, that's crazy money printing. Gold and silver on the other hand sold 12 mil each while crystal only sold 6. Bear in mind the sales of 3rd games is derived from the sales of the first games so saying the sales of crystal is the same as emerald is a poor comparison.
The kanto point is good, the rest is a massive reach.

>>48072920 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 Johtotoddlers are subconsiously realizing that their childhood games are becoming irrelevant, outdated trash like gen 1 currently is.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.

>>48073128 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.
Tl dr:The Johtoman knows his time is ending, but is still in his denial phase

You can organize with your dis*ord buddies and try to promote Kalos and Galar as much as you can. You can try to subvert the board however you like, /vp/ WILL remain a Johto board. Cope.

>>48072812 >while deflecting from the fact that Kanto in RBY has even less to do than in GSC Man I loved fighting a single Rocket grunt instead of going through multiple Rocket gauntlets. I sure loved Viridian Forest being bulldozed. Who needs the Pokemon Mansion, Cerulean Cave or the Safari Zone? Let's just gut those because we have nothing to replace them with to make up for this completely neutered region. This is literally your first fucking point and if I wanted, I could spent the entire character limit explaining why you're wrong. You've made a garbage post. Do better the next time you want to defend your favorite games because if morons like you are at the forefront, then Johtofags are in a sorry state.
