>>48086785>muh Pokémon mirror game progressionSo there's no progress between gyms 4-8?
>muh dexExpecting people to replace Pokémon already on their team for vastly underleveled ones or leave a space open for them until the post game is utterly retarded. The selling point of a new Pokémon game is new Pokémon, not the same 150 but with a few new evolutions.
>muh postgame pseudosIn Gen 1 you can get Dratini after 3 gyms.
In Gen 3 you can get Aron after gym 1*
In Gen 4 you can get Gible after gym 2 or 6
In Gen 5 you can get Axew after gym 5
*arguably not a pseudo
>Ummm well actually you can get Dratini (gen 1) and it's also a JohtomonHoly mother of cope
>Why would Kanto gyms be even remotely a challenge?Because it's a game. You can't use worldbuilding as an argument when there are cities with like 3 houses.
>Just replace your team lolWhat if you don't want to? Why would I restrict myself? (Remember this)
>Every. Game. Has. Rare. Encounters.Not. An. Argument.
>Johto is full of Kantomon and that's a good thingIsn't it strange how both the Johto and Sinnoh dex are full of oldmons, evolutions of oldmons and don't even have all their newmons until the post game? Isn't it also strange how they're the most complained about from the Pre-3D era?
Purely economic factors, I'm sure.
>Johtomons aren't badYour own example is using an incredibly cheesy strategy to get around your Pokémon being shit. You wouldn't call Bibarel viable but you can beat Gen 4 with it alone.
>Autistic way of playingLike dropping your team to raise a completely new one so the Kanto gyms will be an actual challenge?
>Johto is empty because Kanto which is also emptyI actually disagree about Johto being empty, there feels like a lot more substance compared to Gen 1. I'm only responding to this point to highlight the mental gymnastics Johtoddlers are capable of.
Somebody screencap this so they can't pretend like there are no arguments.
