>>49456243>>Let's give a shit-ton of Kanto mons megas, including the startersKanto and Hoenn were both given the most megas because they took place in the furthest particular point on the timeline.
>>Let's give one of the Kanto starters and one of the Kanto legends 2 megas eachThere are tons of complaints that Megas are basically non-existent during XY's campaign. Would you really prefer they had ignored them like every other game that includes them?
>>Let's make all the Kanto legendaries available ingameThey were the only ones missing from BW2, and it was fitting for the first game to not have transfers baked in from the get-go to include them.
>>Let's make Pidgey the first wild Pokemon you encounter instead of one of the new PokemonHow is this Kanto pandering?
>>Let's reuse the same layout from Viridian Forest for the new early game forest instead of designing a new layoutThe irony of this statement is that they did design a new layout for Viridian Forest. Now, if some NPC said that the structure of the forest was similar to another one in the Kanto region then it would be pandering.
>>Let's add a static Snorlax encounter and a Gift Lapras just like in KantoNo one mentions that this happens in Kanto.
>>Let's make Lapras the only Pokemon with a unique surf animationLapras has always been iconic as a surfmon, and it wasn't pandering in Gen 2 when EVERY surf mon appeared as Lapras. Again, no one mentions that people particularly use Lapras in the Kanto region.
