>>50341110>Kanto was made as a dangerous and hostile regionWhat's with nostalgiafags projecting some edgy made up version of Kanto? The abundance of poison is never a factor in the region's flavor or identity, you're never told about how smoggy it is or anything like that. Several of the more notable Poison Pokemon are contained to tiny areas, i.e both Koffing and Grimer are only found in Pokemon Mansion and the remaining poison pokemon are generally just shitmons who have poison as a secondary type and can't actually be found in the wild of Kanto anyways (Vileplume and Victreebell for example)
Pokemon has always portrayed itself as a utopia world, Gen 1 just has an abundance of poison types because its an easy type to slap onto shit. A region like Alola is way more dangerous because its much more open and a lot more shit is willing to kill you.
