>>50555633In what way is Johto gimped?
>muh leggel curgEvery time I play Johto, I'm at a lower level than the gym leaders, bar Falkner.
Zoomers only say the "lebel curb" meme because the small numbers break their minds ("wahhh eighth gym only lv40"). Your team gets less exp. too, so it makes no difference.
The non-linear Chuck/Pryce/Jasmine section still works regardless of which way you do it. If you're overleveled, stop solo-running.
>but houndour/larvitar!"Johtomons" is a retroactive construct because the series does "blood and soil" now, where the species is magically tied to the region of the generation where it was introduced.
Houndour was just a Pokémon, one that was new, and it happened to be found in Kanto.
>rocket grunts!Villain team grunts are always pathetically weak. Why do people single out Johto?
>but they don't use the new mons!Yes, they do. You pretend that gym leaders are the only trainers in the game, but trainers right next to the gym leaders (such as the sage's Hoothoot or the lass' Snubbull) use many Pokémon that were new.
