>>51265421Because SwSh is such an ungodly piece of shit that fake-fans have to tear down older games to gaslight people into forgetting about SwSh's flaws. The Johto games are the favorite scapegoat since they're oldest region that isn't protected by KANTOOOO shilling.
I have to at least give the person in the OP credit for using HGSS, since the overall stronger opponents, lack of badge boosts, and lack of Stat EXP mean the level curve is an actual issue, but even then it only amounts to having to grind or an extra hour at the most. These are the same people who stare blankly at a screen replaying the same cutscene for months on end just to get a slightly different colored CHARIZARD, But Johto is apparently complete because because you have to spend a minuscule fraction of that time raising a Pokemon in a franchise that's all abut building bonds with Pokemon. I fucking hate nu-fans.
