>>53389065>>Emerald still has a worse level curseObjectively false since the game doesn't have an optional split path where the levels stay the same either side. Nor is there a lack of training options along the way.
>>objectively wrong (inb4 self imposed autism rules that doesn't count kantomons)Johto games objectively have the worst availability for a multitude of reasons from the wonky encounter rate, the poor distribution and the day and night cycle making some pokemon unavailable at specific times of the day. Things other games don't have to deal with.
>>HGSS objectively improved the stone situation via PokeathlonWhile that's true now you have to spend time farming up a very tedious and repetitive minigame rather than being able to buy the stones.
>>Pokemon game is easy, more at 11Most pokemon games aren't anywhere near as easy as Kanto in the Johto games
>>Cringe opinionAs "cringy" as you think it is, it's objectively true. Johto is the single most boring region to explore next to Kalos due to having very little of worth to actually find.
