>>53626430>>53626441Dislike Johto all you want, but some of his arguments are objectivelly false.
>bad level curveIt's fine. Not great, but not game-breakingly bad. Emerald's is much worse. Plus, it's a Pokémon game. Who cares?
>awful Pokemon distributionIt's not awful. Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh are all objectively worse in that regard.
>bad pacingIt's fine. Only thing that could be seen as bad in that regard is if you did the Team Rocket HQ right before the Radio Tower takeover, but that is a result of the non-linear gameplay, and thus can be avoided by just doing things in a different order.
>underwhelming bare overworldNow this is just a ridiculous claim to make. HGSS aesthetically fleshes out every town, city and side location and gives each one their own identity. Every location in HGSS is beautiful.
>no new content after beating Red (compared to the Sevii Islands in FRLG or the Delta Episode in ORAS)Not only is that not true (Groudon/Kyogre, Kanto starters, Hoenn starters), but you can see how disingenuous he is being by making comparisons to the Sevii Islands/Delta Episode and pretending Kanto isn't postgame.
>some of the lamest boss battlesOk, Archer is lame. But hello? All of the Johto AND Kanto Gym Leaders? Lance? Blue? Motherfucking Red?
