Shills spent the last 4 years using Johto as a scapegoat for all the franchise problems and using it to deflect from the glaring flaws of new games, youtubers looking for quick views piggy-back of that and using it as an excuse to use Johto for their shitposts, and because Johto hasn't had a game in over a decade, the casuals and new fans that make up the majority of the Pokemon fanbase take their exaggerations and lies at face value.
