>>53986510it's that the levels are too low, dipshit. the game stops being fun because you're literally just mashing A to win.
even with a six-mon team it feels like a solo starter run, that's how fucking easy the majority of johto is.
they throw way, way, WAY too many worthless fodder trainers at you, and combined with gen 4's slow battle speed, it makes for a wholly unenjoyable experience.
pretty much every team rocket encounter is like this, they're always retardedly underleveled and have teams with a bunch of fodder pokemon as if solely made to waste the player's time.
look at this shit, this is a post-pryce trainer. seven gyms in, and her mons are still fucking level 21. morty's gengar by itself is more of a threat than every single regular trainer in the radio tower, THREE FUCKING GYMS LATER.
tl;dr mashing A to win is boring and that's completely unavoidable in johto, making johto the least fun region to play through.
