I see a bunch of zoomers and protozoomers shitting all over Johto as of the last couple of years and I want to know. why is the case

>lack of pokemon
I thought that it was assumed that you had accesses to the previous generation and that one was supposed to transfer their team over when Bill fixed the system in Goldenrod.In my playthough I sent over both a porygon and chansey at lvl 39 or so with a stacked moveset to fillout my team. They evolved into their gen two evolutions respectively.

>Game was too easy and gym leaders didn't have new pokemon
I thought that the real challenge was going to be stadium 2, as stadium 1 was the real challenge for gen 1. Stadium two was much more difficult than stadium one.

> New pokemon introduced weren't worth while
Majority of pokemon in gen 1 were pretty shit, only 15 or so were worth a damn.

>some are only available in post game
Stadium is post game, not kanto stop acting like a white girl

Honestly it was much better than kanto and had some interesting features. Anything post-johto was garbage because competing monster series outclassed pokemon performance wise, mystery dungeon blew out gamefreak's efforts and proved how shit they were.
