flooded! So a false statement right out of the gate.
I view two rivals as different from kanto, you're shifting goalposts now.
Johto does not have its own identity while kanto and hoenn do, that's the point. No one would have cared about johto if you couldn't visit kanto again.
>Muh more waterthe island routes are different, and they give hoenn a clear identity. Name a kanto or johto route similar in style to hoenn's route 119, 113 or upper 115.
The optional areas are laid out differently. Repeating myself once again.

Kalos has nothing to do with an argument linked to the first three gens
