>Johto is literally Kanto's backyard>Hoenn recycles a lot of Kanto concepts>Sinnoh has a lot Kanto crossgen evos>Unova recycles basically every single Kanto concept and has Charizard bridge>Kalos straight up copies an entire area from Kanto, gives you a Kanto starter and almost every mega is a Kanto Pokemon>Alola has every single regional form be a Kanto Pokemon>Galar has Leon's Charizard, regional form Kanto birds and every single Gigantamax form that isn't a Galar Pokemon be a Kanto Pokemon (except for Garbodor)>Paldea has 2 out of 14 Paradoxes based on Kanto Pokemon... and thats it
