>>56072217>Second acenot a thing, cope dumbass. Galarmons are such an embarrassment that even Galarians hate them. Galar's a shithole that can't stand on its own. Johto had the excuse of the devs being incompetent morons who accidently stumbled onto success despite Gen 1 being a broken glitchfest with a roster full of Dragon quest ripoffs and blackface drag queens. Game Freak barely had a concept of what Pokemon was when making Gen 2, they didn't know what a region should be or how to make a dex. They were a small indie company suddenly thrust into into triple A expectations. Also second installments ALWAYS gets the shit end of the stick similarly to how the second child is never as loved as the first child or coddled as any children afterwards because humans at the end of the day are monkey-brained retards. Gen 2 was victim of circumstance, Johto could never be anything other than Kanto's Backyard; the Gen 2 pokemon could never be anything other than an expansion pack to leh iconic ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY, doomed to get scraps while KANTOO gets constant worship and every other Region gets half a decade to shine
Galar had a buffer of 23 year to distance itself from Kanto, it had Johto's failure to learn from, and Gens 3-7 to build experience. Pokemon was the biggest and richest it ever was, having nigh infinite resources at its disposal. Galar could have been anything, but it chose a glorified Kanto theme park, so much so that the anime skipped Galar to do Journeys, reminder that even fucking Johto had enough identity to carry an anime.
T-Tar got cucked by Dragonite the first Dragon while being a Rock/Dark type in a region with no Rock or Dark gyms and the only Dark expert was likely added last minute; Misdreavus got cucked by Gengar, the strongest ghost in the franchise until Gen 5; Elm got cucked by Oak the inventor of the damn PokeDex.
Dragopult is a minmaxed pseudo who got cucked by... a pencil-necked beer belly lizard who's afraid of some pebbles.
