>>56511679The criticisms for Johto are real (for GSC) while the “criticisms” for Unova are complete nonsense to anyone who has played the games.
>Linear RegionMore exploration than any Kanto game, and more meaningful exploration than Sinnoh. Not to mention games like SV or PLA whose idea of exploration is empty PS1 grass textures, SM’s railroad, or SWSH the straight line region.
>Kanto Rip-offsUnova gave us 156 unique designs so much so they polarized a good portion of genwunners. The Kanto rip-off meme started as a discord troll and became parroted by retards who genuinely see a rock type and calls it a copy of a different rock type that came before.
>Story badBetter story than any Pokemon game, including every Ohmori-directed game that shoves hours of cutscenes for a shitty family trauma story down your throat (Bianca did this better with less screen time, and not even being the focus).
