Johto set a high standard, shills are mad that modern kusogemon can't live up to it, so they put it down to make recent slop look better
Fans of other gens have always been jealous of Johto's objective superiority, so they used this as an opportunity to spread this narrative
The reason there isn't a more vocal hatebase than Johto's is pretty simple, and it's rooted in jealousy.
It's not just /vp/, you can't mention liking Johto anywhere without a swarm of drones telling you that their favorite Poketuber said it sucks actually.
Johto lives in everyone's head rent free.
