>>58708660I'd keep
>KotoraRaitora isn't necessary because the main reason we like Kotora is his cuteness. Also serves as this gen's Pikaclone instead of Pichu or Marill
>TsubomittoBecause it's actually important to Johto (Sprout Tower) and to balance the Bellsprout line with the Oddish line
>MadamePayoff for Gen 1 shitmon that you can get early in Route 38 and 39 (Do you think they placed Farfetch'd there before Madame was cut because they expected the player to get Madame as soon as they reach Jasmine?)
>JaranraPayoff for Gen 1 shitmon you can get in Route 44 after getting 7 badges, hopefully with the stats to match a lategame mon so it's at least one good Grass-type in Johto. But mostly because I'd rather have it than ugly ass Tangrowth
>NameeruPayoff for Gen 1 shitmon you can get in Route 44 after getting 7 badges
Honestly I really want Wolfman to make it in because he's so cute (as a single stage mon, Warwolf is not necessary) but the above 5 deserve to be in the game more imo
I don't know what I'd cut to fit him in because I love all Johtomons, even the shit ones (Johto wouldn't feel the same without Unown and Delibird)
Maybe I'd cut Slugma and Magcargo for Wolfman and Warwolf since they're non-existent in Johto, but those 2 are literally the only new Fire-types in Gen 2 outside Magby, the starter line, and the legendaries
Could be something you can get in Ilex Forest or somewhere around Mahogany/Blackthorn (but it's too late if it's locked behind Route 44)
