After half a decade fighting the paid anti-Johto mob, the truth is out for normies to hear.
slugma ball
>>58824159I've been seeing quite a few pro-Johto videos for the last couple weeks.Good. I'm glad the retarded Johto hatred is dying out and public opinion is turning.
>>58824164
>>58824159Slugma was erupted from Cinnabar Volcano onto the cycling road. It comes from Kanto.
>>58824166The pendulum is going to swing back the other way in 12 months and it'll be You Were RIGHT about Slugma.
>>58824167kekking
>>58824814well then it's a good thing it's available before the first gym in hgss, in a way that keeps the worldbuilding intact
Oh no Johtosisters what's this?
>>58824826how does going online to look up the primo egg codes keep the worldbuilding intact
>>58824867no wild slugma in johto
>>58824851No. It really, why thought it was a good idea to recycle the champion? Especially when you have only introduced one new Pokemon of their time? Think Gamefreak, think!
>>58824933Karen should be the champion with Tyranitar being her boss.
>>58824867They should've not added Slugma balls to gen 2 in the first place. What a weak ugly dogshit mon
>...and thats xI hate this style of titles.
>>58824954>weak ugly dogshit monsounds like gen 2 is the perfect place for it
>>58824954they needed to advertise a triple digit number of new pokemon so it doesn't look like they're jewing kidsotherwise they would've added like 40 new mons, the kanto evos, and skipped garbage like slugma, yanma and corsola
>>58824159>"Oh yes! A YT video that confirms what I've always believed but never discussed or complained about!">*Consumes slop*Anybody with half a brain would understand that the philosophy behind the early games was way different than modern ones. Gen 2 was a continuation of Gen 1, not a remake or a "this region is unique because of this wildlife living here". That's why the distribution of new and old Pokémon was so radical.Slugma is in Kanto because Cinnabar volcano exploded and sent many to the Cycling Road. Johto doesn't have Slugmas because there isn't a hot (enough) area for them to live. Most caves are frozen or in very low temperatures.>But you can have one if-I'm talking about the originals, not the Gen 4 remakes.
>>58825105if there was nowhere to put the new pokemon except at the very ass-end of the game, they shouldn't have put it in the game at all. use the slots for something more substantial.
>>58825152Like I said: different philosophy.Back then maybe it made sense to make some new Pokémon postgame exclusive, but nowadays the idea is very, very dated. And this is including the fact that (ingame) he isn't very useful to use.Oh, sure, you have the new firemon that is in the second region. This was cool in the end of the 90s, but then the internet and massive exposure ruined the surprise.
unlike everyone else in this thread, i actually watched the video. and this guy attributes the destruction of cinnabar island to mt. ember, which didn't exist until FRLG, instead of the volcano explicitly stated to be on cinnabar island that was explicitly stated to have erupted. so he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about at all.>>58825164no what ruined the surprise is that the pokemon fucking sucked and was at a low level and there was barely anything left to do with it by that point
>>58824166>public opinionI'm positive that Johto hate is a weird internet phenomenon, Kanto-Johto are the original golden era.
>>58825000They intentionally added slop mons like slugma because they wanted Gen 2 to flop. They didn’t want to make Pokémon anymore so they were trying to get the game to bomb so no one would buy it and Nintendo would end their contract. Sugimori even said in an interview “we made most of Gen 2 bland boring fodder mons because we wanted to insult players by treating them like retarded babies” he just hid it under corporate marketing speak
