>walks into GameStop>Sees female working >Walks up>"good day m'lady">she looks up from sorting amiiboS>"Johto is objectively trash tier design. Level scaling is a literal crime against statistics. You hit Morty with level 18-20 team and he drops 21-25 Gastly, Haunter, and Gengar. Then Elite Four jumps to 40-50 like they forgot what a difficulty curve is. Bad faith difficulty. Not skill issue, bad programming. And the dex variety? Oh my Arceus. Twenty new pokemon then endless Sentret, Geodude, Zubat etc spam. Kanto rejects on repeat. literally recycled content with worse pacing. change my mind" >Leans in>"Perhaps m'lady would care to discuss this intellectual tragedy over Monster energy and chill? We could bond over shared suffering. I would even name my next permadeath after you.

>>59038071Isn’t he the guy who cries about the term “HM slave” ?
>>59038104It's the guy who thinks that you can be a professional on something that relies entirely on luck and who is not even playing legit as he hacked in rare candies
why do we have daily eceleb threads
>>59038121I think you mean PokEcelebs
>>59038071Why does this fag hate Johto so much?
>>59039089Level curve, distribution of Johto mons and the stats of most of Johto mons (iirc the only line he thought it was good was Lanturn).All "valid" complaints if you want, but calling it the worst is just in bad faith imo, the franchise still had (unironically) soul compared to what we have now, but even compared to gens post 2
>>59039112>level curveits a bit fucky around gyms 5-7 but apart from that there's nothing really wrong with it, and if you aren't dogshit at pokemon you won't even notice it got easier. i sure didn't until it was pointed out>distribution of Johto monsthe vast majority of them are readily available if you know where to look (which you can check with the pokedex btw), and out of the few that are postgame only most of them were made available earlier in HGSS>the stats of most of Johto monswell yeah no shit if you compare them to later gens they're gonna look weaker in comparison, if everything's a shitmon nothing isit's not like the johto games are flawless by any stretch, what game is really, but most of the more common complaints are so drastically overblown. they hold up really well today, especially the remakes
>>59038071>autistically spergs out about a kids game
>>59039089Because if you refuse to play the johto games normally, it makes them worse. Playing the johto games normally (not leveling to whatever cap, taking the order of gyms -> elite 4 -> gyms -> e4 rematches -> red), you barely need to grind, if you need to at all. Trying to limit yourself with weird, arbitrary level caps will either make the game incredibly easy or result in 2/3 of your teams being “over leveled” for most of the second half
>>59039135>if you aren't dogshit at pokemon you won't even notice it got easierthe amount of absolute lobotmites ive seen who say red is super unfair because his levels jump way up and you have to grind a bunch to get even close to his levels, not understanding that you're supposed to fight him underlevelled and it's stilla piss easy fight even if you do.he's overlevelled on purpose because that's the only way they could make him remotely threatening while also giving him a nonsense team of kantooooo shillmons. whining about the level curve is just a massive self report that youre a shitter
>>59039154It's weird because most Pokemon games are like this to begin with. The only game where you can really put arbitrary limiters on yourself and still have fun is Kanto because of its applicability
