Gamefreak was just too lazy to put actual effort into making another league
No it’s more like they became lazy in every gen after and just copy/pasted kanto’s formula for no fricking reason.
Johto is the Wacky Deli of Pokémon. Game Freak didn’t want to make Pokemon anymore so they made Johto into a hick shithole that’s such a backyard to KANTOOOO that it doesn’t even have its own league, so that fans would hate it. But Johtotimmies were too stupid to realize they were the butt other joke

do you have this assigned to a keyboard shortcut so you can post it in every johto thread?
My mom keeps telling me to get a degree and a good paying job in Kanto.
She says that if I stay in Johto I'm going to have to work on the family farm.
My creepy uncle told me I'd have to make balls with him. It's just a scam though, we steal apricorns, paint regular Pokeballs, and pretend they do something special.
No, it's just a case of early installment weirdness. The Pokemon League was originally just THE Pokemon League, the only one in the world. Every region having its own is a Gen 3 retcon.
>Every region having its own is a Gen 3 retcon.
this is the actual reason for a lot of the retroactive criticism of Johto lacking an identity. Gen 2 was designed as a sequel, it was meant to supplement Gen 1, not supplant it. But Gen 3 set the expectation going forward that every Gen was to be a soft reboot, with its own Pokemon league, a completely standalone dex, little attachment to the previous regions, etc, and because that's become the template for the series, people now judge Gen 2 based on that standard.
Every gen is a sequel. They tried harder with 3, that's all.
>lazily copy and pasting gen 1 is trying harder
That's literally what gen 2 did.
No, they just left it alone and expanded, as a direct sequel should.
Then in gen 3 they took the "can I copy your homework" approach and kept it ever since.
>left it alone
You mean copy pasted it?
>expanded
You mean shrunk?
This gen 2 cope is really mind boggling to me.
No, Gen 2 is a direct sequel to Gen 1. It's the only gen to be a true sequel to a previous one. The rest are just new installments.
You mean the Indigo League, at Indigo Plateau? Even the league posters in the anime said it was a regional championship.
Gen 2 was already in production when the anime premiered, that's why Ho-Oh appeared in the very first episode.
Wasn't it one of the Pokemon cut from gen 1 because they couldn't fit it in?
No. It may have had an idea for it since Gen 1 but it was never actually put into Gen 1 in the first place. There was a leak that showed the 40 or so beta Pokémon that were cut from Gen1 and none of them appeared in gen2
Johto is the little buddy nation of Kanto, the Austria to Kanto's Germany, although arguably the "little buddy effect" is a lot more relatable to the Anglosphere, Canada vs America, NZ vs Australia, Ireland vs UK expect being vocally more libtarded than their larger chud neighbor and pride in minutae like irrelevant regional culture/indigenous languages etc. (Canadian French, Maori, Irish Gaelic, etc.) expect Johtoids to all speak Kantonian but take prie in a dying Johto language/dialect or cry about Kanto colonialism/supremacy while any Johtonian of worth emigrates to Kanto and uses Kanto services while Kanto never ever thinks of Johto.
How would their government work? Would Kanto Kommunist Party be the biggest political party?
The Pokemon League is your government.
The champion is your feudal lord.
>Lord Wataru commanding me to strip and let him use my peasant body
H-hot, where do I sign up
>Kitakami and Hisui aren't regions because there's no league
>Alola only becomes a region at the end of the game
I'm fairly certain that we see of Kitakami is just a small part of a larger region.
that move was bullshit btw. raichu should've busted pikachu's dick string for that
Johto would be DLC in the current era.
In fact if you think of RBY/GSC as part 1 and part 2 respectively (like Golden Sun), you have the whole Pokemon experience in a nutshell and don't need to suffer the disappointments that come later.
bait?
America and Canada share the same (basketball) league, are they the same region?
Canada is just America’s Hat. It can’t stand on its own
canada inependent in the same way if alaska or OHIO was independant they would sill have to rely on USA in many ways...
Yes
>op tries to shit things up with his hot take
>he's actually right
>real hot take is that gen 3 shits up the series by setting the formula
When the hoennbabies wake up and come to this thread to shit on johto they aren't going to be happy.
>real hot take is that gen 3 shits up the series by setting the formula
ooof
Gamefreak was just too lazy to put actual effort into making another league
Why doesnt every game use the same league?
How do you become world champion if there's a billion leagues?
I feel like I've been duped.
