There is no such thing as "Kanto Pokémon" or "Johto Pokémon". They're just Pokémon.
Zoomers need to stop applying nu-Gen standards to the only games in the franchise to have done things differently instead of copy-pasting Gen 1's formula..
>NOOOOOOOO WHY AREN'T THESE NEWLY DISCOVERED AND RARE POKEMON USED ALL THE TIME BY BOSSES?!?!?!?!?!
Because zoomer, they cared about worldbuilding once.
Yes. I like that they treated Johto more of an extension of Kanto. Also the Kanto mons they picked for the Johto gym leaders all fit them thematically.
So you agree BW2 is shit because none of the gym leaders use new Pokemon right OP? Your standards are consistent and you aren't an assblasted zoomer right?
I believe they're both good, but BW2 are better. GSC have very real flaws

At least half the Pokedex sucks, the shitty level curve makes grinding a pain in the ass, and Johto itself is kinda meh
all of these are flaws in bw2

God no. Leveling is perfectly fine and the Pokedex in BW2 has dozens of solid picks

Not only is that disingenuous, there's no way that happens without heavy grinding, but that's still better than GSC. The shit levels in GSC are a nightmare, the grind in Kanto is one of the worst I've ever experienced

I play it once a year, and it came out when I was 18. My first games were RBY, I'm just not blinded by nostalgia

BW2 boss battles have better teams and difficulty, specially in hard mode
BW2 Unova has one of the best wild mon distribution in the franchise
Plasma grunts are a bit more challenging than Rocket's (they use fricking rattatas and zubats at lvl 17 when you have 6 badges)

Yes. Third versions (like BW2) are held to different standards than new gen pairs (like GS)
Noctowl is overpowered at that point in the game.
Yanma is a far weaker ace than Scyther.
Drop Mean Look and Confuse Ray on Misdreavus for Thunderbolt. Less filler moves so the AI isn't clogged with crap.
Drop Arbok for Nidoqueen.
too lazy to fix the pokemon i accidentally deleted from the pic but the text reflects all pokemon. the only non-johto pokemon any of the region's gym leaders use is whitney's clefairy. you could maybe make an argument for scyther not being native to the region depending on how you look at the bug catching contest but the point stands almost all the pokemon are native to johto

>8th gym leader
>only 4 pokemon
>5th has 2
What causes this?
>8 of the boss fights in the game use at least 1 new Pokemon; like it reflects the game's quality at all.
Zoomers will seethe over this
You get 16 gym leaders and you complain there's not enough new in the first half. Look at yourself and tell me, what do you want?
New game should have new content instead of mostly recycled old
Yes.

I know this is bait, but BW2 have the excuse of being in the same gen
>it's allowed to be a lower effort game because it's labelled as a lower effort game!
wow
That's not what I said or meant
so you agree both GS and BW2 are shit? Or both GS and BW2 are good? Which is it?

So your standards are inconsistent, good to know.
Fixed
>LV 14 Noctowl
Should just be Murkrow or Togetic
Low level Noctowls are a thing, you can find them using headbutt in trees
Noctowl would be too strong for the first gym.
100 HP, 96 SP DEF.
This particular one has Take Down, Mud Slap, and Double Team at that.
Noctowl is overpowered at that point in the game.
Yanma is a far weaker ace than Scyther.
Drop Mean Look and Confuse Ray on Misdreavus for Thunderbolt. Less filler moves so the AI isn't clogged with crap.
Drop Arbok for Nidoqueen.
But Fury cutter is shitty and Sonic boom in these levels os dangerous with Yanma's speed
>Falkner
hoothoot instead of pidgey
>Morty
Misdreavus instead of one haunter
>Jasmine
One magneton instead of magnemite
>Pryce
Sneasel instead of seel

In a better timeline
i wouldnt have a problem with it if it werent for how much gen 2 babies you compared to some of the other games
how are we counting Syther, Lapras and macargo? Because syther and lapras aren't native to kanto and macargo is not native to johto
Johto was more of an extension of Kanto. I mean, the fricking region is literally connected to Kanto.
