Why does the current Pokemon community hate Johto games so much?

I genuinely think it's weird how iconic and fan favorite games are suddenly 0/10s for reasons that apply to a lot of other Pokemon games (And sometimes it's actually contradicting too)
Why is it just Johto and Orre that are getting the hate?

    Shills need a scapegoat to make nu-gens look better, because Johto is has the least shilling privilege out of every region and is the oldest non-KANTOOO region so it gets all the hate.

    not to say those games don't have flaws, all pokemon games do, but calling them the worst is laughable especially compared to the shit the franchise has gotten since x&y or arguably since b&w if you were born before 2000

                >Without competitive you are literally playing and obsessing over a children's adventure game
                the reason people play competitive is because they're too attached to pokemon to learn other games

                Untrue, there is no other competitive RPG to play, especially not one better designed than Pokemon

                Only because Smogon balances the other metas by removing broken pokemken so that can be playable. gen2 is the only Gen that they refuse to fix. If any other pokemon were as overcentralizing as Gen2 Snorlax, it would have been banned from OU on the first day.

                SmogonBlack folk don't know what's broken and what isn't, they ban based off what personally irritates them.

                Snorlax isn't even the main reason why Gen II OU sucks, it's Rest-Talk which is built into the game. If Sleep Talk couldn't call Rest then half of the stally problems would disappear instantly.

    Known famed Johtoddler Tamashii made a video calling Colosseum the worst game.

    Why are you trying to tack these on as a pair when nobody else does? Sure much of the mons are from Johto but it's not a Johto game and the designs are only one aspect of Johto's growing criticisms.

    GSC was good for its time

    HGSS sins were not fixing the level curve, and only fixing some encounters with the safari instead of making them more organic, not giving leech seed to chikorita as a level up move, removing the ability to buy coins for voltorb flip and making rematches against leaders rather obtuse, that's all I legitimately criticize about these games

    Orre is fine for a gc game it did well enough, people are just not used to doubles taking more time
