    I haven't played Gen 2 in a long time and honestly thought those levels were an edit. I guess Johto's level curve really does suck.

      I did the math one time when this topic came up and objectively Pidgeotto is stronger in just about every aspect. I think it took slightly more damage on Physical or Special side or something, but that's it.

    How the FRICK do you become a gym leader with a level 7 pidgey and a lv 9 pidgeotto?

      Not as easy as you'd think, Gust hits reasonably hard since it's physical in gen 2, mud slap can be a b***h. Plus flying and ground actually covers a bunch of the early game mons

      The sad part is that in universe he's borrowing from his dad. Johto should be called Johko.

      Gym leaders don't fight you with their own team until you have eight badges.
      Do you think Brock crushes every Bug Catcher that visits the Pewter City gym with his level 42 Kabutops, or do you think he gives them a tough but fair fight for a beginner where he holds back with a limited roster, like in RBY?

        .
        Then why does Norman in gen 3 refuse to fight you until you have 4 badges?

          special treatment as his kid. He didn't want to face you with kiddy gloves on. He wanted to at least pull out the teen gloves

    Why not? You can do them in either order unlike the shitty remakes that hold your hand.

    Because he's an elder while Falkner is a novice gym leader. Also because you can fight him after Falkner in GSC, but you would know that if you would play the fricking games.

    In-game levels have always had inconsistency flaws with canon/lore. Its why it isn't taken seriously.

    because the moveset is shit comparitively, plus the BST of Hoothoot vs Pidgeotto. It takes more than 1 level to become more difficult. This is what Johto detractors wanted for Falkner

      Honestly at Lv 9 they could've even given him a Pidgeot. Imagine the mindfrick that'd cause as a kid.

      Honestly that's a good headcannon. Either that or he's his grand dad and Violet Gym is passed from generation to generation.
      Also, Bellsprout Tower sounds like like a good place for a gym so we can assume that it was its original purpose before actual gym was build in city.
