When Pokémon’s sales decline a bit maybe. It got better from gens 3-5 during its least popular period, and then Kanto nostalgia content kicked up again especially after GO brought a second wave of mainstream trendiness and popularity. Pokémon is at its best when it’s mostly a subcultural thing.
>people shit on gens 6, 7, 8 for kanto pandering >B-BUT CHARIZARD BRIDGE, B-BUT THE KANSAI REGION IS NEXT TO THE KANTO REGION, B-BUT GEN 3/4 REMADE OUTDATED GAMES peak nugenner moment

Nah, galarian Nessa is a slow frail mixed attacker. her unovan form fixed her by making her a physical tank instead.
>it’s only ok when gen 5 does it unovabortion momment
Samuel Brooks
gen 5 is nugen and nothing you say will ever change that

>>Gen 6: Panders to KANTTTOOO >>Gen 7: Panders to KANTTTOOO Part 2 >>Gen 8: Panders to KANTTTOOO Part 3 What's wrong with referencing Kanto?
Ryder Brooks
Gens 2-5 make references to Kanto, Gens 6-8 outright pander non-stop. It gets kind of annoying when instead of making a good game, they just slap Charizard as the Champion's undefeated strongest ever ace and call it a day.
Adam Cruz
only niggers who didn't start playing pokemon with red/blue/yellow hate Kanto FACT
Jaxson Lee
True
Leo Miller
So the vast majority of the fandom? Yeah Kanto sucks indeed
Matthew Peterson
You must always honor your roots.
Justin Butler
I didn't started with RBGY but I don't hate Kanto.
It's okay i guess, it was for it's time.
Sebastian Jenkins
I feel like Kalos and Let's Go were the only real Kanto pandering in recent times. Leon having a Charizard isn't Kanto pandering, Charizard is just a really cool and popular pokemon. Diantha having a Gardevoir as an ace isn't seen as Hoenn pandering either. I think people are just hyper-sensitive to Kanto representation because of the 'Gen 1 vs everybody else' divide in the community.
Carter Thomas
I want to agree with you but there's also Gengar and Machamp being the most popular Pokemon in Galar.
Daniel Turner
>only people who don't have nostalgia hate Kanto So you admit that it is objectively bad, then? Retard.
