>Gen III: Remake of the Gen I games
I don't see how making the other 184 other Pokemon at the time available is trying to mimic Gen I's success.

>>30642766
It's not to mimic the success of Gen 1. It's to capture the older fans. No one wanted to play Gen 5 with its total cutoff from the earlier gens. It took B2W2 to remedy the situation and they even threw in PWT to make up for it.

Also, in the BW post game all the Kanto Pokemon appear.

2bh my only real problem with it is the crazy condensation of stuff that's exclusive to gen 1 mons. A ton of megas are gen 1, 100% of regional forms are gen 1, all exclusive Z-moves are gen 1 bar the starters', Tapu's, and Marshadow's, and a ton of split evos and baby forms for gen 1 mons. I just want them to share the love with other gens really, it would make the franchise feel more whole.

fire red leaf green are gen 3 games

This is why Genfivers are so butthurt about ANYTHING related to Kanto. They are the most cancerous part of the fanbase by far.

>>30642854
If you can't catch it for your playthrough, what's the point?

>>30642766
Most of the megas where Gen 3 mons, just count them and you'll see.

To give yourself something to do afterward.
Also the whole point of BW was to be a totally self contained restart, remember?

>>30643007
That restart was what didn't work and why they resumed connecting everything.

>>30642875
Nice b8.
>>30643074
Nope. It worked amazingly.

>>30642807
Many of Hoenn mons are copies of Kanto mons, basically the same elite four and even Brock in the first gym.

Grasping for straws: the post.

Gen 2: Pokemon isn't a "regional" or "generational" formulaic game at this point in time. It is literally just Pokemon. And GS was a sequel game that was originally planned to be named Pokemon 2. Of course they would let you revisit the old characters from the first game; it's not pandering.

Gen 3: Remakes were a method to catch a lot of pokemon unavailable due to non-connectivity between the old games, not to mention the two other generations which have had remakes since

Gen. 5 pandered to Kanto in a different way.

>6: The largest amount of megas are from gen 3
Technically that's only true of the remakes. In XY Kanto had 10 megas (12 if you count Charizard/Mewtwo X and Y separately) vs. Hoenn's 8.
