🌟 Why It Still Stands Out
One feature I appreciated throughout the adventure was having my lead Pokémon walk beside me. It made the journey across Johto and Kanto more personal than many earlier Pokémon games. I also enjoyed returning to Kanto after completing the Johto League because it nearly doubles the number of Gym Leaders compared to most mainline Pokémon titles.
