Pokemon’s Johto and Sinnoh Stick Out Like a Sore Thumb Compared to the Other 7 Regions

The upcoming Pokémon Winds and Waves is expected to introduce a new battle mechanic focused on weather effects, continuing a trend that’s been present in Pokémon games since Generation 5. Almost every new game released since then has included a unique twist on traditional battles. While some of these gimmicks have been more well-received than others, the Johto and Sinnoh regions—featured in older Pokémon games—have never had access to these special battle features.
