      If you wanna get more technical, the games are 13 years old since it came out first in Japan in 2009.
      I agree though, it's hard to believe that the remakes are now older than even the original Gold and Silver were when the remakes released.

    If I were to live any place in Johto, this is where I'd want to be. Quiet town, rich with culture in the heart of the region. National Park close by, with Goldenrod a hop, skip and jump away from that. And from there you could board a train for a quick trip to Kanto too!

    • @VictorbrineSC
      @VictorbrineSC Рік тому +18

      It's Kyoto. Ecruteak is based on Kyoto, Goldenrod on Osaka, and much like in the games, you can go to Osaka rather easily from Kyoto as well as hop on a train to Tokyo (aka Kanto).
