<div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">We can just say that importation of Pokemon from those regions were banded/blocked by Team Rocket. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>That doesn't make much sense... Why would Teram Rocket block off all connections with foreign contries and also kill any oppertunitis of finding powerful/rare Pokemon? Do you really think they would miss out on Pokemon like Slacking, Archeops, Rhypherior, ect?...<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I actually had an idea about how when Team Rocket made everything in Kanto/Johto go to shit, that Hoenn Unova and Sinnoh just placed a seal on their borders, preventing any activity from either of the two affected regions in order to make sure that they didn't suffer the same fate.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>But that wouldn't explain the lack of Pokemon from Gen III-V not appearing in their countries. It was shown in LG/FR/SS/HG that there are Pokemon from the banned Generations in Kanto and Johto, and considering that this is in the future... Well...<br/><br/>This can easily be explained that your trainers haven't encountered any because they haven't traveled far enough in their journey, or that, since it is't their home country, Pokemon from Gen III-V are much rarer in Kanto and Johto. I just think that completely neglecting their existence in the regions is out of the question at this point.<br/><br/>Just my two cents...
