[The Gear turns on to offer a side view of Cecil's right forearm mixing something in a bowl. He makes a few pleased noises before deciding to speak.]

A word of advice, for trainers and breeders both old and new.

[He finally moves the Gear so that it faces him, and holy hell what is that mass of purple and pink and blue tentacles moving around behind his back.]

Try to acquire a Tangrowth, a Cradily or an Omastar. They can be trained to give excellent massages, with some patience.

[And with some tolerance for slimy appendages wriggling around like a particularly lively Malboro.]

Back then, no one even knew that Kanto existed beyond those who were familiar with this world before arriving, and even they had no idea how to reach it. Few trainers had seen Goldenrod, much less the cities further away, and the path leading to it from Violet was blocked by Sudowoodos. And many species that are extremely common now were practically never seen, be it on the road or with other trainers.

Do you think this place is changing itself to accommodate the people who come here?

That could explain the new species that spring up every so often, yes. The rest of it is most likely due to the greater amount of resources and knowledge we've obtained over the years, and the locals' realization that opening Kanto's paths to us would be profitable.

Yet I keep hearing we're all still "closed off" in a sense. That Kanto and Johto aren't the only regions in this... world we're in.

That is correct. There are other regions such as Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova out there. But it could be that they are too far away for us to visit easily. The locals do not have airships, after all.
