I'd rather have one big great world than two average ones with issues.
One of the downsides to Kanto is that they put a bunch of Pokemon over there that end up being completely irrelevant by the time you get over there. Which wouldn't be a problem, except they put NEW Pokemon like Houndoor and Murkrow exclusively in Kanto.
This is actually a great point.
One thing about GSC is that I could never shake the feeling that they were trying to piggyback off RBY. Older Pokemon weren't just there alongside the new, they were prominent. Half of the gym leaders in Johto didn't even use new Pokemon. Off the top of my head, Falkner, Bugsy, Morty and Chuck never used a single new Pokemon, despite the fact that we had new Pokemon of each of their types. New Pokemon like Sneasel, Houndour, and Murkrow were shoved into Kanto for absolutely no reason. The first few routes of the game had mostly old Pokemon. I could go on all day about it.
RSE tried to distance itself from that and make the new Pokemon more important. The majority of Pokemon you meet in Hoenn originated there. Only a few older Pokemon were kept, and the experience felt new. And then people **** on it for daring to be different.
