Yeah 8D
They do have the hair cutting brothers, but like is was back in the good ol' GBC days, you can't fly from Kanto to Johto. Although I -think- you can if you were at the E4 HQ. Or, that was for pre-Kanto since the Abra dude doesn't teleport you back, I guess...
And at the moment I'm trying to reach as many towns as I can before I take on any Kanto gym leaders. I attempted to take on Surge, but the only Pokemon that has a move capable of taking down his Electric types is my Feraligatr XD
