I see little reason to restore the posts in question since they have zero contribution to the topic of this thread. Same goes for >Feelings<' post.
I realize that...
For this one time only, I found it necessary to go off topic for a while.
I'm a human too, after all...
I mean, just look , this person doesn't even have the understanding to know that moderators don't need to take permissions. This person doesn't even realize that he did something wrong. I hope God gifts this person with much needed sanity and manners - he needs it.

As for this topic, my point still stands true:
We are only shown the towns and cities that
Ash travels in the Anime, and we're only shown the gyms that
Ash challanges in the anime.
But in actual, there are many MANY more towns and cities and gyms.
Not only Kanto, but EVERY region has a LOT of town and cities and gyms.
But you only need to get a minimum of 8 badges to get in the Pokemon League.
