Yes. Im tired of people acting like its the best just becuase gen 2 shoehorned in kanto

One of the best videos I have ever seen! You are very talented dude! Keep it up!

On the subject of locking certain Johto pokemon to postgame, here's a couple of gen 1 pokemon that also would have been nice to have earlier: Cubone Diglett (fast and arguably OP in the maingame with earthquake, but it's frail so it evens out.) Pikachu (There are almost no new Electric types, especially with the lack of Mareep in Crystal.) Electabuzz (same as above). Grimer Kangaskhan (you already have Tauros, so why not) Mr. Mime Also why don't we get any fossils? Not even one?

Playing blind Claire was just as hard or harder than Whitney. Playing with knowledge, they’re about even as the hardest battles in the game

I played this as a child and loved it, but as an adult I've put far more time into it than I ever could have as a child. It isn't really nostalgia so much as I genuinely think this and the remakes are some of the best games ever made.

🔥

Yes but i still like gen 2, but as someone who has played it a lot i can accept that it is fundementally flawed generation not for everyone and that the pacing drags, the level curve is ass, the representation of gen 2 mons in gen 2 games is very poor and kanto does not pose much challenge till last 2 fights so it feels even more like padding. Altho i like gen 5 most as an adult i think 2 and 3 take my heart in childhood.

Gollem is super op ingame 80% of the game gets Destroyed

Huge pokemon fan here no all of pokemon as a lil bit overrated. Game freak have also fucked up a ton last good games were black and white 2. Peak pokemon

Randomly stumbled across this video while I’ve been playing through Gen 2 Johto again. As a longtime fan of the remakes, fully committing to a Gen 2 playthrough finally after all this time of me telling myself I wanted to but but just… didn’t since why wouldn’t I play the version with more up-to-date mechanics?… it’s only given me more of an appreciation for Johto than I already had, moreso than my actual first main series game in Pokémon Pearl. (Every version of Sinnoh that isn’t Platinum is objectively horrible.)

It has the best soundtracks

Gen 2 mega goated

As i kid i loved Gold, and later HG. And altough i still like certain aspects, nowadays i can only play rom hacks of those games, because the games are so flawed, especially the originals

I can’t believe you predicted sonic x shadow generations. Lol

Why is there flintstone music lmao

Overrated? Absolutely everyone shits on Gen 2 because of its good Pokemon being in the postgame and wild encounter level scaling.

Jesus christ pokemom fans are obnoxious

The 2 generation is the worst of all Pokemon games.

Gen 2 isnt just amazing by itself tbh. Its the trifecta of gen 1, gen 2, stadium cross compatibility that makes it great. All these games enhance each other when combined.

Chikorita/Bayleef is a good Pokemon to set up with if not win against Whitney. With moves like Reflect to negate the first boost of Rollout and Poison Powder to whittle her HP away, it's a great tactic especially if you're lucky enough to have Chikorita start as a female. Also, in Crystal, you had a 1% chance to encounter Sneasel in Ice Cave, the room with the Rock Smash boulder

No. I think crystal is the definitive way to experience the game boy games. I was born two years after crystal came out, and played the heck out of these games on the 3ds with my 1 year younger friend and we both enjoyed it

Gen 2 supposedly was made as a "final entry" to the series. Well they were wrong..

I’m a huge fan of gen 2, and I like your video about it, however one thing I’ve noticed that nobody takes into account when reviewing these games is the games we came from, just the sprites alone were a massive improvement and at the time peak design 😂 yeah it wasn’t that great looking back but coming from red blue or yellow it was a massive upgrade visually and mechanically, alot of your comparisons are to future game mechanics but that just a part of learning! Eventually they figured out the sloppy mechanics like the phone calls being random and not very game changing for you

Goober

11:15 I’m prideful if the new team I raise and build. I’d rather lose knowing I made the best team, a team mostly of my favourites, having battled wild and trainer Pokémon, and lost, then hacked. It’s called skill. It comes from maturity.

Natu/Xatu are pretty decent

Your video are cool, I‘m happy to see your channel grow :)

I remember the game well, ´my first pokemon game ever. I was 10 years old, didn't knew a word of English, had no idea what was going on, solodebuut the game with my feraligator and I loved every second of it

Not as much overrated or garbage as gen 5, legends arceus and scarlet/violet These were the biggest mistakes of the franchise.

I'd argue having so many Gen1 Pokemon in Johto is not a bad thing. You see, most kids were STILL fascinated by Gen1 pokémon back then, Kanto still felt "new" to most fans, as gen1 games had came out in the west so late. None of the problems you mention I felt as a kid back then, it just felt like more content. It even makes sense geographically if you think about it, Johto and Kanto are physically connected together, it makes sense to have gen 1 pokemon in johto, and gen 2 pokemon in Kanto. I believe the games could've been better, but they were already 2 years behind schedule, and considering the amount of content they were able to fit in a 1MB cartridge is mind blowing. I don't think they had bigger cartridges back then.

Imagine being a grown ass person and putting this much effort to let everyone know you think these games are bad, LOL. Get a life, they are not that hard, you can literally finish them using only one Pokemon (whichever you like), and finally it's not that deep. Play the game and S H U T T H E F U C K U P ✨

Yes. Yes it is. And for me Hg/ss is equally overated. Bad rival. Bland region. Postgame is boring too (Class instead of mass) And worst of all: That atrocious level curve. Gen 2 brought VERY important changes and new things i give it that in that regard it is absolutly important and good. but the games themself? Mediocore at best.

14:22

22:22 Nahh, that's pretty accurate even in the remakes. When you got three gyms back-to-back-back with little to no grinding available, it really ruins the experience.

i loved them when they came out, but at this point i can barely stand playing gen 1 or 2, why play them if i can play Fire Red/Leaf Green or Heart Gold/Soul Silver

GSC are absolutely the worst games in the series, funny enough HGSS are like the 2nd best in the franchise behind the master piece games of BW2

How does this only have 500 views. Like actually this pretty good.

The Siivagunner music got me good

The fact that these games are coming to consoles makes me so happy

Sprite wise... Gen 2 is King. No arguments... Crytal is the best in that Category.

Both tlou 1 and 2 don’t take advantage that they are games. They are just movies with generic third person shooter gameplay in between the scenes. Granted the first game I guess the player grew to like Ellie along with Joel and I didn’t think tlou 2 was that bad but I can’t deny the pacing fucking sucked

Revisiting GSC after all these years was enough for me to see they have loads of flaws and have the move sets suck. Alas at the time though I probably was too excited about it being new and upg certain things to care. Still salty about Crobat not getting the Sludge Bomb Tm tho.

the only thing that saves it is nostalgia

Overrated but still my favorite 😅

no. next question

"Let's go balls deep into the pokemon of generation two." Ah a connoisseur of quality pokemon 'fanart' I see. :p

So what we (me) really need is a OVA based on gen2 a la pokemon origins

poob

yo silvagunner music!
