Generation 2 was really the epitome of passion and determination. Game freak has really lost its stream, and it's sad. Crystal is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. Just like you said, it was a mind blowing moment when, after completing the game, they send you on a ship and send you back to Kanto. Then the last mt silver section with a final battle was truly the cherry on top.

And for the three people that don't know this, Gen 2 was struggling to fit on the cartridge, until Iwata(former President of Nintendo) stepped in, and made compression tools so much better than GameFreaks, the amount of space that opened up, allowed them to put Kanto in. So, without Iwata, Gen 2 would not have its lauded post game.

I absolutely love Gen 2. In fact, Crystal was one of the games that inspired me to get into game development myself as an indie developer ^u^. It's such a content-rich experience, you can really feel the love behind the games (which makes sense, considering Gen 2 was meant to be the last). Literally everything was improved from Gen 1, from graphics, to sound effects and music (Gen 2 does Kanto's tracks better than Kanto does its own tracks, haha xD) to the existing mechanics being polished. Of course, there are still some glitches and such, but not nearly as many as Gen 1, or as in your face. Aside from Kurt's Balls mostly being broken, there's not any crazy glitches you'll encounter just playing the game normally, unlike Gen 1 and the Badge Boost Glitch, lol. Crystal was my favourite up until HeartGold, which is basically the same game but also more polished, and has even more content. It's like the epitome of Pokemon adventure, which is what I look for in Pokemon. Lots of non-linear exploration (especially Kanto, since you have all the HMs and such at that point and can explore at your own pace and direction), and lots of nooks and crannies to check out. Lots of optional areas too, which is SORELY missing from the modern games (Sword and Shield were especially a joke, just being hallway after hallway, even in the caves!). Still has the puzzles and environmental manipulation (like the Strength puzzles with boulders affecting traversal) and such too, which really adds to the feeling of being on an adventure, instead of being taken on a tour.

@@aamirrazak3467 I should also mention that Gen 2 was the only time the sequels felt like proper sequels. Not just because the previous game and characters returned, but also, this was the only generation where we didn't lose anything coming to it. Starting with Gen 3 is when GameFreak would start the pattern of taking a couple steps forward, but also a couple steps back each generation, and for no apparent reason. For example, going from Gen 2 to Gen 3, you lose animated Pokemon (until Emerald, and even then it's not as polished as Crystal's animations), lose the day and night cycle, lose most daily event things you can do, and lose a 2nd region to explore, being back down to only 8 badges. We gain Abilities and Natures along with the Stat Experience to Effort Value system change, some new moves and mon and a full Battle Frontier in Emerald. Coming off of Gen 2, Gen 3 felt underwhelming as a result in that regard; Emerald is still a good game, but it definitely didn't feel like a celebration of the series up to that point like Gen 2, with it missing so much. And the pattern only continues after that, with every generation adding things and also removing things for no apparent reason.

​@@tamerkohRegion specific features are the only things ever removed to give the region itself more of an identity, such as johto's 8 badges, hoenn's contests and whatever else. Everything else regarding overworld convenient features stay absolutely untouched, and this idea starts in gen 2 but it doesn't nearly end there. Since gen 3, the PC Pokemon box storage wasn't literally trash as it was in gens 1 and 2. Since gen 4, we've always had free, dedicated online since gen 5, TMs have always been a permanent item. Since gen 6-7 we've always had amie and gen 7 by itself introduced rides, removing HMs to traverse the world. Pokemon is quite definitely the only game series that was completely obsessed with keeping content, as everything involving the Pokemon themselves were expanded upon and updated from gen 1-7. Speak about any imbalances of which Pokemon were treated better, it doesn't matter, every Pokemon was still in every game with an updated sprite or model and updated abilities for 7 generations. The point of which you had 807 Pokemon, 728 moves, and all of their alt forms. Game freak makes other Nintendo games look like a joke because their standards for keeping forms, abilities, and characters were much higher. Zelda Majora's mask included a ton of awesome forms and abilities that are absent in the rest of the series, TP also added a ton of sword tech that's just gone in botw and totk. 3D Mario also couldn't even give us fludd back. Mario kart also removed character specific special reel items and the back seat mechanic from double dash. There's tons upon tons of examples obviously that I'm not going into, but I will say that it speaks volumes when people act like it's such a big deal when smash ultimate finally decided to include every character from every previous game when no character should have been dropped in the first place.

The attitude at Game Freak really felt like it was "go big or go home." They delivered on that in spades.

Cleffa laughing at the unsettling mess of whatever is supposed to be a Pokemon is going to haunt my nightmares for a while. Gen 2 really was a fine time, I vastly enjoyed it as a youth and it has some nice challenges (go for all Grass types, watch your blood pressure spike!) The Puzzle Challenge is even better in some ways than its console counterpart, with Pokemon you can obtain and a real sense of loss when you... well lose.

The spritework and music are much more charming in the Game Boy versions, and the only thing that's really worse is that Gen 2 doesn't have as much move variety as the future games.

4:53 Considering some pokemon are capable of completely wrecking gyms or giving them free skylights even if the walls are reinforced against electrodes bouncing all over the place (okay both of those things happened at different gyms but still), I'd say Pokemon gym insurance is probably insanely lucrative. Insurance involving pokemon attacks in general really, though I doubt they'd cover dialga de-aging people and pokemon because that happened exactly once while a dialga was under control of an alternate universe more competent version of the Team Rocket trio.

Gen 2 is my favorite in terms of visuals and sound, not just gameplay. While there are a couple features from later generations I would prefer if they could be in Gen 2 (Physical/Special split and Abilities; perhaps replacing DVs/IVs with Nature but absolutely not having all these multiple systems that represent the same thing), and all these years later I'm _still_ not fond of the introduction of the Dark typing and somewhat iffy on Steel (the former is just "Ghost, but slightly different" and the latter is just "Rock, but better"). It also introduces a couple of my all-time favorite Pokemon (Marill and Quilava) and some of my all-time least-favorites (Sneasel especially).

I got a lot of city vibes from the region (in part due to the pichu bros short and the junkyard with the houndour) and i thought it was really funny when i discovered johto is much more rural and traditional than kanto Of all the gen 2 games, stadium 2 is my favorite. Even with rentals only, i had so much fun with it. Earls pokemon academy was a real hilight for me, i loved the lectures and tests and the library.

Not sure why, but I expected this to be Pokémon Gold and Silver compared with Crystal and then Heart Gold and Soul Silver.

Gen 2 is amazing, much better than the modern switch crap, yes they have issues with the level curve, not showcasing well the johto pokemon, bad movesets, the team rocket section being tedious, kanto being a bit empty. But still the games were a masterpiece, they play much better than broken gen 1, they are the best looking gameboy game, artistically it looks amazing, the sprites are unbeatable. Nowadays gen 2 is underrated by people that didnt play it back in the day and dont understand how much of an improvement this was over the first game, its arguably even a bigger improvement than gen 4. Gen 4 is amazing couse it polished the battle system and added online, then they unpolished it with the gimmicks in gen 6.

If you think gen 2 had the best soundtrack, just wait til you get to gen 3 and play Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness.

The remakes wouldn't be part of gen 2, it would be gen 4
