I think one of the biggest reason the rocket plot in gold and silver was so weak was because of the hardware limitations and them jamming Kanto it the game. If it was just johto then they could have flushed out everything about Johto a bit more. Having two regions made both Johto and Kanto really barren and lackluster. Heartgold and Soulsilver at least gave life to both regions the best they could.

Actually, as the urban legend goes, Iwata wrote a new compression algorithm that saved so much space they could put Kanto in, relatively close to the deadline. They didn't have enough time to flesh out Kanto very much because of that, but everything in Johto was more or less finished months before that. So in a world where Iwata hadn't intervened, Gold and Silver would've been just really mediocre games with a terrible story and weird region.

I think Bugsy was meant to be fairly easy which was a mistake as most other early gen games let the second gym be reasonably tough (I would say Brawley is the weakest through gen 4 on a relative basis when you take out Bugsy and he can pose a challenge if you dont grind). Butterfree and Beedrill would have made him a much better gym 2. Even adding the weaknesses of flying on top of bug wouldnt make a huge difference. You dont really get electric or ice type moves and the best rock type move is Rock throw which is meh damage and 90% accuracy.

When you talk about any gym leader having a weak team, I'm reminded of my favourite fan mod: Pokemon Crystal Clear. Among various other changes (Like 30 or so starter choices, making the world more free-roam, making every Pokemon available) it makes it so every trainer scales based on your badge count. Think Buggsy running 2 cocoon pokemon is odd? Well, rematch him with 16 badges and he runs 6 fully evolved level 80 odd 'mons. It makes it seem like every gym leader has different teams based on the challenger. Which would be useful if you were some kid who lived in somewhere like Blackthorn and had Clair as your first gym leader. challenge.

I love Gen 2's Team Rocket. As a kid, I didn't care too much, but as an adult and having played through the Gen 1 games, Team Rocket is treated as hilariously pathetic in Gen 2. You have an organized crime group who just lets a kid walk into their hideout and destroy everyone including the boss. Then three years later after the boss disbands the group, presumably out of embarrassment, some of his lackeys who didn't get the memo try to be Bond villains only to get curbstomped again by another kid. No wonder why the Johto police are never at the radio tower but are there when Elm gets robbed by Silver, they figure that some 10 year old kid who actually successfully stole a Pokemon is more dangerous (and in need of help) than some adult LARPers. It's just the vibe of Gen 2, "lol, watch how silly these adults are" that is amazing, like they decided, let's not take this team seriously.

I always felt like Team Rocket's presence in Gen 2 was done perfectly, even without the named executives. They were a major crime organization that was dealt a heavy blow during the events of Gen 1, and without the leadership of Giovanni it felt like all the grunts formed their own splinter groups to start their own lower-level schemes, like harvesting Slowpoke tails and forcing Magikarp to evolve. Made them feel like they were a problem that could never truly be erased, and were integral to the game world. Considering how often Pokemon repeats and recycles ideas, I sort of wish they would have just kept Team Rocket in all of the games - always making mischief in petty, easily-defeatable ways.

Mind Reader+Hypnosis doesn't bypass the inbuilt 25% chance for all enemy used status moves to miss. This is a quirk of Gen 1 and 2 (which the presence in the latter shows that it was intentional and not a bug) but basically all status moves be they Hypnosis, Thunder Wave, Tail Whip, you name it have a secondary accuracy check that has a 25% chance for them to fail but *only* if an NPC uses the attack, it doesn't affect players.

I love Ariados. I got him and Hootoot on my first ever play through of Gold and they were on the team when I beat Red. I added Ho-Oh to my team and has to cut a mon but couldn’t let go of Ariados or Noctowl… they were my boys!

3:45 the designers seemed to agree. With the remake, they gave Bugsy uturn on his scyther, so his cocoon pokemon at least felt a little more appropriate, since they could be seen as tool for the scyther- metapod is a tank that absorb that big attack you might have prepared for scyther, while the kakuna has poison- and only does poison.

100% agree with your comment about why didn't they give bugsy a butterfly or Beedrill. they should have given all of the Johto gym Leaders Johto Pokemon.

I like how you will do a video of ariados but not start with him... yet start with spinarak and level him up... that’s different and pretty cool. A lot of people will start with the evolution instead of the first stage !

You can actually catch a poliwag or poliwhirl in the pond in Ecruteak city for whirlpool/waterfall instead of the red Gyarados.

Natu using no special moves in Pokémon Crystal would be amazing!
