While I do agree you have to remember the AI in pokemon games is generally dumb. It was never that hard to beat higher level Pokemon
>Horrible Gen 2 Pokemon
Subjective. Moving on
>Weak movepools
Agreed. They sucked
>Weak encounters
Only when you get to Kanto
>Weak Gym leaders
Depends on the player
>Limited Pokemon availability
Pre-Elite 4, you're only missing out on about 5 Gen II Pokemon. Which isn't a lot. Every other Gen 2 Pokemon is readily available before the Elite 4 if you're willing to put in the effort to get them. And why not put a little bit of the new Pokemon in kanto to encourage exploring an already barren post-game lol
>Gen 2 Pokemon are too weak
Subjective. I've done many playthroughs with my team consisting of Typhlosion, Noctowl, Ampharos, Heracross, Quagsire, and Espeon. A team like that can carry you all way to Red at Mt. Silver
>All the good pokemon don't fall into my lap and I actually have to play the game to get them

I stopped the video at 3 minutes. Jesus Christ, man. I normally wouldn't mind these bad video essays but these people insist on calling their opinions objective.
