OP here. It appears that I've gotten some understandable criticism.
I figured that my way of posting was rather iffy, and I apologize for that. I can't seem to delete the thread and start over though.
Also I don't hate the other games. I really like them. I just want to talk about my favorites because I think that I can contribute to people that are on the same wavelength.
Also my choice of typing and saying things here was chosen by the stuff that I observed while being here. If any of it offends you, I'm sorry and it wasn't my intention.

I think my appeal and some others appeal to G/S/C and the remakes comes from what it gave to the franchise. It introduced many features that made Pokemon seem like actual living creatures. Breeding, Pokeathlon, and holding items are some examples. Day and Night, Friendship. These games seemed to be all about the relationship between you and your Pokemon.
The level curve is a flaw, but I think that while it is definitely the worst in the series, it doesn't take too much away from the game. Grinding is a chore but you don't have to do it because the E4 is also pretty low leveled.
My most important argument is that I think that the Gen 2 games provide the most adventure-like game in the core series games. It's rather non-linear and there are quite a few things to do that are separate from the story. The villains are awful enough that they don't require you to take a detour from your goal to be the best in order to save the world.
