>>55850847I just finished playing Red for the first time and it really made me appreciate all the QoL improvements Gen 2 brought to the table.
>exp bar>not having to go through menus to use HM moves>being able to change from one pokemon's stat screen to the other without backing out to the party menu>pokemon being healed when deposited in the PC>having a menu for move descriptions>setting a key item to select so you don't have to go through the menu to use it each time>bag being split into multiple pockets so you're not dealing with "but the bag is full!" for 60% of the fucking gameThat's just what came to mind off the top of my head. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Red, but I don't think people realize how much of the shit we take for granted in the modern games came from Gen 2.
