>>45036757I started with Gold version but man these games are atrocious. If Iwata didnt put in all that hard work to squeeze in Kanto these games would be HOT GARBAGE.
Since you asked:
>serious unbalancing of types>no special/physical split rendering certain pokemon with effective stab such as Gengar (65 ATK LUL)
>horrendous distribution of new pokemon like houndour and murkrow only available in POST GAME KANTO>level curve is awful >overall shitty movepools for most pokemon>johto gym leader using muh kanto more than johto mons to represent their region >forces you to use HMs to progress >full of glitches and bugs, like cloning, etc
