These games are pretty much everything you could want in a sequel. Took everything the first generation did and made it better. Introduced a whole new set of memorable pokemon, and three of the most popular legendaries in the franchise (Lugia, Ho-oh, and Celebi). Gen 2 was every bit as popular as gen 1, and was a successful part of the 90s Pokemon boom. It wasn't until Gen 3 that the initial success wore off.
So why does Gen 1 get all the attention? Why doesn't Gamefreak do more for Gen 2? It seems like a waste to just ignore such an integral part of this series' foundation.
