Gen 2 is so hard to play today difficulty wise. Hgss and just the gen 4 engine allow so much more. And I know the level curve was still fucked up but it was better. There were more trainers in kanto with higher levels. But I digress, physical Gengar? Lances Dragonite only has a 90 bp special outrage and doesnt ohko every mon not either level 50+ (good luck) or steel type? Shits too easy. Oh Bruno has a hitmon with special moves and a really shitty gen 2 machamp? Not one with physical punches and a champ with no guard? That can hit pidgeot while flying? Damn.
But this game can be soloed with Kadabra and maybe something to hit other psychics and darks. Idk the starters bar Meganium all get solid neutral coverage on both. With those two and maybe a hitmonlee, and the appropriate hm slaves, the game is easy. And after lance the game is unplayable. Have fun with level 30 and sometimes below npc mons, no gym leader or elite four rematches, and a pathetic by comparison red fight; no light ball on much lower levelled chu, no hail, no lapras with blizzard. It just sucks. Buy a dslite and a copy of hgss. They arent hard to find, and if you're smart or patient you can get one for around 30 USD. Please, for your own sake.
