>>48266289>Gen 1 was a broken mess of a game. It's the worst in the franchise by far, maybe competing with SwSh due to how bad ITS bugs are/were - and unlike SwSh they can't just patch out the bugs in gen 1.Gen 1 was obviously a low-budget experimental title made by a small indie studio. It’s still more fun than its remakes.
>Gen 2 was better, but Gen 4 was superior in every possible way so HGSS are the definitive Johto games.Gen 2 is nearly perfect. HGSS are weighed down by post-Gen 3 bullshit like natures, abilities, etc. that just make the game needlessly complex. I like being able to just catch a Pokémon and add it to my team instead of catching half a dozen of them before I can find a non-gimped example.
> Take off your nostalgia blinders faggot, I did a long time ago and it's been a great experience.I’m playing Gen 2 right now on my 3DS and having fun, because I can enjoy the games for what they are and not get hung up on gimmicky shit like muh following pokemans or whatever.
