Gen 2 is peak soul. It improved on the formula without taking anything away.
>The Pokémon designs were cute, simple and well executed.
>The starter Pokémon were still monsters and didn’t have giant round heads.
>The music is instantly recognizable for the right reasons.
>The game features two regions with 16 total gym leaders.
>Introduced the extremely comfy day and night cycle that some recent soulless games don’t even have.
>Also had week days with events rewarding you for taking your time on your adventure.
>Plenty of caves and structures with many floors to get lost in finding key items.
>Pokeball crafting system way ahead of its time.
>Difficult to find, and catch legendary Pokémon that all have extremely neat/cool designs and mythos.
>Introduced shiny Pokémon with the perfect freebie for players in a fan favorite- Gyarados.
>Gym leaders were just as memorable, some arguably more than Gen 1. Now there’s like two per game.
I could list eighty more reasons why GSC are peak soul and the greatest games, but this is enough. I love Gen 2.
