>>38033343I really like Gen 2 games.
HGSS are good too. They felt like very ambitious games at the time, even with the barebones Kanto. They probably could have fleshed it out if they could do more with the GB cart size.
Crystal in particular was pretty ambitious even if we didn’t see that as westerners. The communications center that was taken out was basically Gen 4’s wifi system, with the downside that it needed a cell phone service to run. This was pretty ahead of its time even if it didn’t turn out as well as GF hoped; the idea was the important part in retrospect.
