I hate how there is literally ZERO documentation of this thing. Like, it is totally lost to history. I can't find a single photo or video recording of this feature in use at the time.
>First version of the GTS, allowing you to put up a Pokémon for trade, in request for another Pokémon, and see what other players have put up for trade, even being able to search for specific Pokémon.
>Online Battle Tower, you would be able to battle other players against their own teams, and if you battled well enough you could become a Room Leader. It even tracked statistics like how many players you've battled, and there was a Hall of Fame for the top trainers. To this day, a battle facility with these functionalities has never been seen again.
All of this in Gen fucking 2. And nowadays we don't even have an in-game GTS and it's a coin toss if we even get a barebones Battle Tower, all because GAME FREAK can't be arsed anymore.
