>Gen 2 is bad because Gen 2 Pokémon are hard to find
Quite possibly the most retarded parroted take on this board and a literal case of actual revisionism at play. Gen 2 was conceived as an expansion to Gen 1 where, in-universe, Gen 2 Pokémon had been discovered in the past 3 years or were being discovered by the player. Being rare and hard to find is the entire point, to make the player feel like they're discovering new species. You're not supposed to blaze through Johto with a team of Johto Pokémon, you're supposed to have a decent mix of Gen 1 and 2.
There are literally no distribution problems in Gen 2 because it's not playing by the same rules as Gen 3 onwards, which all function as soft reboots. Gen 2 was an actual sequel, where the memory of the original is honored and not replaced. If you want, you CAN use Johto only Pokémon but most of them aren't supposed to be easy to come across.
