>>56081458Yes, Gen 2 is a massive upgrade over Gen 1:
>introduced Steel/Dark>held items>special stat split>breeding>shiny pokemon>cross-gen evos improved Gen 1 shitmons like Onix and Porygon>pockets were added to the bag to make inventory management not such a fucking chore>HM's can used without going through the menu>move deleter so you can get rid of HM moves>moves now have descriptions >first move tutor (Crystal)>menus in general are nicer to navigate>mystery gift (the way it worked in Gen 2 was a prelude to record mixing)>day/night cycleI know zoomers like shitting on Johto for clout, but I think people forget that these were 1MB Gameboy games. Gold and Silver blew peoples' expectations out of the water upon release. Personally, I think their pros far outweigh their cons.
