>>22284170>Exp learning curve is shitnot really, outside of the red fight its pretty fine and the e4 rematch/gym leader rematch fixes that
you really, really don't need to grind to beat red
>Most Johto-mons are also shit (inb4 "this one exception tho")a lot of the ones you come across in the main game are either god tier (skaramory, heracross, crobat, mareep, all the legendaries) or can fill in some niche slot in your team
>Plot is weakthere isn't really much of a plot, more like side stories happening along the way
i thought team rocket was handled very well, they weren't doing some full retard end of the world shit and they actually felt desperate and delusional enough to be a threat
silver was handled well
>Lore and mystery isn't fleshed out enoughit's the best in the entire series because it's fleshed out exactly enough
having 20 fucking characters come up and tell you how special x pokemon is doesn't make it special, it needs to FEEL special and to date the gen 2 legendaries have been the only pair to actually pull this off
