Why does Game Freak hate the Gen 2 starters so much?

Meganium was what killed gen 2 of getting anything.

Gen 2 had the misfortune of being the first remakes after the 4th Gen physical/special split.
That, in addition to being on the DS, which feels much more convenient to transfer pokemon from than the GBA, means we won't be seeing Gen 2 attention again for a very, very long time.

I could see a 1st gen remake and a 4th gen remake far before a 2nd gen one.

2nd gen starters will see attention from GF when it's profitable to do so again.

Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr are PU, RU, and UU.
Serperior, Emboar, and Samurott are OU, RU, and NU.

On average, the Gen V starters are higher.

Gen 2 was a mistake

Johto was my one of my favorite regions but it's definitely a black sheep in the series.

Cramming Kanto into GSC was an interesting and fun idea but it left Johto in a weird limbo where it never quite felt strong enough or long enough as its own adventure. Not even in the remake.

>Typhlosion and Feraligatr actually have pretty good movepools
>Okay you're right on this one

Why are Johtoddlers so whiny about their starters not becoming as annoyingly saturated as the current genwunner pandering

Typhlosion is my favorite pokemon ever, and first one I've trained to 100. This really upsets me, I was so sure he would be (finally) receiving some any love with Sun and Moon.

No it didn't. It had 1 shitty region and 1 gimped region.

16 badges doesn't mean shit anyways. The level curve was so basic you could beat Johto's league with level 30 pokemon.

johto is a good region though, it has a great atmoshpere, good pokemon selection, as much content as kanto if not more, lots of side areas, some of the best gym fights in the series etc

agree kanto was bad though it was somewhat fixed in hg/ss along with the level curve

The Gen 2 starters suck. They're the poster boys for "it just gets bigger and angrier", especially Typhlosion.

Hope you enjoy encountering mostly Kanto Pokemon that you never find in the wild above level 14 even while you're right at the last gym.
