Oh, it's just the only game of the franchise no one bitches on.

Seriously tho, back then, Pokemon didn't have as many flaws as today because it kept things simple and fun.

For being exactly what it is, is Crystal the best game of the franchise?
Would you come back to it from time to time despite being on GBC?

Wrong. Plenty of people bitch about it.

>>30929737
This + half the areas gone from Kanto are the main complaints. still better than RS's postgame which wasn't fixed until Emerald though lol

Johto in general has a shitty level curve, and not in a way that makes it hard, but in a way that makes it too easy and stifles the satisfaction of watching your Pokemon grow. I don't really give a fuck though myself, Crystal is still one of my favorite entries.

Johto games are very simple. You want an evolution stone? You can't have it. You want Johto pokemon? You can't have them. You want to get to the elite four above level 40 without grinding? You can't. You want to get to Red without grinding and 15 levels below him? You can't either.

Very simple.

Crystal was so bad to the point that people forgot it.

At least the Battle Facility was born from it

I liked Silver more than Crystal. The animations took too long and Eusine was a fag.

Johto not having stones was a very deliberate choice for encouraging trading in Gen 1 through the Link cable

And if you didn't do that you would see that your Eevee would evolve into 1 of 2 Pokémon new Pokémon showing off cross gen evos and happiness evos

It was done very deliberately

Realistically though that Eevee given to you was one of the most brilliant game design choices in the series

>next to day care (with ditto) encouraging breeding
>get it right after backwards comparability is instated advertising going back for stones or other things
>town with Happiness judge/Haircut brothers

Also Espeon and Umbreon are the perfect demonstrations of all of Gen 2's changes

>Day and Night system
>New evolutions
>Happiness for all Pokémon
>Special stat split
>New typing

Gen 2 was made very well asides from the level curve

Crystal actually has Stones pretty easy to find because Game Freak realized how terrible of a decision it was. The encounter tables are greatly improved as well.

Yeah but it still sucked and was still a black mark on the game. Especially since they made certain pokemon stats be opposite to their movepool. If they had compensated for that and for example gave Absol special attack instead of Attack, it woulda been a lot less shitty of a situation.

I never understood why Dark was special and Ghost was physical before the split in Gen 4. Seems like it should have been the other way around. Every Dark move before Gen 4 was physical and half of the non-status Ghost moves were special.

Seriously you miss out on like 70% of GSC without another Handheld w/RBy to trade with.
