>>36491540I've been replaying it recently, and Crystal is definitely not as good as a lot of people remember it being. Granted, it's still a lot better than the Gen 6/7 games, but that's not saying a lot.
>Tediously slow level scaling; by the time you get through Johto's eight gyms, enemy pokemon are barely pushing level 30, and pretty much the entire time your pokemon are very overleveled. >Movesets are absurdly limited; some pokemon, like electrode, don't even learn a move of their typing outside of TMs>Speaking of moves, moves are still split into physical/special by typing, so any pokemon whose main attack stat doesn't match their typing is practically useless>NPCs rarely use Johto pokemon and tend to resort to repeats very often, giving stupid teams like a ghastly, two haunters, and a gengar, completely ignoring Misdreavus, and Lance's infamous three dragonites.>In general, gen 2 pokemon seem weirdly uncommon.>No Safari Zone>By the way, you still can't run.A lot of these problems have to do with the fact that it's an old game, but they still stand as valid complaints if we're gonna be comparing them all.
