Crystal is my favorite game too. I consider it the ultimate nostalgic game because it is the culmination of gen 1 & 2. Whenever I just want to go on an adventure without thinking about Natures/Abilities/EVs and shit I just pop out Crystal.
The first real 3rd version. Yellow doesn't count because it's a lot more based on the anime and has some questionable changes that aren't necessarily better than Red/Blue.
>>36531261The only real flaw of Crystal (and generation 2 in general) is the low-level curve. It has excellent distribution as well, I don't give a shit if a couple dark-types are end-game, the vast majority of routes, caves and lakes have a bunch of different Pokémon. If you stop and go check nooks and crannies you can find all sorts of cool shit. Like Phanpy or Poliwag early on, Teddiursa in Dark Cave, Growlithe east of Violet city, and a bunch of other stuff that you can find early on in GSC but are considered end-game in RBY.
So yeah the only disappointing thing about Johto is the low-level curve. Everything else is perfect. Also I'm gonna shill for PokéOne and tell you faggots to hop in this cool MMORPG. You can decide to start in Kanto or Johto, I didn't doubt for a second and picked Johto.
