[2/2]

GSC have real problems with team building for two reasons.
Number one, available TMs are far from good. Blizzard got nerfed hard and lack of Ice Beam hurts. Dig got nerfed. Rock Slide isn't a TM in gen 2 which sucks. Moves like Fury Cutter, Nightmare, Detect, Defense Curl, Dynamicpunch and Zap Cannon suck. All of the good moves are either in Goldenrod (elemental punches, Fire Blast, elemental punches and Return) or far in the game (e.g. Sludge Bomb and Earthquake).
Number two, some Pokemon have really obnoxious ways of obtaining them. Either low percentage to find them (e.g. Dunsparce) or bonkers requirements (e.g. trade evos and Hitmontop). Personally, I can deal with most of these, however I can't defend throwing so many Pokemon into postgame (EVERY SINGLE DARK POKEMON in GS).
The whole segment of the game with Team Rocket is obnoxious and makes me think GameFreak should just stop with evil organisation subplot. About 90 minutes of your playtime is spent fighting the same NPCs with the same Pokemon in two areas while you listen two the same themes all the time.
I don't mind level curve being fucked since it only concerns small portion of the game. If you choose to go west from Ecruteak then the problem only occurs near Mahogany and stops in Blackthorn.
