>>40424755Yeah it's not like Gen 2 had a Legendary of it appear in the first episode of the anime.
It's not like two of it's Legendaries had movies about them.
It's not like it has starters who have gotten zero forms of upgrades
It's not like it gave us held items
It's not like it gave us the concept of held item evolutions that gave rise to one of the strongest Bug Pokemon
It's not like it invented the concept of Pokemon breeding mechanics
It's not like it's the game with the best True Final Boss in the franchise
Gen 2 brings absolutely nothing and deserves no respect. It's the generation that gave us a deer pokemon, not something as sacred as ice cream cones and literal trash bags.
