Ho-Oh and Lugia locked behind the postgame
Both Ho-Oh and Lugia are at lvl 60, long past their signature moves and there's no Move Reminder in Gen 2
The only reason it exists is online capabilities that were cut off in western releases, making it the most lazy and pointless entry in the whole franchise.
Bonus:
It was an opportunity to fix many shortcomings of Gold and Silver (make Unowns and Ruins of Alph not useless, fix levels of trainers and wild Pokemon, make use of the dropped DMG Gameboy compatibility and bring back the full-sized Kanto) but it addressed none of them.
