Just pick what stands out to you as you play or just solo run with your starter. Why do you need other people to decide your interests?

Pick whoever you want dude. You already have a Surf-user if you're picking Totodile, so that's a basic necessity covered. Maybe get a Fly-user for convenience. Beyond that, just use what seems fun. You don't have to restrict yourself to gen 2 mons if none of them jump out to you. The best Johto mon is Quagsire, but you probably don't need that if you're using Totodile.

Be prepared to become bored of your mind

Gen 2 isn’t bad on its own, but it is definitely the most overhyped Gen there is. Most of the Pokémon to catch are boring and shitty, and the evil team is a failing team rocket that took over a radio tower no one cares about and giovanni doesn’t show up anyway so it’s all moot

Or you can play any other Pokémon game where the “world building” consists of an evil team that’s actually a worthwhile adversary

You Gen 2 fags try so hard to spin Johto to be much more than it ever was. It’s the most underwhelming region followed by kalos

I listed objective reasons Johto is underwhelming. If you feel otherwise try elaborating with some logic instead of just calling people zoomers because you can’t think of an actual response

Pick up a flaafy on the route to the south-west of the third town, above where a guy stops you if you haven't bested falkner, the first gym leader. I'd also take the time to try and get a Larvitar in the cave just to the east of that town (north of Mr. Pokemon's house). It's a Pseudo and is very powerful if you take the time to raise it. You might also want a flying type - Spearow or pidgey - to deal with the second gym leader bugsy. Without cyndaquil, you'll need a way to take out his bugs. Wooper is a good water/ground hybrid to pick up if you can find it, but with Totodile you should be fine in that regard.

Mind you, this is if you want stuff that's going to give you an edge and might be skewed by me being used to harder romhacks. If you're playing SoulSilver vanilla, pick whatever you like and just overlevel the fuck out of it.

I can tell this is bait because you just scribbled a line through all of them instead of actually looking at them and crossing them off one by one. Even though you are a fucking retard I am going to recommend Lanturn Politoed Azumarill Gliscor Steelix Scizor Skarmory smeargle miltank blissey any of the beasts and any legends. I would also recommend starting with typphlosion because as you can see in that pick there are like 2 other fire types to choose from and they're both shitty vs the million of cool new rain + water mons introduced in gen 2

My best advice is try getting lucky eggs as soon as possible, maybe even trading them from DPPt or something. It's no fun if you just battle trainer and never grind then you get powercreeped by Elite 4. I already tried with lucky eggs and it made huge difference.

I cheated though, so I can get Larvitar as early as Goldenrod.

Not necessary for a good Pokémon game and even screwed some mons like Typhlosion losing Special ThunderPunch.
>Has all the events from Crystal as well as a bunch of new stuff
You mean the Kimono girls who interrupt you all the time and slow things down?
>Access to more pokemon
(this one is a plus)
>Has pokewalking, one of if not the best feature gamefreak ever put in a game
It's nice, but calling it one of the best features they've ever put in a game is excessive.
>Has Abilities, Natures, and uses the more refined IV/EV system instead of the DV system
Abilities are a plus, but Natures are debatably a downside and IVs/EVs are DEFINITELY a downside.
>Less buggy and jank
What bugs and "jankness" are you referring to that makes Gen 2 so unplayable?
>Doesn't look like outdated dogshit
This is subjective and also wrong because Gen 2's visuals still hold up and are very charming.

HGSS aren't bad games but calling them the definitive versions is pretty retarded.

Those characters are present as a detail a guide for kids who didn't know how and where to find the legendaries.
Yes, it may sound handsholding, but when I was a kid I personally enjoyed the presence of the Kimono Girls, because in the battle and in the path to the legendaries it made me felt less alone and a little more safe to confront Ho-Oh/Lugia (in base of what game you take and fight first).
