Gold was the first pokemon game I owned, but I'd played my friend's and my cousin's Yellow when I was younger. I enjoyed trying to fill out the pokedex and battling my overleveled Feraligatr+Ho-oh vs his overleveled Meganium+Lugia.

Please elaborate. I've always wanted to use Ledian, but never felt like it's stats/moves would be useful in gen 2. Where there specific fights you recall it putting in a lot of work?

Ledian is only useful in gen 2 because you get the elemental punch TMs early on which gives you great coverage, and its dual screens really helps its low defense and makes it a special wall. Mine was able to survive a Rock Slide and tank Selfdestructs with its Reflect.
It completely walls Chuck, can do work against Pryce if you set up Light Screen, can help against Clair, and can almost always switch into a Grass type with its x4 resistance.
I've been doing a limited dex challenge run tho so I had to make use of it, Ledian still isn't a great pokemon but in gen 2 it can pull its weight.

Finally finished grinding, that anon's advice in the previous thread about grinding in the S.S. Aqua helped out. I'm surprised I didn't find a shiny while grinding in Mt. Silver
So this is the final team before Red, only 3 of my League team survived, I'm pretty excited to see how it goes. I feel relatively confident about it, the only scary pokemon in his team is either the Snorlax which I will use Gligar against and Blastoise since I don't have a perfect switch in to. Most likely someone will die to get a safe switch into Pikachu.

And Red is defeated, still a pretty tense fight but not as much as Lance's fight, probably because I had decent coverage against Red's team compared to only having a weak Ice type and a bug with Ice coverage against Lance's dragons.
Anyways here's what happened:

>I lead with Pikachu and take care of his with a few Returns. I decided to lead with it and not Gligar so I can bait in his Espeon and not Blastoise, which he does just that.
>I switch to Murkrow, it perfectly counters it since it can only be hit with Swift, and two Faint Attacks take it out. But now the inevitable happens, Red brings in Blastoise.
>I have no safe switch into it at all, and after looking at my team, I decided to sacrifice the good bird to bring in Pikachu, but not after hitting a crit Icy Wind for good measure. Pikachu easily takes it out.
>Next was his Snorlax, so I brought in my Snorlax killer, Gligar. After setting up a couple Curses and fully lowering its defense with Screech, I one-shotted it with Return, perfect.
>His last two were Charizard and Venusaur, so Magcargo can easily come in, tank some Flamethrowers, and take them both out easily.

Probably a good bulky pokemon like Umbreon with Dark/Ghost coverage or Miltank as a strong and fast attacker. You could also use another Water pokemon with extra Ice coverage, maybe Slowbro, Poliwrath, Azumarill, or Octillery if you're playing GS?

I prefer Crystal for the better availability in the earlygame. They're all fine though. I still hate the gen 4 engine but HGSS manages to be tolerable somehow.

How would you guys rate Octillery performance-wise? Not competitively tho.
I'd say its defining feature is its access to good coverage, even learning Ice Beam through level up. Its got good offenseive stats and decent bulk, but it is very slow, fitting for a literal tank octopus.

One of the coolest gen 2 related things I've found was this randomizer called "crystal randofuser". It essentially takes a pokemon and fuses their stats, typing, moves etc. with another pokemon to create a whole new thing. I've done several playthroughs with this randomizer and it really is fun seeing what different fusions you end up with and how they can be used compared to their normal counterparts. pic related, it's my starter in my most recent playthrough

alakazam is always amazing, and has access to fire/ice/and electric moves
geodude singlehandedly deals with falkner (flying), bugsy (bugs), whitney (resists normal and rollout), you should have magnitude by morty, which deals with his half poison types, jasmine (steel). only things that might give you trouble are chuck, pryce, and claire. and then it comes back to shit on koga and lance.

At level 20, with a perfect HP DV, 10 HP Ups, and the stat XP from defeating enough Unowns to go from 5 to 20, a Snorlax has 109 HP.

With Leftovers, this is enough to Rest loop through Dragon Rage with 1 HP to spare at the lowest point in the Rest cycle.

Any advice on patching the 97 Reforged rom? I've downloaded a fresh rom of Gold and am using LunarIPS but every time I test it, it doesn't run on the emulator, just a white screen.

Try a room from a different course/make sure you're using the correct edition

The base rom for patching is Crystal, not Gold or Silver.

Definitely a good Rock or Ground type like Golem, Steelix, Sudowoodo, or Rhydon. Maybe even a Fighting type like Machamp or any of the Hitmons.

Norowara got reworked into Misdreavus. I'm serious, in Spaceworld 99 Demo Misdreavus's name is still Norowara (despite its already finalized design). The documentation in the gigaleak suggests it was a late change (and probably made because of some legal/copyright reasons, rather than design choice).
But I agree, the two should have coexisted.

Wow, that's interesting, it also shows that the common belief that Gen 2 Pokémon were just "gen 1's left overs" is a load of shit. If idea wasn't considered "good enough" for Gen 1, then it wouldn't have made it into Gen 2 without extreme revisions. Fake fans love to act Gen 2 was just some phoned in crap from Gen 1's cutting floor even though Gen 2 had to follow Gen 1 standard while going out to to way to avoid Gen 1 mistakes, If any gen 2 Pokemon has a controversy like Jynx, it would have been erased forever rather than just recolored.
(none of this is to imply that Gen 1 Pokemon are bad, or even that Gen 2 mons are better than Gen 1's, just that Gen1 is not the untouchable standard some retards think it is) .

been thinking of trying out Crystal for the first time on emulator (because fuck those ebay prices, and living in the middle of nowhere makes retro stores unviable)

only problem being I don't have a decent emulator
used to, its icon was a little grey gba with a rainbow of colors on its screen, but at some point I deleted it and I don't remember its name. any better emulators (or the name of that old one) that you can recommend? have heard bgb is decent...

I'd say my special favourite is Bug-Catching Contest.
Rewarding the player for finding rare Pokémon and catching them in a hard way, by giving them items
truly a very well-thought feature, wish more areas were like this in Pokémon games

I did a full trade evo run of Crystal. I mean obviously they were extremely strong but I just wanted to have fun with mons that I had never used before. I only cheated them in once I got the item in game. Itemless trade evos at the elite 4.
To no one's surprise Scizor and Kingdra are busted, despite the fact that the former only learns Fury Cutter as its only bug move. Politoed is whatever, it ended up eating all the water HMs. The hardest carry though was Golem. Geodude destroys early game fights covering Chikorita's weaknesses and in a game where Mareep doesn't exist, especially with gen 2 learnsets where everything has normal moves. Also EQ by leveling up. I don't want to hear how Rock/Ground is a bad type every again.
Thinking of taking them to the Battle Tower just for completionist purposes.
