>>51249205>I could never forget most johtomons on account of how shafted they got.If the recently translated DrLava interview is true then common belief that Game Freak hates Gen2 mons has been proven true. Apparently, Sugimori hated that higher ups kept getting involved in Gen2's creation. He even throws the entire gen under the bus by saying Gen 2 had a lot of "kiddy filler" or something like that, and how Gen 3 mons were made to "return coolness to the series".
>bad stats, bad typing, appears to late to be useful, appears at a low level on the final stretch of the gamMost of what you said is true. However bad typing's aren't really a Gen 2 specific problem, and statwise most Gen 2 mons weren't that bad on release. The issue is that Gen 2 mons are significantly less likely to get many of the fancy new toys or gimmicks that every other gen's mons get.
