>>51968819>The reality is that most of the cut Pokemon weren't cut because of lack of spaceActually this kind of is the issue. Gen 2 could only support 253 Pokemon total unless the engine was rewritten to support 9-bit (which people are doing now).
>but because they were simply weaker designsSome I'll concede to are weaker, but I think a signifigant amount are not only still strong, but easily superior to what gamefreak has put out in recent years. Stuff like the berserker or the black cat would've been wildly popular in Pokemon's hayday, up to today.
>and far too many baby Pokemon to be enjoyableSome feel redundant and are useless, but I still like ones like the baby Paras which really fleshes out Paras' evolution line story. Tangela's and Meowths are cute too.
