It feels lonely compared to gold and silver. Minimal changes for a third version unless you lived in Japan, no Mareep, and Suicune just isn't as cool as the birds. I can see why pokemania fell off here

It didn't need to change much because Gold & Silver were already near perfection.

Didn't GS also have the room decorations or does Crystal just have more of them

The fuck? Suicune is both way cooler, AND you get both birds in Crystal. Plus, netting Suicune in a guaranteed battle means that's one less roamer you need to spend hours tracking down and securing.

The way they move is really cool and soulful though.

Unlike the soulless way they do in Emerald/Fire Red.

yeah I was kinda pissed when they started squishing and stretching the sprites because that animation style is so fucking corny and looks sooooooo shit like every fucking pokemon is flubber. also that's the kind of lazy shit I did when I was like 10 animating in flash so it just looks like amateur fucking childish dog shit to me.

Crystal was the first to introduce some kino features that were improved in later games (animated battle sprites, female trainer option, the Battle Tower). It was also the first to make a legendary a bigger part of the story with the Suicune quest (rather than the legendaries being hidden away in caves for the player to discover on their own).

But apart from that yeah it still pretty underwhelming as a third version.

I remember at the time it was announced my Poketism didn't like Suicune being elevated to box legendary, it felt weird and the dogs didn't feel "on the same level" as Ho-oh and Lugia in my mind

It's especially underwhelming that they made gave it a larger capacity GBC cart only to not do much with the extra space aside from animations

You can catch both birds regardless of which version of the gen 2 games you play.

Suicune got sidelined for Celebi in the 4th movie too since the anime staff abandoned the shows GS ball arc it was supposed to be part of.

From the 4th movie onwards all the movies were about shilling a mythical Pokémon or a new Pokémon from the upcoming generation.

Pokemania fell off way before Crystal was released in the west
