At the time I hated a lot of the new designs (especially didn't like the starters) and the new types + SpAtk/SpDef split nerfed my favorite mons. Now there's just nothing to care about because I started being vaguely interested in competitive in Gen 3, and Gen 1 speedrunning is at least somewhat interesting, but Gen 2 is just...there. i mean it fixed all the core issues of gen 1 which were already incredibly good games. it implemented almost all of the core gameplay mechanics we have today. night & day cycle, modern backpack, roaming pokemon, move deleter, breeding, shinies, special split, etc. the only things missing are abilities, modern EVs/IVs, fairy type and megas. gen 2 and it's remakes are still the only games to feature 2 regions also fuck megas. easily the single worst thing that's been added to pokemon. things that need to go in gen 7 are terrible moving camera, multiple rivals, saving the world from legendary pokemon storylines, romantic interests between playable characters. oh and while we're at it, stop making legendaries only accessible by mystery gift. i hate going to gamestop and having a rare legendary just put on my game cartridge. | ||

I already stated that I acknowledged it's importance. Just that at the time I didn't like it as much, and in retrospect I don't personally have a reason to go back to it either, so on the whole Gen2 is the most "meh" from the standpoint of my personal experience. | ||

There are a handful of reasons this could happen, some 'legit'(probably depends on your point of view) and some(most) very much not so at all(I mean, they are technically sound in a sense but they still involve trying to cheat the system so they make for awful excuses). Also, rumors/reports are out that he tested positive for at least one steroid level anti-estrogen, which essentially no man on the planet will be taking without also being currently or very recently on a test based steroid cycle. So ya, shocker of the century, freakish mammoth of a human being/athlete has used/does use/will continue to use steroids. | ||

Some of my favorites for sure in gen 2; Houndoom, Honchkrow, Tyranitar, Skarmory, Kingdra, Scizor... easy access to shit like Hitmonchan, Lapras, Dratini, ghastly etc. Only thing it was missing was move dependant special / physical attackstrength instead of type dependant. Otherwise gen 2 stands the test of time quite well. On a competitive note it was also nice that entrance traps weren't really a thing. You could play stuff like charizard withought weird having to construct niche block+spin+pass comps that otherwise just get wrecked by Stealth rocks. They need more type variety in entrance hazards otherwise it pairs down typing too much. It sucks not being able to play shit because anyone you can't beat with your eyes closed will have SR. | ||
