undefined>every single gym is dedicated to a type with only 1-2 evolutionary lines none of which are new to gen 2 BRAVO GAMEFREAK>>11443079 Gen2 is an expansion not a replacement to gen1>>11443083 Don't bother trying to explain this to zoomers with post Johto brainrot, I've come to believe they're unable to understand late 90s pokemania and what GS was going for.>>11443065 I think the difficulty so much lower than the first gen games bring gentoo down. By the time you get to Kanto youll just steamroll everything until you fight Red. Any ideas about why they made the game so easy?>>11443161 you were probably intended to pick up new pokemon from the new choices in kanto. gen 2 definitely feels like it leans more into collecting than battling.>>11443167 Well, yeah, Tajiri's vision of Pokemon was about collecting first and foremost. It was Masuda that started pushing for a harder focus on battles, and it's telling that his first time as full director in Crystal introduces the Battle Tower.>>11443065 Its a shame the japanese Crystal version relied so heavily on the mobile system that doesnt exist anymore. No free egg, no battle tower, no poke news>>11443065 Yes>>11443167 Because you gotta catch 'em all, faggot. You catch 'em then you select your favorites and then you battle like an OG at Stadium 2.
That was the way is meant to be played.>>11443338 "Schnapp' sie dir alle!" It was Pokémon slong WORLDWIDE, faggot; Spanish, French, German, English, you name it, it was the same slong localized to each region.
Where you from, faggot? North Korea?>>11443345 Japan was just "Get Pokemon." That's all that matters.>>11443347 how do you get pokémon? enlighten us, our otaku brother in Christ.>>11443357 There's a marked difference between getting pokemon in general, say enough to build a team, and literally catching all of them. I hope you're intelligent enough to understand this, but you're probably a bot. >slong>>11443359 After you get enough pokemon to build a team the slogan is still "Get Pokemon">>11443365 Which you did. You fulfilled the marketing slogan for your corporate masters.Sounds like... you gotta catch 'em all.i feel like ruby sapphire was peak for me>>11443083 This. It's Pokemon 2. It baby sits its lore to not just go full into the idea of their being more pokemon. New pokemon had to be hard to find or require new mechanics to unlock.>>11443065 I had Silver and Crystal as a kid but I don't think I ever finished them, I think I got very bored of Pokemon by that point.
