Oh snap, here comes Gen 2! Talking about any region other than Kanto or Alola is refreshing in its own right thanks to all the Sun and Moon stuff I've seen already.

Rating scale:

Excellent (9-10 stars -

is a 10/10 rating)
Good (7-8 stars)
Servicable (5-6 stars)
Not A Fan (3-4 stars)
Hate (1-2 stars - don't worry about this one. I actually don't hate that many Pokemon.)

Games:
  • Gold, Silver, Crystal (November 21st, 1999)
  • Heartgold, Soulsilver (September 12th, 2009)
I have a ton of fond memories with Gen 2, arguably even more so than Kanto. My journey through Johto was through Crystal, so I don't know how Gold or Silver differ... but still, it was one hell of an experience.

The music is simply amazing and they gave the mechanics the proper fleshing out they deserved. There's genders and held items, they split Special into two stats and introduced the Steel and Dark types... along with everyone's favorite pastime (with one million quotation marks), shiny Pokemon. Not only that, it has easily one of the most extensive postgames in the series due to letting you explore the whole of Kanto!

Sure, all you do is fight the Gym Leaders and go to fight Red at the end, but the fact both regions connected to each other was an amazing prospect in of itself. Heartgold and Soulsilver are also one of the best remakes of a game I've seen in a long time - they're up there with Metroid Zero Mission. (Pokemon following you is the best.)

The Pokemon of Gen 2 seem to be geared more towards mythology, given how there's a lot of magical creatures (Misdreavus, Xatu, Unown, etc.) and emphasis placed on the effect they've had to humans in history (Ho-oh and Lugia's backstories, for one).

It's really cool stuff and I'm glad to share it with you guys.

Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your site in internet explorer, would test this? IE still is the market leader and a big portion of people will miss your excellent writing due to this problem. nclex study guide
