You should check it out. It's tough, but still fun. Just be sure to use Pokémon from a GSC cart, as the Rentals stink. :P
The character expressions and dialog are one of Stadium 2's biggest improvements over the previous one. Makes it feel like you're actually battling these characters.
The Champion model that the likes of Steven and Cynthia were based on originated with Lance. In RBY, the Champion was simply whoever beat the E4 before you (Blue, in this case). Lance was the first Champion to be a friendly mentor figure, and they basically recycled that trait with most of the later Champions (again, particularly Steven and Cynthia.)
Despite this, though, Lance doesn't get even a fraction of the attention and credit that Steven and Cynthia get. :( Unlike them, he's never appeared outside of his home region (no, I don't count the PWT), and neither FRLG or HGSS did as much to promote him as ORAS did Steven. He even got cheated out of a Nendoroid action figure, which literally every single other pre-Gen 5 Champion besides Wallace got.
He also hasn't been seen or heard from in the anime since 2004, making him the only pre-Gen 4 Champion to have no appearances past AG. Even Clair has more appearances than him, let alone Cynthia and Steven.
It depends. I'm no fan at all of the more ugly/aggressive/stereotypical Dragons from later gens like Salamence, Garchomp, Haxorus, and the Box Legendaries. But, I love the more unique Dragons like Kingdra, Flygon, Altaria, the Latis, and of course, Dragonite.
You can easily see how Dragonite is a very fitting Pokémon for Lance when you read some of its Pokédex entries:
Red/Blue:
An extremely rarely seen marine Pokémon. Its intelligence is said to match that of humans.
Gold:
It is said that this Pokémon constantly flies over the immense seas and rescues drowning people.
Ruby/Sapphire:
Dragonite is capable of circling the globe in just sixteen hours. It is a kindhearted Pokémon that leads lost and foundering ships in a storm to the safety of land.
