Johto Legends - The Second Generation

Olli · Jan 21, 2012

West of Kanto, the Johto region resides. It is home to 100 species of Pokémon.

Johto Legends - The Second Generation is a club dedicated to our dear generation II Pokémon.
They may not be as nostalgic as those of generation I, or as new as those of generation V,
but these Pokémon will always hold a special place in our hearts. Let's give them some love :D

Example
Name: ikaroschase
What you would like others to call you: ikaros
Partner Pokémon: porygon2
Favourite Gen II Pokémon: espeon, umbreon, porygon2, scizor, croconaw
Reason For Joining: i'm in love with silver <3333 LOL jk. It's because it's a whole new world we live in :DDD I think that the starters in generation II are unique in the sense that they stay mono-typed instead of developing a second type like other starters. This generation also consists of many awesome pokémon, including the new evolutions of generation I pokémon. and i love silver ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ*:･ﾟ✧

note:
- you may have up to 2 partner pokémon when you sign up.
- your partner pokémon MUST be the first stage of an evolution line as there is an evolution system.
- e.g chikorita ✔ bayleef/meganium ✘
- unless your chosen partner pokémon's pre-evolution is not part of generation II
- e.g crobat's pre-evolve form, zubat/golbat, is not part of generation II according to the national dex. hence, crobat is acceptable.

Partner Pokémon: Kumo the Spinirak and Koumori the Gligar <3
Favourite Gen II Pokémon: Spinirak!
Reason For Joining: Generation II had some amazing Pokemon and some great new content was brought to the table. The idea of baby Pokemon was a wonderful addition, and the Gold and Silver remakes were make favourite games of all! Plus the Johto Pokemon just seem to be very well thought out and interestingly designed, as opposed to other regions such as Unova. It's a whole new world we live in ;D

Partner Pokémon: Crobat! ( I read the rules, I know this is acceptable because it is a whole new world we live in.
Favourite Gen II Pokémon: Crobat.
Reason For Joining: There exists only one reason, and one reason I shall give.

CROBAT

on topic: I like Ho-oh the most, since it has great design, great concept (rainbows!) and a good stat distribution. Least, however, is Entei. He never grew on me. LOL.

On trivia:

now PM

and some pictures of Scizor! :)

ikaroschase · Jan 21, 2012

welcome to the club, both of you (:
sorry for the slow update. i'll try to be faster next time :/

@ozzy hgss is my favourite too! :3 i like how players can interact with their pokemon :D oh and the userbar i have in mind would most probably be featuring the baby pokemon(:

@miltankRancher oh boy you're fast! \(OuO)/ 60 points already :D i love crobat too <3 but i never got one, sadly. i intend to train one after i'm done replaying pokemon black :P

Which legendary Pokémon of generation II do you like most/least and why?

i like lugia the most <3333 especially its shiny sprite :D it's the guardian of the seas while ho-oh is the guardian of the skies. did anyone watch the episode where there was a baby lugia? it's so cute ><

as for entei... well i do like fire types, but it doesn't appeal to me neither :/

ikaroschase · Jan 21, 2012

welcome to the club, Olli! :D good to see you around here (:
it's good to know that you like the generation II pokemon a lot :3
unlike many of us the first game i ever played was pokemon firered OTL
i really admired my cousins who had both pokemon crystal and silver.
in the end i had my first try at it on an emulator ^^ but that was many years later:/

anyways, you could participate in the current topic if you want to (:

Thanks for the welcome! :)

Favourite:

Least favourite:

I love Entei! It looks so powerful and impressive, a big favourite of mine. And it offers some interesting moves and stats to use as well! Raikou however... To me it looks awful. D: Its design is very unappealing, I think that's mainly due to the purple cloud thing on its back... Without that I think it'd look pretty good!

This my favourite picture of Scizor, I find it adorable <3

I was really impressed with how much the Pokémon designs had improved. They had fixed the original designs, so they weren't as super ugly as they had been in the first games, and the new designs were also super good, but there were some exceptions though (Raikou >_<).

i looked it up and here's what i got.

raikou actually looks okay :D oh and i think i take back what i said about entei. this old sprite of entei's reminds me of a large fluffy dog ><
edit: i've been staring at raikou's sprite for the past few minutes and now i think it kind of looks like a walrus LOL :D

@ozzy i think i understand how you find entei appealing now :D i want to hug it! (: and that scizor is such a cutie ><

It's a bit hard choosing from a generation with so few legendaries, but I already know which ones I'm gonna choose.

My favourite legendary from Johto is Lugia. I have a lot of great memories from my time with it, and it was a beast while battling. In a short amount of time it became my all-around favourite Pokémon. Even though it isn't my favourite Pokémon anymore, it still remains as my favourite legendary.

The one I like the least shouldn't really be that hard to guess, even though my opinions on it is a little mixed. Raikou's G/S design is really bad, bad enough to be the legendary I like the least from the second generation. Now, as its design was improved later on, I began to like it more and more, even though I still found its design to be slightly weird. They changed its appearance from ugly to cool-looking imo, as I think Raikou's current design makes it look rather cool. But even with all the improvements, Raikou is still gonna have this place, mainly because its original design was so horrid.

I agree that Raikou looks fine on those pics, but that's also because those are the sprites from Crystal where their designs were improved. I'm not sure if this is even going to change you view, but this is Raikou's sprite from Pokémon Gold.

Pretty ugly if you ask me ;|

Name: Curious
Partner Pokémon: Heracross
Favourite Gen II Pokémon: I've got 3 actually, Skarmory, Scizor and Heracross, mainly ebcause I love the colours and the disgns of all 3, they're cool, steamline and tough. Especially with some of the moves they can learn.
Reason For Joining: I've grown up with the second gen and I will always have a warm spot for it out of all the generations. <3

'it's a whole new world we live in"

Its a whole new place to seee..

ikaroschase · Jan 21, 2012

@Olli YAY another lugia fan! \(OuO)/ welcome on board, mate :D
i think the reason that raikou looks ugly because that was the original design?
well i noticed they edited it.

"image removed"

i guess it's missing whiskers :3 and its fangs are really small.

welcome curious, good to see you here ^^ i hope you enjoy your stay here.
meanwhile here is the current topic: Which legendary Pokémon of generation II do you like most/least and why?

as for the new topic: Which of the baby Pokémon do you like the most? :D

curiousnathan · Jan 21, 2012

Firstly, I like the all the legendaries in Johto, they're isn't too many of them nor is their too little, and I've found that they have the most colourful and creative designs out of all generations. B/W ones are disgusting excluding meloetta (can't spell) imo; My favourite either being celebi or Ho-oh as Ho-oh was my first legendary I caught on BGC. For the worst...I'd probably say, none of them. All of they're designs are amazing, and equally beautiful.

I'd say with the baby pokemon, I like..togepi the most. Simply because I love its design which leaves me curious as to what is behind that shell of its.

miltankRancher · Jan 21, 2012

Raikou for me is meh. Since I never bothered to catch it in any of my game (and that is a lot, GSC, FRLG, and HGSS). Entei meanwhile...

This sprite does not appeal to me. Yes, it looked like this meme.

but i love his BW shiny sprite though!

if entei is only colored like this one, I would love it.

On topic meanwhile:

My favorite would be Togepi, since it is so cute, and is pretty fun to use with Metronome!

i love how he is flailing his arms and such.

also, I think you forgot

ikaroschase · Jan 22, 2012

woops \(OuO)/ i only saw the top LOL.
done editing the post :D thanks miltankRancher (:

@Curious wow its rare that someone likes all of the legendaries in gen II :D most people don't like raikou or entei ):
it's a little off topic but yeah i don't really like the designs of the kami trio either.

Which of the baby Pokémon do you like the most? :D

i have a soft spot for cleffa :D i think the way its ears twitch is really cute ><

miltankRancher · Jan 22, 2012

sure, ikaros. Anything. :)

anyway, looking through several entei sprites for a few minutes, I suddenly decided Raikou is my least favorite.

it is so fluffy.
