Yellow and crystal

Yellow has all the starters obtainable and is quite harder also the storyline differs in a unique ya that you dont see in the remakes :).

Kinda the same for crystal plus its not centered on one of the two ho-oh or lugia. Suicune is also my fav legendary dog ;)

I liked Blue and Gold.

Yellow had no Magmar, Beedrill, or Raichu, unless traded over. Anyone else miss Beedrill? Bug type was Super-effective on about 1/3 of the pokemon species in the game, including poison-type, though none of the moves had much power.

Crystal had too much emphasis on Suicune, in my opinion, and Ho-oh was my favorite Gen 2 legendary, even if rock-type does get 4x damage.

When it comes to my favorite 1st and 2nd gen Pokemon games, I would have to go with Blue and Silver. Mainly because they were the first two ones I owned.

1st Gen Games: Blue. I played it quite a bit as a kid and I never got tired of it. Although, I'm more interested in the absurd amount of glitches in the 1st Gen Games.

2nd Gen Games: None. These games bore me to death with their mediocre Pokémon and slow-paced gameplay. However, if I were forced to pick, it would be Crystal. Why this game in particular? Because Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal is very hilarious. x)

Yeah, the loss of Gyarados, for one, really hurt. Yes, I know it was still technically in the game, but splitting the special stat hurt it so badly it lost its style. Wouldn't have been so bad if the higher special stat had been Sp Atk. Let's face it, even with Sp Def being higher, it still can't take even weak electrical moves very well.

Crystal and Red.

See. Pokemon Crystal is basically Gold and Silver..but better! ^_^

I always pick Crystal over any of the Gen 2 games. It had much more to do and I could play as a girl for the first time too. O.O Crystal is one of my favorite Pokemon Games. It's a shame it didn't get a remake unlike Gold and Silver.

For me, it's got to be Gold, Silver, and Crystal. They have included many new features, and had also given us access to Kanto throughout the end to top it all off, which I believed to be pretty cool. As for first generation games, I'll likely have to side with Yellow; although you cannot get any original Red, Blue, and Green starter Pokémon from get-go, you're still able to get your hands on them as you progress through events and whatnot. Also, Professor Oak gives you Pikachu, which follows you around wherever you go; simply adorable!

Yellow and Crystal. For some reason I just much prefer the third games to their predecessors, the difficulty usually seems increased and obviously there are expanded features.

Yellow and Gold. Yellow because you had all the starters which was wow, and then I don't know something just always pulled me in to Gold, I had Silver and crystal, but I never played them near as much as I played Gold. I just preferred Gold for some reason, even now I prefer it.

Red and Gold for me. I remember spending hours on the original red and I even had the remake of it. And gold because I spent my own money for it when I was kid. I think that was the first game I ever bought myself.

I have to say Yellow for generation I. Being able to get all the starters was my little kid dream come true. I really love how it correlated with the anime which is something I really identified with at that time/age. Only thing that made me sad was that Brock and Misty never traveled with you, but I can understand why that didn't happen now that I'm older looool...

My favorite game for Generation II was Silver. It was the first main series Pokemon game I beat and the first game I trained a Pokemon to level 100 on. I also preferred the sprites and version exclusives on Silver.. mainly Vulpix if we're going to be honest.

1 gen game is Yellow, and 2 nd generation would be Crystal
Yellow and Crystal. Like many others.
I have to echo you. Yellow was the first Gen 1 game I played and I couldn't really enjoy the gray Red/Blue after that. It was a bit annoying to have Pikachu after a while, but at least you could get all the other starters as well!

As for Gen 2, I played Gold a lot and am not sure I ever truly finished Crystal. But the things Crystal improved - such as less annoying phone calls and the option to finally play as a girl (!) were so good that it wins against the Gold/Silver versions. Also moving sprites which I still love, even better than the modern models in 3D.
