2nd Gen You Couldn't Revive Fossils

[Palamon]

Due to Cinnabar Island being gone, reviving fossils in G/S/C was impossible. How did you feel about this? This kind of makes me sad, but it also makes sense since the the lab in Cinnabar is gone.

I actually never really notice this in Generation II, I'm not one to use fossil Pokemon that often (usually only in Sinnoh and Unova) so it's something that passes over my head on most playthroughs. Plus, I think the Johto games have enough features and content to make up for the loss of fossils, it's not something the games needed and ties into the lore of Cinnabar Island being destroyed!

Yeah, it was sad, they could of had wild Omanytes in Gold and Kabutos in Silver
