Water GiverI never lie
Its even worst in the og gbc's
A lot of gen 2 is focused on post game n its heavily overtuned for it to be "balance" but it way over does it plus the post game is short af (n imo its unessary since how much kanto is gimped af in gen 2) so it doesnt even make much sense, unlike in the gen 5 games it does make sense - since those games are naturally long so they built the pokemon leveling to be way later as a way to pace and it actually works there n everything feels more natural where gen 2 pacing feels forced n off, plus they "balanced" gen 5 by pokemon evolve levels instead of arbitrary pokemon placements or handicapping the wild/gyms which works way better in a standalone playthrough of the og region/gen they belong too (and gen 5 pokemon even in their first stage most have good stats unlike gen 2 so youre not stuck with a bunch of weak mfs that can barely hit or stay alive).
S*** is dumb. i love gen 2 pokemon but dislike the games themselves overall even tho there are things i like about such as the story and events etc, just the region layout, pacing, gen 2 pkmn stats and balancing piss me off. And never able to get Houndour for my journey unless i trade (which isnt always accessible plus it'll level up way way faster than everyone else) has always pissed me off even as a kid.
Hope one day we get a cool remixed version of gen 2 like with lets go for gen 1 n Arceus legends for gen 4. Would help a lot n bring the region/era to its full potential.
There's dope ass fan remixes n remakes of those tho that are awesome, mostly of the gbc ogs but a few of hgss too. Would say to look into those. My personal favs for GBCs are Polished Crystal n Crystal Clear while for hgss its GS Chronicles.
In terms of gens regarding their games, gen 3, gen 1 n gen 5 are my top 3, gen 8 and gen 4 are in the middle while gen 2, gen 7 & gen 6 are my bottom 3. Gen 6 being an absolute stinker besides mega evolution. Megas and a handful of new pokemon are all i like about gen 6 while i hate literally everything else lmao.
I havent played gen 9 yet waiting to cop the dual pack for Christmas for myself and a nephew.
What don’t you like about the region layout? I don’t think Johtos the best region but it’s still pretty good to explore imo. Hoenn’s the best tho :jordansmile:

maxxingLmao the last 2 posts is people complaining about being underleveled in the classic games and over leveled in the new games. Proof you can’t please everybody.
Well everybody know about Johto's issues. You're comparing someone who's playing a remake of a 12 year old game that faithfully remade the weird level scale of Gold and Silver to a new issue that recently popped up after Gen 7. They had a pretty good consist system up until Gen 8. Between Gen 3-7 it was pretty hard to be underleveled and the level scale was fine. It's not about pleasing everybody and moreso about how GF just screwed up a system that wasn't broken within the last 5 years.
HGSS just weirdly remade the level scale from Gen 2, while fixing other issues Gen 2 had.

Scarlet and Violet an 8/10 and sword and shield a 5/10 imo, one of the worst Pokémon games ever

What makes them ass? Are they not similar to like a 3D version of the typical original type of games?

Yeah, but for a 3d Switch game the old Pokemon type of games doesn't really cut it. Besides the wild area, which is open world, but looks like s***, the game is completely linear and the world is not that interesting to explore.
Even with all the issues, the open world in S/V is great to explore, the new Pokemon designs are much better than the new Pokemon in Sw/Sh, etc.
Scarlet/Violet is better, by far.

Dammit sorry bro. I got extremely busy with work and the new baby

Ehhhh. I would recommend play both. You may end up enjoying Sword and Shield and disliking SV or vise versa. SV is fun, but some people are hyping it up like it's the greatest Pokemon game made. Both are kind of mid, it's just SV has an addictive game play loop with it's open world.
I would recommend you play both and form your own opinion.
