I, too, love the Pokemon designs of Gens 2 and 5 the most and am a fan of Hugh (even though it seems like Hugh fans are rare), but I'll admit I don't like the Gen 5 games all that much. As for Gen 2, while not my favorite because the level progression is indeed bad, the region itself is fun to explore, offering a wide variety of optional areas and unique biomes. Unova feels so empty, I think the story structure of Black and White 1 does a lot to temper all the flat, linear routes in the game.

You actually can get a Leaf Stone before Kanto. Picknicker Gina can give them for you when getting her number. There's a fun little manipulation you can do (similar to what you did for the infinite Return TMs). So, you can get 3 Leaf Stones before Whitney. The same can be done for Fire Stones with that trainer with the Tangela, next to the Sudowoodo.

Why do I like Gen 2? Yeah, it is the nostalgia. I grew up with Gen 1 and was just blown away by the improvements. When you compare both, you can just see the leaps in quality while still being able to be played on the original gameboy. Gen 2 improved vastly on the quality of the sprites and animations. You actually added on to the original story line and were able to visit all of Kanto in the post game. Mechanically it introduced the dark & steel types, held items, friendship evolutions, specialized pokeballs, day & night cycles and breeding. It also expanded the move pools of many pokemon to be not as miserable as Gen 1. All in all, Gen 2 did a lot right with the franchise. It's true the generations coming after it fixed, expanded and improved even more, but Gen 2 was the first thing that took the accidental success that was Gen 1 pokemon and elevated it to the next level. Paving the way for (and earning Gamefreak the fans' trust to deliver) many more great generations. The horrible level progression is a legitimate complaint though. As is the lack of Gen 2 Pokemon availability for both yourself and main boss fights. So should you still play it now? If you also have a sense of nostalgia for it, yes. If you're new to it, I'd say play the Heart Gold/Soul Silver remakes from Gen 4. You'll get the same story but with the introduction of abilities and the physical/special split along with a plethora of graphical and quality of life improvements. Just like I'd recommend playing Fire Red/Leaf Green instead of the original Gen 1 games.

I liked Gen 2 before I started replaying the games via emulation to speed things up. That made the Rocket sections more obviously tedious instead of a change of pace. What I STILL like about Gen 2 are the new mons, much more interesting setting than Kanto, and the presentation. I even like the easy access to Headbutt and elemental punches as a way to improve move diversity in an era where the series is still limited in that regard.

I like the Gen II, but I love their remakes more. Without anachronisms, the addition of new types was pretty cool and new type combinations (Quasire, water/ground, Lanturn, water/electric etc) in Gen II was pretty cool. The gameplay was much better than the previous generation and also the existence of a mythology around the history of the region that the game contains. In Kanto it's pow pow pow earn badges pow pow pow defeat giovanni pow pow pow League pow pow pow take the legendaries, capture mewtwo and that's it.

Gen 2 is my favorite because of the graphics style and the music. Gen 2 was such a big step up from Gen 1 and the games ran much smoother, so I always had a positive relationship. I got yellow and crystal at the same time as my first games. Gen 3 was beautiful too, the music was great, but it was a different feeling. Then when gen 4 and gen 5 came out, it felt far too different for me to put them at the top. It literally comes down to the charm/vibe. I was never a gen 5 hater, vanilluxe is fantastic, I just like being in the world in gen 2/3 the most.

i do like gen 2, but mostly for aesthetic reasons. crystal versions sprites/animation are the best 2D pokemon EVER looked, imo. the pokemon sprites are just so good in general? the limited palettes the hardware necessitates just gives it such a cool aesthetic. also the music SLAPS. theres just something about the sound font they used that gen. johto itself also just feels... Cozy? for some reason? maybe its all the woodlands, maybe the visuals (i love how gen 2 looks, even beyond the pokemons sprites), maybe just nostalgia (gen 1 was my first though). idk. that combined with that music just makes playing the game feel like being wrapped in a warm blanket on a chilly day. its hard to describe. THAT BEING SAID... yeah. i acknowledge that gameplay wise it sucks lmao. the tms are somehow even worse than in gen 1, only being saved by the elemental punches and return. the movesets are god awful, the pacing turns to shit the second you beat morty, and the plot is easily the worst of any mainline game. "look! its team rocket! ...sorta! anyway, lets slap em on the wrist and watch them crumble instantly." and of course, to add insult to injury, they slam 90% of said plot into one tedious section of the game. HGSS are majorly overrated too. i replayed every mainline game in chronological order a few years back and. Man. HGSS was a letdown. the added bells and whistles cant save it. so, in conclusion: gen 2 fucking sucks but im fond of it anyway.

On my replays of them recently (both the originals and the remakes), the difficulty curve, or lack thereof, made me finally realize they really aren't good games. The originals are more "gen 1.5" than they are their own things, and while the remakes improve a lot of the issues of the originals, they didn't or couldn't change the biggest ones because they'd end up as completely different games.

I like gen 2 because of its map and ambition. The map design is my favorite in the series, branching and circling in a way that feels both open and natural. The addition of the entire Kanto map was a massive surprise at the time and possibly the best surprise addition in a game. Some of the decisions that are terrible in retrospect make more sense in the context of its creation. Gen 2 was supposed to be the last Pokemon game; there was going to be no gen 3. So things like the Kanto gym leaders being weaker than the Elite 4 makes sense because the Elite 4 were the best trainers in the world, not just the region. As such it makes no in-game sense for the gym leaders to be more powerful; if they were, they'd be in the Elite 4 and someone else would have been kicked out. It's an awful decision in retrospect but makes sense as to why they did it. Of course, that still doesn't excuse the garbage level scaling in Johto or the absolute slog of the Radio Tower Takeover section. Gen 2 is incredibly flawed, but it has good traits as well. Heart Gold is my favorite pokemon game, and a lot of that has to do with the foundation Gold and Silver laid.

I believe generation five received so much negative criticism since the previous generation of Pokemon was unavailable in BW until post-game. I remember playing through BW/BW2 and not caring for them overall. I recognized the story was excellent; what got me at the time was the animations for the Pokémon. They looked very unnatural. Now though, they’re a classic to me. I like Generation Two purely nostalgia-based, and the sprites are nice. Red at the end was a crazy brutal fight for eight-year-old me. So I felt accomplished beating him.

It also helps make the Kanto post-game stronger. It still has some of Gen 2's initial issues of course, Johto is still wonky in some ways despite its charm, but yeah.
