Its VERY interesting that this game is considered neon colorful to you and others, because if you play the game on original hardware (a gameboy with at best a front light) its just NORMALLY colorful. The bright colors I think are suppose to stand out more because of how the game was originally seen for most kids: in the back of the car reflecting the setting sun, or under the light in a living room.

Pokémon Fool’s Gold is also a pretty fun one. It’s like if everything was randomized, except planned out. Like the types of everything are different, the encounters are different, and the sprites of all the Pokémon have been changed; you really just have to relearn the game. On top of that, it has a lengthy post game that’s genuinely challenging.

Pokémon Crystal was my first handheld game as well as the first game that I didn't have to share with siblings. Before my battery died in my copy many years ago, I had over 900 hours on just the last save I had. So many beautiful memories have been given to me by this game and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I still listen to tracks like National Park and Cherrygrove City unironically all the time!

I don't play mods or hacks, and this was an exception. ~ all 251 Pokémon are obtainable in-game, even having a trade-back npc. ~ all 251 Pokémon have their own overworld sprites; one can walk behind you and you can interact! ~ spawn in any town you choose, customizable main character; whichever region you spawn in effects if you see Red or Gold on Mt. Silver. ~ Difficulty scales with you, and you can rechallenge gyms as many times as you wish ~ Want to see all Pokémon as shiny? There's a toggle for it. ~ Want to read the Pokédex without catching them all? There's a toggle for that. ~ Choose what music you hear for battles, including Gen 3 renditions and a lot more music!

Always thought gen 2 was the best but back then when I used to say it was my favorite I was labeled a “hipster.” People liked gen 3 or the latest release at the time. People just didn’t realize how much gen 2 innovated and brought to the table, as well as the last of the cool sprite designs. Day and night cycle, breeding, gender, baby Pokémon, holding items, seeing your exp, friendship evolutions, poke gear, seeing if you’ve already caught a Pokémon by the icon, having a male or female protagonist, having a story after the main game, dark type and steel type. All these were introduced in this generation.

Replaying as an almost 30 year old guy, the game has retained much of its charm. I think gen 2 has the best scenery and music. It's quick and responsive, qualities that the newer generations lack. Youre just in the world doing your own thing. No odd cutscenes or lengthy hand holding. I think the best part, although unfortunately it is not able to be replicated today, is that when you were young, you were discovering the entire Johto region with just you and your friends. You couldn't wait to show your friends new pokemon or exchange tips and learn new secrets. Without the Internet, vlogs, streamers, etc., spoiling or telling you where all the cool secret stuff is, the game maintained a very social and adventurous vibe. No gaming experience will ever top unknowingly travelling back to Kanto! But wait, finding Red at the top of Mt. Silver would just do that! Amazing memories from an amazing game. God bless the original creators, programmers, and composers.
