I think I had a Mewtwo after Misty IIRC. That's the one I was referencing. Do you know when you were using it? I've searched a bunch and the earliest reference to it I can find is May 2002, and even then people were calling the guy who found it a liar. By then, I was in high school and Pokemon wasn't cool anymore. BTW, for anyone playing them, this is the map for using the special stat to generate pokemon.

Danger Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Gonna be honest. I hate how much Gen 1 pandering there's been in recent years. Give gen 2 and gen 4 (will come with the remake) some love smh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen 2 got quite a bit love, and they've already had their remakes as has Gen 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the mons in that gen are for the most part the most in need of help to be useful of any generation as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a smaller pool of Pokemon, but yeah I do agree, there aren't a lot that stand out anymore, despite it being my favourite gen of the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the starters for one. You'll notice it's pretty widespread in Gen 2 that they're lackluster compared to it's peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starters with their single typing and poor spread of stats are pretty meh. I lost track of anything competitive when the mega's came out. PokemonShowdown was awesome 5 years ago or so when I played it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokemonShowdown was awesome 5 years ago or so when I played it I like the Megas as well as the Alolan Forms of pokemon since it can breathe new life into a pokemon. The Z-Move thing in Gen 7 though is just corny. Problem is Alolan forms were 100% Gen 1 exclusively. Megas certainly had a big aspect tied to Gen 1. 4 Megas between 3 starters and quite a few more gen 1 mons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we ever see that much more done with Gen 2 pokemon. The numbers just don't favor it. It gave us 100 new pokemon, which is less than most gens to start with. And of that 100, 7 were the addition of baby pokemon, 12 were evolutions of gen 1. So already about 1/5 are just extensions of gen 1 in the first place. There's maybe 10 or so that have already gotten Megas or new evolutions (Sneasel, Piloswine, Togetic, Gligar, etc., along with the 6 with Megas.) You have the usual slew of novelty pokemon that will never be useful regardless (Unown, Smeargle, etc.) They've never done anything with the legendary trios. Truthfully, there just aren't many pokemon left to work with from gen 2. You basically have the starters, the low tier early game group (Furret, Noctowl, etc.), and the legendaries. Just a handful of others you could actually do something with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Gen 2 has given us that expectation for multiple regions. It's something that fans have asked for years, and obviously it hasn't been done again since Gen 2 (and their remakes). I'd say Gen 2 has probably gotten the most love outside of Gen 1 for obvious reasons. Gen 3 probably got the 3rd most mainly because of the remakes. If anything is going to get a buff, it's going to be Gen 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I’d guess Gen 2 is going to get the Let’s Go treatment in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
