So why was gen 2 cucked? Gen 1 had huge nostalgia trip in XY:

HGSS

Because not enough people care for gen 2. Why do you think they had to spice up HGSS with two bit gimmicks?

>>29527058
Gen 2 had a small dex and thus a lack of legendaries because it was essentially just a sequel to Kanto.

Plus it ended up getting a remake (HGSS) that ended up being one of the greatest installments in the franchise.

Gen 2 has always been cucked. It is the cuckold gen.

Yeah no. They forgot major essentials and didn't fix anything. Then some pokemon can't even evolve without being traded to a DPPt because they were too busy making it a chore to catch them all.

Gen Two? More like Gen Who amirite?

> Snorlax on the road
That shit really infuriated me.
> gen 1, snorlax represents an obstacle that at first represents a completely impassable barrier, then one you can defeat, then one you can capture to grow stronger, representing pokémon's theme of getting stronger by going on adventures
> gen 2, snorlax requires that you go somewhere else for a while, but going there is still fun enough
> gen 6, snorlax requires that you go to a tourist attraction, find someone's dog with your hand held every fucking step of the way by an annoying NPC, and come back no stronger than you were before
If that segment hadn't been there, the average quality of XY would have increased by a small but significant amount.

Yes. Yes I did.
