I honestly don't get why people still rather play Gold and Silver as opposed to Crystal version which is essentially the definitive version of Gen 2. Is it just nostalgia or do people hate the changes made in Crystal?

you cant get lugia or ho-oh in crystal, what's the point
>>31560315
Same reason why people play Ruby/Sapphire instead of Emerald or Diamond/Pearl instead of Platinum
You can't fully admire the changes from the third versions without playing at least one of the older ones first
Also Crystal has no Mareep so its objectively the shittiest version of Gen2
>>31560329
but that's wrong you fucking retard
>>31560329
Actually you can as I recall. You just don't get either of the special moves for them
>>31560329
Did you not play the games
>>31560339
>early Growlithe
>early Phanphy
>early Teddursa

All have better options for them in GS. Mareep is the only decent electric pokemon you can get
You can also catch growlithe as soon as you get to goldenrod in GS, what are you talking about?
>>31560362
crystal has move tutor anyway for them tho
>>31560315
There are some pokemon you can't get in Crystal.
Plus you play as a boy.
>>31560315
>not playing GS so you can beat Pryce immediately
>>31561882
Nothing prevents you from doing that in Crystal, tho.
Nostalgia or muh Mareep
Marill not being a 1% encounter anymore and early Teddiursa totally make up for it though

You can get one before facing the first gym in Crystal.
