Why didn’t they rebalance the game to have an actual level curve, give the JOHTO leaders actual Johto mons, fix the Pokémon distribution and so on instead of adding a stupid mini game area instead?

>blah blah blah I don't understand how a sequel game works
They shouldn't have gotten rid of the badge boosts though, since they make the level curve a non issue and your level is always right.
Andrew Smith
Why don't you play the game and form your own opinion instead of endlessly parroting other anons? Maybe you'll realize just how inconsequential all of that is.

I mean I don't think they need to be mutually exclusive things, I think the implementation of the Johto Safari Zone was pretty unique and felt like a good way to evolve the concept of the Safari Zone even if the final result still needed more refining (mainly with that shit about item placement and waiting).
As for the level curve, yeah I mean they did some patchwork like lowering Whitney's level, raising Falkner's, Bugsy's and Pryce's as well as Clair's fsr but I think the curve would've benefitted from more trainers and battles simply put, there really isn't enough trainers in the region, some more optional side areas as well as bulking up some of the pre-existing locations like Union Cave, National Park, Burned Tower, Glittering Lighthouse as well as giving some existing locations trainers that didn't have them in GS like Ilex Forest, Ruins of Alph, Moo Moo Farm and Ice Path.
I think the overall curve though of getting up to ~Lv40 by the 8th Gym Leader would work fine, it'd give the player more time with the middle form of their starter and give emphasis to just how powerful a Pokemon that evolves via methods other than levelling can be by having trainers with Stone, Trade and Happiness Evolutions be more common.

Protip: get better at battling instead of trying to compensate with more grinding
James Sullivan
They were too busy boosting Red's levels

All of the wild encounters in optional content like the Union Cave / Ruins of Alph, Dark Cave, and Mt. Mortar give you a lot of xp

GSC isn't a direct sequel. It's a new gen.
B2W2 aren't a new gen.
Elijah Robinson
>GSC isn't a direct sequel.
How is it not? It is in the same way B2W2 are a continuation of the previous game's narrative.
>B2W2 aren't a new gen.
And that changes what exactly?
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I DON'T CARE THAT JOHTO POKEMON ARE EVERYWHERE IN JOHTO ALL BECAUSE FALKNER DOESN'T HAVE A HOOTHOOT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

we all played the game. This shit was ass

Fuck you for bumping this garbage!

Except even back then, fans were upset about about Gen2 Feeling too similar to Gen1 due to all the gen1 Pokemon. Shit like muh level curve and muh climax are meme complaint that only showed up much later and have been blown out of proportion by fake-fans in recent years to make new games look better. But fans who played GSC back in the day felt that the Gen2 Pokémon deserved to be represented more on teams and in wild encounters.

this is bullshit. Everyone knew the levels were off playing it and no "2 regions" bullshit excuse made up for that. That Rocket shit is not even fun
Xavier Reed
> levels were off playing
The only only issue with the levels is that the wild mons don’t give a lot of exp, making you underleveled at certain points, but badge boosts and Stat Exp mostly make up for it. And even if that’s isn’t enough at worst you’d need to grind for half an hour to catch up. (And makes adding new Pokémon take longer due to needing time to catch up) Its still a problem but it’s hardly the game breaking flaw people love to pretend that it is. I guarantee that If Pyrce’s team were 4 levels higher, normies wouldn’t even realize Johto’s levels were off (despite the leader levels having nothing to do with the actual problem)
>Rocket is lame
The vast majority of nonboss NPCs in all Pokémon are OHKO jokes. That’s not a gen2 problem that’s a Pokémon. As for story, Teak Rocket was the only frame of reference at the time so “team Rocket grunts fumbling around in a pathetic attempt to please Giovanni” was unironically considered good at the time (many fans may have assumed it was intentional to be similar to Jessie and Hamws in the anime)
Zachary Jenkins
The anime did a simple thing and gave him a hoothoot.
Cooper Young
level curve is actually worse in the remake, because of Ev trained mons on trainers and lack of badge boosts
Austin Phillips
because none of those are actual issues
Logan King
>level curve
Discarded, this buzzword means nothing outside of a cherrypicked context
Henry Collins
Dude, we have been playing this game for years and those things are always a problem
