I still am a fan of the franchise and i love the newer generations, wun and moon were especially fantastic and i loved the fact that becoming champion actually meant you had to fight to keep the title; but even with all these new pokémon, new areas and stories, i still find generation 2 to be one of the best in the franchise.
Personally i put it within top 5, i love the fact that there's not just one but TWO regions to explore and catch all kinds of pokémon in as well as how the storyline directly plays out as a sequel to the previous game, the gameplay is amazing with the pokégear, the gym battles, exploring the towers and other landmarks like the Ruins of Alph and Mt. Silver. anyone else still love these games and think they hold up, or is it just me?
