Pokémon: Ranking Every Gen 2 Video Game
1. Pokémon Crystal
The only gen two game better than Pokémon Gold and Silver is the upgraded version, Pokémon Crystal. Pokémon Crystal is just Gold and Silver but better due to small improvements and additions.
Pokémon now have little animations when you encounter them in battle which is a great way to make them feel like actual living creatures, and not just a sprite on a screen. Some visuals have been updated to make the game look better too, and you can now play as a girl, which is something that really should have been in the games earlier.
Everything also feels a bit more polished. There are fewer glitches, there are some nice little details added like location names appearing on screen when you go somewhere, and the three legendary beasts all have their own themes making encounters with them feel a bit more special.
Yeah, the changes here aren't that major but there are enough of them to make this easily the definitive generation two experience, and the game you should go back to if you want to experience Johto.
