Finished Pokémon Yellow, and I decided to try playing Crystal. I played Gold as a kid, but never had this one. It was pretty fun, it's always interesting to see where the series started to evolve into what it is today.
A lot of people say that Team Rocket is really underwhelming in Gen 2, and I think that was mostly done on purpose. They're a shadow of their former self, trying to regain their status they lost in Gen 1. In that way, Crystal feels more like a sequel than it does an entirely new generation, unlike what new Pokémon generations feel like today. (They could have added some named Rockets though, instead of all of the Rocket admins being unnamed grunts!)
Stopped playing after beating the Elite 4, because from what I can remember, Kanto was mostly underwhelming, and I wanted to get onto other things. Still really cool it was included though, and I did love exploring it as a kid. I remember I managed to beat Red in Gold.
Played on my GPD XD+ via emulation. Had to pay for an emulator on the app store, can you believe that? Literally 1984. Didn't even have any fancy filters!
