As a kid, I loved Gen 2 quite a lot. It wasn't until the last few years that I'm staying to notice the cracks. We all know the issues with level scaling and all that. This doesn't make it a bad game, just something I'm having less patience for personally. Still one of the strongest upgrades from one game to the next, definitely. And despite many being more than a little underpowered, the designs of the Gem 2 roster are some of my favorites.
