An absolute beauty of a pokemon game. 16 gyms and 2 regions and endless amount of pokemon to choose from is exactly what Pokemon needed to do for its sequel to Pokemon Red. It's a shame we never got the Celebi event in the states.
The game still had some coding flaws that caused some minor mechanics to not work properly but nevertheless a great game all-around. Glad we ended up with this version of generation 2 and not the Spaceworld Demo.
