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.

The most important game to the pokemon franchise, but in retrospect the game is poorly designed and poorly coded. Still give it props for its influence on the rest of the series and what they have accomplished with it

I loved the idea of region locking the Pokemon till you beat your objective. It helps me to learn more about the importance of Unova pokemon rather than relying on the previous 4 generations of pokemon. As the first game based around the setting of New York City and its surrounding area, I was blown away by the 3D effects pulled off by The Pokemon Company.
Half Star off for the story. One of the antagonists is too blind to realize what he is doing is heinous until they are defeated.
Also, I did not like that they gave the true boss a certain pokemon with a level not possible to be fully evolved with.
On a good note, the game gives a nice touch about theme of pokemon in the lore

Arcade style football that was fun to mess around with as a kid. If you aren't playing as Steve McNair than what are you doing?
The base game for my favorite generation of pokemon. Always a blast to play this whenever I have the downtime.
The best pokemon game of all time. Having access to 4 generations worth of pokemon and 16 gyms with 2 regions and having pokemon follow you around is simply something that can't be beaten by other pokemon games.
Imagine Pokemon Diamond/Pearl and all of its glory and they throw Giratina in the mix. Phenomenal game with a great adventure to it.
This game is a 3D traditional platformer from the 90s. Not too much to it. Props for the humor though.
2012
My second persona game played and most recent finish as of 1/18/2021, Persona 4 Golden felt like a boring pain to get through at first but accelerated into a fascinating story as time went on. The main character and the rest of his crew try to solve a string of murders and disappearances in the rural town of Inaba.
After playing this game after playing P5R, I would say this game helped me learn more about Persona Battles and how to tactically use different personas in battle compared to P5R. I got the true ending in the game and was absolutely left satisfied and grateful for having the chance to play this game on PC.
Pros:
Cast of unique characters who each display the will to accept who they truly and to help others in the game.
Side Quests that in return help you get items
Killer Soundtrack
Better Understanding of Persona Battles, ailments, personas themselves than in P5R
Cons:
I played with controller and found it difficult to turn in dungeons because of the camera angles and direction. (this game is 10 years old mind you)
Some of my sneak attacks on shadows wouldn't connect because of some camera angles.

2019
I came in with very little knowledge about Persona in general. I first heard of it when Joker was leaked for Smash and I thought it was the DC Villain Joker who got added to smash. Played the whole game during the lockdown and was blown away at the amount of interesting content as well as compelling battles found in the game.
Pros:
Worth the money with the amount of time invested in the game (roughly greater than 110 hours)
Game Design and Soundtrack is spectacular
Story has a nice fight for your freedom theme
Cons:
A character towards the end doesn't get enough spotlight or character development
Game could start slow due to the tutorial phase
