This Game improves on many aspects, they are too plenty to list but some of my favourites would be the great sprite work, the sound, the attack animations and being able to explore two regions. But personally I also have some things that I don’t enjoy that much, for example the pacing is horrible in this game and the starters are the weakest lineup in the franchise, the postgame still isn’t good and Kanto is pale in comparison to Jotho. But my Nr.1 complaint has to be the options you have when you build a team: first of all elemental stones are not easy obtainable like in the last one, secondly most new interesting pokemon are in the kanto region? (that is very late in the game), and thirdly you still wont be able to use trade evolutions (they added also more trade evolutions) this summed up feels like you have less options than gen 1 also with the pacing issue I would put this slightly above Gen 1.
