>no double battlesHow I have fun?
>>59278147>no new pokemon to catch, just shitty level 10 pidgeys and ratattas the entire game, every route, both johto and kanto>all the gyms just use kanto's backwash>no easy pvp because crystal, being the laziest scam rehash game in the series, gutted the gb mobile adapter features >all the evolution stones are locked behind kanto and shitty rng phone calls>battle tower is a fucking jokegenuinely awful games with 0 redeeming features
>>59278147Gen one and two are interesting because they are the only non-formulaic main games. Gen one was the original and was designed in a vacuum as a discrete game and gen two was a rushed sequel that could have just served as the end point for the games if they didnt keep going.I think autists who came of age playing gen three and after struggle with understanding that the first two gens were developed outside of the modern cookie cutter assembly line process that prioritizes appeasing the anger of the autistic fanbase by being as predictable and rote as possible (though GF has clearly been slowly trying to break this with gen eight and after).
>>59278147>Gotta catch 'em all!Take me back, I'm tired of trainer battles
>>59278340Play Legends Arceus then
>>59278147Switch Skarmory and Blissey until opponent kills self.
>>59278147Woah woah woah, you mean you dont have 5 whole double battles like other campaigns?
>>59278340No. Catching Pokemon was the most boring shit ever. I do not miss mashing A to throw 99 Ultra Balls at a paralyzed 1 HP Lugia and still not catching it.
Gen 2 before Abilities, Double Battle and Natures was pure.
>>59279775>paralyzedPretty sure that doesn't affect catch rate in Gen 2.
>>59279799Also a biiiit boring but I do miss not having to worry about EVs and IVs. I don't give a crap about competitive but even if I play entirely single player I hate not being optimal.
>>59280113IVs were always a thing grandpa. Stat exp was more straightforward but also irreversible if you wanted to minmax attack or speed and much grindier than EVs.
>>59278147And these were the games that introduced the Twins Trainers.

>>59278209This.
>>59278147double battle enjoyers when i break their spine in two
>have the previous game>transfer back and forth
>>59278209Every Pokemon that evolves by a stone could be traded back to Gen 1 by the fourth gym. At most you might have to wait until you get to the move deleter in the 8th Gem to do so.
>>59278147How hard would it be to make a romhack of crystal that supported doubles? I assume you'd basically have to rewrite huge swaths of the battle code.
>>59280280hgss fixed this btw
