Pokémon Generation 9 Countdown: The Best of Generation 2

Welcome to Part 2 of my series where I take a look back at each of the eight Pokémon generations we have experienced so far prior to the start of Generation 9 when Pokémon Scarlet and Violet come out in November.

Generation 1 headlined by Red, Blue, and Yellow set the tone for the entire franchise with a fascinating battle system, a lively region to explore, and 151 memorable Pokémon. However, there was some room for improvement. After all, we didn’t even learn Kanto’s name until Generation 2!
