Gen 3 was a real improvement, system-wise.
well granted that you don't consider that gen 2 added some gameplay elements like day/night cycle, breeding, and an early berry system, dark/steel types, and a shit load of balancing compared to gen 1, you're right.
Like it or not, generation two was a step up. Sure, there wasn't much far as exploration goes, but it at least tried to improve on the core gameplay of pokemon in general. That said, I should point out exploration means nothing unless the gameplay is actually good in an RPG. Even if you don't want to admit it, generation 2, deserves the respect it gets.
