Good story compared to the games before it , the gym leaders actually do stuff instead of just standing in one spot all day , first gen with reusable tms , combat is pretty fast , at the time all of the Pokemon were exclusive to the region . I ' m slightly biased since they were the second gen I played as a kid , but I definitely think they ' re the best Pokemon games behind SM . <| sep |> nice find ! <| sep |> The main reason that the P 2 was put into retail stores ahead of preorders and cheaply was probably for marketing purposes and to have a presence for Xmas . There is no such seasonal retail sales pressure for the T 2 . <| sep |> GE is free trade . Arguably it makes merching easier too . I made 20 m within a month on f 2 p in osrs with the GE . You just flip items .
