Gen 2 had the best ghost.

Reminder that they still haven't made a better ghost pokémon since.

Gold and Silver was even better, while retaining all the good things about genwun.
They also had the best pokémon.

I seriously emulated it when it came out, playing a (poorly) translated ROM. Kind of stopped short when the unfinished translation ran out and nobody was speaking English anymore.

Also, Misdreavus is best ghost.

I like Gengar, but there's more adorable ghosts, and he isn't even a pure Ghost type.

Wizardry was always targeted at more a niche audience, it was seen as an advanced game for advanced players, particularly Wizardry 4, which was just a fucking insanely difficult and tedious meatgrinder of a game made purely for people who complained that the Wizardry series was too easy (Ghost of Trebor comes to mind, as well as people's sent in player characters now being presented as your enemy, all which were grinded up and high level, decked out in the crunkest gear).
Which isn't to say it's unplayable, but it requires a lot of patience and dedication.

I'll say that's true, they have a very particular style that you just don't see anywhere else.

He still has a point though, Gen 1, as great as it is, was QUITE rough around the edges, lots of things in the game are just plain broken or don't work at all like they're supposed to (there's some moves that you think would be great, and are in later gens, but either does something retarded or worthless because of a calculation error, or does nothing at all).

IMO, Gen 2 is the most rounded when it comes to retro Pokémon, and it still has a lot of the style and charm that Pokémon had in that era.
Also it had the cutest ghost.
