I did like the fact they made evolution stones WAY easier to obtain. I don't know why they decided to be pesky and made them harder to get a hold of and in limited supply.
Those stones were definitely one thing I missed being able to get without tons of convoluted ways to get them or having such a limited quantity. I guess they realized that unfettered access to these stones was waaayyy overpowered.

And among many other reasons, the sprites were one reason I was very glad that Yellow was the very first version I got a hold of. It really surprised me at how awful the older sprites were, haha. Too bad the back sprites weren't cleaned up until Gold and Silver, though.
