Gen 2 has a lot going for it but a "diverse environment" is definitely not one of them. Johto isn't quite as dull as Kanto but it's close! What's interesting, some old ruins and sea caves? Then you look at Hoenn with its rainforest, volcanos, interesting cities, rocket base, and countless more. Johto doesn't compare!

I suppose that comes down to how you define diversity, and I won't deny that I do have a bit of a nostalgia boner for this game.
While it wasn't necessarily "explosively" diverse like Hoenn, it felt realistically large and varied enough to make it feel like a part of a larger world. It inspired my imagination as a kid, haha.
