Also apparently Castlevania? But im no expert

Also i can think of three movie franchises with the opposite perception of the second entry: The Godfather, Star Wars, and Shrek.

I feel like Gen II of Pokémon is strictly better than Gen I. Full color, more fleshed out world (day/night cycle, breeding, getting calls on the Pokégear), various quality of life improvements, has both the National Park and Ecruteak City music--oh, and it's literally got the entire first game map crammed inside of it as endgame content. What's not to love?

Metroid 2 is also regarded as lesser

The transition from NES to GB probably didn't help. The only franchise where I can think of the GB version having higher acclaim is (maybe) Link's Awakening or Donkey Kong 94

Link's Awakening got the DX GBC version which helped it a lot I think.
