The first seeds of the competitive Pokemon scene was born in Gen 2, but many players didn't know it yet. Gen 2 has been the only generation of Pokemon that has allowed full exploration of two regions. Some games featured smaller side-areas that could be explored, but never to the extent that Gold and Silver had. Because of this, Gen 2 is often seen as the best when it comes to endgame content. Once players defeat the Elite Four of Johto, they are free to explore the Kanto region and see all the changes that occurred between Gen 1 and Gen 2 - like the destruction of Cinnabar Island, or the removal of the Lavender Town Pokemon Tower.
This alone is reason enough to give these games another pass and remake them, especially considering how well the Johto and Kanto regions could be expanded and fleshed out using the Switch's hardware. During one of Game Freak's Pokemon Presents livestreams, some interestingly curated plushies have fans believing that a Gen 2 remake is coming soon, or at the very least an announcement for one is. That begs the question: will the Gen 2 remakes be a Let's Go installment or a main-series installment?
Some fans speculate that a Let's Go installment would make the most sense. Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee were a great gateway for those who were introduced to Pokemon from Pokemon Go and eased them into the core Pokemon format with mechanics that felt familiar to them. It also created a beautiful and unique representation of the Kanto region to explore with a partner Pokemon.
Since the assets are already there, it could be good to create what fans are calling "Let's Go Johto" under the same system - and they could even port over the Kanto region they've created with some modifications of course. If it were to be a Let's Go title, then Game Freak would need to find new Pokemon starters for players to choose. The first Let's Go titles featured Eevee and Pikachu, two of the series' main mascots, but unless they just use those two again which would likely not go over well with some fans then they would need to pick new ones.
Marill and Togepi come to mind as iconic Pokemon of that generation - Togepi being the first Egg Pokemon players ever encounter, and Marill being the partner for the player's "friend" in Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Regardless of the choice, Game Freak will still have to decide if it wants to stick to the "no evolutions" mantra that they had with the original Let's Go starters, or if it will allow more freedom this time around.
On the other hand, many die-hard fans would likely want the remakes to be full-blown installments rather than Let's Go titles. While it may not make sense to have Dynamax Pokemon in the Johto Region, perhaps Game Freak could appeal to the fans who have missed Mega Evolution and bring that mechanic back, at least for a time. Johto is home to several Pokemon that had Mega Evolutions, plus they could always find a way to write in a way for Mega Evolution as a mechanic to migrate to the region.
That's not to say that Mega Evolution couldn't be in the Let's Go variant of Gen 2, especially since it's coming to Pokemon Go, but without Dynamax, the competitive scene will likely want some sort of "gimmick" for the competitive scene.
Pokemon Gold and Silver are fan-favorite games for a number of reasons. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a member of Team Rocket and that the real Director is locked in Goldenrod's basement.

Traveling north of Saffron to Cerulean City the player finds out that a suspicious character has been hanging out around the Gym. Traveling north onto Route 24 , the player finds and battles a Team Rocket grunt who is trying to revive the team unbeknownst to the fact that the team in Johto was disbanded by the player.
The player defeats the grunt who admits that he dropped the part in the Cerulean Gym. The player goes to the Gym and retrieves the Machine Part. They return it to the Power Plant and the machine is once again returned to its running state.
Talking to the director inside the tower, they receive the Radio Expansion Card which allows them to listen to radio stations in Kanto as a reward for restoring power at the Power Plant. Going back north to Cerulean and the up to Route 24, the player challenges the Nugget Crew and finds Misty with her boyfriend at Cerulean Cape. Misty's boyfriend runs off angering her until she realizes that the player is indeed a challenger.

The player travels south across Route 2 and through Viridian Forest before arriving at Viridian City. The player then continues south to Pallet Town and surfs to Cinnabar Island. There, the player sees Blue who mentions how the town previously found on the island was destroyed in a volcanic eruption, and that the town's Gym Leader had to relocate his Gym to the nearby Seafoam Islands.
Blue then goes back to his Gym in Viridian. The player travels east to the Seafoam Islands and finds Blaine 's Fire-type Gym within the islands and challenges him to earn the Volcano Badge. The player travels back to Viridian City and challenges Blue in his Gym, which does not seem to have any specialty in types, and defeats him to earn the Earth Badge. The player goes back to Pallet Town and visits Professor Oak in his laboratory.
Oak sees that the player has earned all of the Gym Badges in Kanto and, after giving them HM08 , decides to allow the player to enter Mt.
