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?
Yes this might be THE example of a franchise that isnt percieved to have had a sophmore slump.
I can think of a few that fit the billing; Doom 2, Diablo 2, Portal 2, L4D2, Civ2. I think those franchises all managed to take the original concept and actually improve upon it. There’s probably more but those are the ones I could think of
