want to replay this but then remember...
>playing a Pokemon game made before gen 5
literally torture. what do?
>>31435776
HGSS and Platinum are the only games with any replay value.
>>31435785
No game has any replay value.
>>31435791
Meant Pokemon games
>>31435776
Emulator with maximum speed.
Also savestate often because for some reason only HGSS glitch out.
>>31435785
Only Plat, really.
>>31435776
As long as you can look past the saving issues, it's pretty good still. This coming from a Gen 2/5 fanboy

Saving is nowhere near as bad in HGSS as the Sinnoh games. It's the grinding that's the issue, but I only found out recently that you can rematch trainers by ringing them up rather than waiting around for them to ring you. Specific trainers have specific times though, but Serebii has the full list and it's made E4 grinding so much quicker so far.
>>31435776
Ahhh, gen 4. Objectively the worst generation, and HGSS the worst remakes. Truly a shameful time best forgotten.
>>31435776
Don't play it. HG/SS is overrated as fuck. Boring regions, boring characters, boring Pokemon and a retarded level curve. Emerald, Platinum, ORAS, and B2W2 are better so play them instead.
>>31435879
>ORAS
I mean you're right in the rest of your post, but ORAS is just as mediocre as HGSS, if for entirely different reasons.
>>31435879
Also
>Needing a HM Slave and still have to give other of your pokemon some HM because there's so fucking many
>>31435898
Not true, ORAS gets a bad reputation because of no Battle Frontier and no Gym Leader rematches, but it's a good game aside from that.
>>31435785
the unbearable grind of johto says otherwise
I played emerald after gen 5 and it was fun
>>31435806
>emulation
maybe if I was 11
just wait for the gen 7 remake coming soon
