I know your pain OP. As much as I love HGSS, playing them made me appreciate Platinum and it's little conveniences a LOT more.

>Not trading over mons from Platinum to use.

Boosted EXP nigger.

Or you could just man up and beat Red with your lv40-50 team

The grind is better than the nonexistent postgame in NuPokemon

HGSS were the last good pokemon games, i see it clearly now. They were the last games with old school sensibilities, ever since BW the wannabe anime storyline aspect of the games has been getting way out of hand to the detriment of everything else. I didn't get Sun or Moon because of economic reasons when they first came out and now I literally feel no desire to ever play them.

Lol grinding against Red

Beat him on my first try without any legendaries and items

Is this another ebin HG thread?

>>not playing the drayano hacks
Fixes the games. They're still not 10/10 though, they have some weird bugs because of the added Gen 4 partners.

>>31886128

Do those hacks fuck with cheats?

>>31886128
Golden Edition is better desu, drayano hacks are alright aside from every route having like 20 pokemon, feels unnatural

>>31886139
Not on a flashcart. One cheat is needed to bypass a freeze that ends the game at the gen 4 characters.
Used a cheat normally for easy exp for a second team too, they work.

>>31886121
I basically fucking started HG threads on this fucking board man. Memes are weird, slight rephrasings of my opinions from 2009 are now a common shitthread. No one had my particular brand of Johto autism back then, now I see it every time I revisit this godforsaken place.

>>31886168

That's gonna be annoying. I'm mainly asking so I can quickly throw together something half decent for the Frontier upon defeating Red.

>>31886209
You need the fix cheat to progress, but everything else works for sure.

>he can't beat a fucking pikachu

>needing to grind to beat Red
You can beat him with a team of level 50s if you're not a retard.

>>31885442

I remember i spent like 5 hours grinding my mons from 55-65 to fight Red.

You really only need to be around the 60's to easily beat Red. You'll have all your EVs too, unless you use something like the Elemental birds or something.

>after beating every trainer in Kanto
>and getting rematches from friends and gym leaders
you cant possibly be that underleveled

Is this bait? BW and BW2 didn't have non-existent postgames. It's retarded to put them in the same boat as Gen. 6 and 7 just because of more emphasis on story.

StormSilver is much better. Fixed the level curve, much improved Pokemon availability, standalone evolutions, shitmons/moves buffed, Trainers teams/moves greatly improved.
It's pretty much the perfect Pokemon experience.

>>31887938
Black 2 is the best for having Black City, best grind spot ever.

>>31885669
Grinding five hours for one battle doesn't count as a postgame my man

>>31885442
would not have been so bad if they gave you an lucky egg.

>>31885462
fpbp
ops just a "le theres not enough handholding" complainer nu-male whos first gen was 6

>grinding is good
hoooly shit

>>31889951
In my current playthrough, I ended up trading a Venonat and Stantler to my Patinum copy and just stealing a lucky egg from a Chansey in route 209. Then I traded the egg to my SoulSilver. Shit makes grinding so much easier.

>>31885497
A half-way decent level curve shouldn't be a little convenience.
