I love Hoenn, Johto, and Sinnoh. I was apprehensive to the Johto remakes but from the very beginning, they nailed it for me. It surpasses GSC for me and it's a testament to how great the game is.

I don't feel the same way about ORAS.

>>32615348
I prefer GS to HGSS, but I know in my case that's pure nostalgia - I get the same feeling from most GBC era games and evokes the feeling of being wrapped up in a blanket with that fucking nyko light twisty thing in the middle of the night while the snow howls outside.

I prefer GSC to HGSS's changing unimportant things for no reason but not changing more important things that really needed to be improved.

Like, why the fuck is Morty's gym STILL filled with nothing but Ghastly and its evolutions? You could have just left the Kimono girls the way they were and actually put some god damn variety into the gyms.

>>32615382
what pisses me off is the lack of location based evos in HGSS.

Gen 2 has the best graphics of any game

>>32615382
The johto dex and level curve should've been the FIRST thing they corrected. I fucking love GSC and HGSS, but those 2 things will never be good.

>>32615348
Remakes improved the looks, following pokémon were also a pretty cool feature

>>32615411
One thing that bothered me is how they actually did change a few pokemon locations - such as removing Jigglypuff from route 46 - just not the ones that mattered.

I can accept Slugma having to be relatively near a volcano, but Murkrow should've been encounterable relatively early.

>>32615411
What if they made the game more linear in exchange for fixing the level curve? How would you feel about that?

>>32615364

The pokewalker and safari zone did a lot to fix the distribution issues. Murkrow, for example, can be found in the safari zone as soon as you get there.

>>32615348
I find it easier to go back and play GSC rather than HGSS because HGSS is now missing the ability to go online and access to the events.

With GSC I can still do Mystery Gift with my copy of Stadium 2.

Just end it all already

I prefer GSC to HGSS for mostly nostalgia reasons (and HGSS's coloring annoys me too). However HGSS did make some major improvements, most notably the distribution issue.

>>32615715
You still face level 20s by the 8th gym, you moron.

Well Typhlosion and Ampharos are awesome due to elemental punches not being physical.

Gen 2 is still the most bro gen I've played. I miss Typhlosion being awesome.

>>32615897
I will never forget playing through Gold for the very first time on the old Dboy emulator. Seeing the Red Gyarados be as magical as I expected, walking into the Ilex Forest, thinking it suddenly became night and being excited by the day/night cycle, hearing the fat guy talk about some place called Kanto and checking the Town Map to discover I would get to visit the RBY areas. I also remember raging at the Goldenrod underground switch puzzle and the Ice Path.

I miss being 11.

>>32616483
A gym with a level 40 pokemon. In Kanto you face level 30 pokemon by the 8th gym, with a Level 50 pokemon. Same shit.

Great game

>>32615348
I enjoyed HGSS, but things like the Pokéathlon, Safari and where they tried to give the Kimono girls some meaning just felt out of place to me.
One of the things I enjoyed most in Silver was the exploration of caves. Finding Lugia was so awesome, because you only got hinted that there's a strong Pokémon somewhere on the islands, but no one's seen it since the radio tower was built. Finding it was like being at a place no one's been to before, it felt special. But in HGSS I felt I was handholded way more than in the originals.
Though the battle against Red was awesome. How you only hear the wind blowing at the top while you walk towards him was fucking great.

>>32615364
I loved this visually, but the remastered Tin Tower track didn't give me that depressing feeling the original one did, and I really liked that, 'cause it fitted the atmosphere and the tiny story behind Ho-Oh.

>>32615348
>>>32615382

>The johto dex and level curve should've been the FIRST thing they corrected.

This. The progression after Johto has always been a mess. Kanto being entirely level
40-50 trainers and then the huge level gap between Blue and Red was ridiculous. At least with the remakes we got rematch versions of the Elite Four to help with that insane level gap a bit.

>>32615348
>>>32615348

> I miss Typhlosion being awesome.

They buffed his arsenal in HGSS. He barely had any powerful moves in Gen 2.

POKEMON IS ABOUT ADVENTURE GUYS
AN EMPTY REGON WITH NUMEROUS LOW LEVELED TRAINERS IS PERFECT FOR ME

The nostalgia feels.

Silver was my very first Pokemon game, remember getting my green and gold aussie edition gameboy for christmas back in 2000.

Life was fucking bliss.

>>32615897
>>you will never travel a pokemon region by yourself without these boring sidekicks and hundreds of cutscenes again

Damn that hits home. I just realized that in gen 3 they started experimenting with hand holding and it evolved to the shitmess of recurring rivals/buddies we see today.

I play Pokemon because I want to be alone in my own world, why can't they just let me be an anti-social, silent protagonist like Red and Gold? Instead they have to create a simulation of the player making friends and being popular amongst a group of peers. Is this their initiative to fight against autism amongst Pokemon fans?

>>32615348
>only one of each stone in the game

reeeeeeee they're forcing me to use the time capsule

>>32620169
Also consider how the game psychologically reinforces the player today as opposed to gens 1-3. When ever you defeat an evil organization, complete a quest, win the league or beat a gym:
>wow anon you're so strong!
>you saved the world!
>wow you're something special! Glad that I have such a great strong friend!
>here's a trophy!

And on top of that, whenever you walk into a new town there's a whole group of people who've already heard of you somehow and are ready to suck your dick.
In gen 1 you were lucky to get a thank you for taking down the silph co. building. And no matter where you went or what you've done no one acknowledges you as anyone but an unknown trainer, and can even at times be downright rude.
I'm not saying anything in regards to level of difficulty in the game, but newer gens tend to deprive the player of experiencing personal accomplishment by constantly shoving praises up your ass. Not that it should make a difference for someone here, but it can have a totally different developmental effect on children, debilitating them from self-validation.

>>32615348
HGSS is too slow to play. Also, nothing meaningful was updated.

The original GS was barren, sparse, had a bad level curve, terrible Pokemon distribution, and was way too short. Instead of fixing this stuff and fleshing out Johto completely, they kept it the same, updated the graphics, and added nonsense like the Pokeathlon (which is useless - seriously, I can't get a Honchkrow until after the Elite Four? Why the fuck is it there then?)

HGSS sucks.

>>32620309
Non-serious posts go on >>>/b/, Anon.

I can understand people preferring the original Gold/Silver/Crystal for the 8-bit graphics, different metagame, the casino, etc.

Also, the GB Sounds in HG/SS isn't 100% accurate to the original chiptune music.

>>32620588
Because the DS doesn't have the GB/GBC audio hardware to play the themes without changes.

>>32615348
I thought that all hoenbabbies hate gold/silver and HGSS

>>32620620
Not saying like the games. I'm saying g/s is better than hgss.


R/s is the best

>>32620297

Youre putting too much thought into that shit if you think theres a psychological effect with pokemon games. Unless that kid plays videogames and only videogames with minimal interaction growing up then maybe??? Also youre forgetting the limitation of text available for display on the gb/gbc.

/vr/fag here... only ever played Red as a kid. What's best way to experience Gen 2 for the first time? Should I buy a Crystal cart with working battery to play on my GBC for an authentic/classic experience? Or should I just play HG/SS on my DS?

>>32621292
Hack your 3ds and emulate GSC on there.

>>32621292
What about downloading gba emulator app on phone and download gold or silver or Crystal rom

>>32621292
The original gen 2 for sure.
The only problem with Crystal, is that there is no Marrep, probably the most bro pokemon in GS outside the starters, but if you don't have a problem to inject it, catch one after the first gym.

Hey, leave us out of this.

>not Crystal for superior encounter tables to both GS and HGSS

You're totally right though, HGSS has awful color choices. If the whole region got the Ecruteak fall makeover it could've worked as at the very least something different, but as it is it really doesn't look nice. Not a fan of most of the music remixes either.

I have too much nostalgia to say. I prefer the graphics and music in GSC to HGSS (and don't bring up GB Sounds, it was a great concept but executed really really bad), but HGSS has a ton more content and a slightly better Kanto. It managed to include ALMOST everything from GSC, with there only being 2-3 things I noticed were gone on my first playthrough and everything else being something I had to comb through both games to notice which I can't say the same for ORAS but this isn't a Genwar thread so I won't get into that.
Clearly the best solution would be a hacked Gen 2 game with everything added in Gen 4, but some things like the Pokéathlon I can't ever see working on GBC hardware.

>>32621758
So how would have you done the GSC music in HGSS? Because you can't just copy it over as it won't work and still sound the same.

>>32621953
I'm admittedly not well-versed in DS hardware, but couldn't you record the waveform channel and turn that into a MIDI instrument? It wouldn't sound 100% accurate but it would be better than them not even trying and just replacing the waveform with a third pulse channel that completely changes the feeling and sound of a song whose main melody uses the waveform channel.
Alternatively, this would probably take up a lot of ROM space and I don't know how much empty space HGSS has, but record the audio on an actual Gameboy and set looping points for said audio files. This would admittedly be a lot more work because you'd have to program the new songs in Z80 assembly and then record that instead of just making a MIDI, but it would guarantee accuracy.
I know I'm like the only person who gives a shit about the inaccuracy of GB Sounds, but the waveform channel shit specifically just gets under my skin because the best songs from GSC have the waveform as its melody. It feels like they didn't try to make those songs accurate, and it completely ruins songs like National Park and the Surf theme.

>>32622032
DS hardware does not include the GB/GBC hardware like the GBA hardware does so any solution for the GB Sounds will never be perfect.

>>32622049
You're right, but I still feel they could do things more accurately, even though I'm not knowledgeable enough in the Nintendo DS or MIDI to implement an alternative myself if someone somehow plopped the HGSS source code into my lap.

>>32621533
>superior encounter tables
It's hit and miss. Some things are good like having Sneasel at Ice Path, some things are bad like not having Mareep.

>>32615348
HGSS always ran weird. i think they were trying to do to much. i agree with you OP but GSC still suck via the battery running dry.

>>32622232
That's why you can trade with Gold and Silver.

I want to explore Hoenn or Sinnoh with Gen 2 aesthetics.

The original game has a better level curve ironically.

Somehow they managed to make it worse in the remake.

HGSS are awful, and would be the worst game in the series if it weren't for DPPt. The current crop of DiaPer babies who think gen 4 was """the best""" because it's what they grew up with is truly embarrassing to behold.
