What makes it so good?

Fuck resellers. Why does this shit cost so much when this game sold a shit ton.

nostalgia. Fixed none of GSCs problems and just slapped on a new coat of paint

>Massive area to explore,

lmao

>safari zone

removed in first gen 2sit's okay when an old game removes content! and the remakes had a shitty version of it

>battle frontier

literally ripped from platinum

>large amounts of pokemon

nope

I liked it but I prefer the original Gold for some reason

Also excellent art direction. There is not a better looking Pokemon game.

Unironically the pokewalker

Heart.

The battle frontier, the most IMPORTANT thing in ANY pokemon game. Obviously everyone who plays HG/SS just rushes to the BATTLER FRONTIER to experience the AMAZING FEATURES such as BULLSHIT RNG and QUIRKY YET USELESS RULES.
Any game that doesn't have the BATTLER FRONTIER is garbage.

SOUL

I mean

HEART

literally SOUL less

Battle frontier, following Pokémon sprites that still look good, if you’re into competitive this was the best gen, gym leader rematches, battle frontier....

Who cares if it's ripped from Platinum? I won't play Platinum because despite its improvements it's still the slog of an adventure that is Sinnoh, but I will play HGSS.

>lmao
>nope
Sure got me there.
>they removed the safari zone in gen 2 so it’s bad when it gets put into HGSS
Dumbass, and don’t tell me it was “shit” when you could actually customize it.
>ripped from platinum
What’s your argument here?

Name a better theme

I've only played gen 1, 2 and 3. I might buy this years game for a look at modern pokemon

Cynthia and Steven have superior champ themes.

It has heart in the title, yes

Pokemon BW World Champion

HGSS are beautiful but the unova game’s very slightly edge them out

>decide to replay hgss
>use only 2 pokemon for the majority of the game
>visit every optional area, battle all the trainers
>both pokemon still end up 8 levels below lance because of the awful fucking exp curve
fuck hgss.

>friend buys the game when it was new
>enjoys it a lot
>retard sells it for dirt cheap "to get more games"
>years later he asks me to sell mine for 25 bucks and constantly asks for it
I'll never understand selling your shit for a few bucks, how hard it is to make 60 bucks?

It was clearly a passion project, interviews with the team said they wanted to add as much as possible.

I still have both my HG and SS copies and both pokewalkers. Why the fuck would anyone sell Pokemon games, that shit never gets cheap.

>Sure got me there.

Johto is literally half the size of kanto and Kanto is smaller than it was in the originals.

If you don't feel like bullshit like waiting until a certain day of the week at 5:45 am for a shitty pokemon no one uses. Which is why everyones gen 2 teams are nearly identitical to eachother.

>Dumbass, and don’t tell me it was “shit” when you could actually customize it.

I love arranging environments in an extremely specific pattern to get different pokemon that are far too late to be added to my team.

>What’s your argument here?

>gen 2 should be praised for something gen 4 did

He's a retard that fell for the "reselling" meme, he probably bought something like Assassin's Creed.

Best Rival theme in the entire franchise right here

You can get Krabby super early, AKA, the best Pokemon.
Due to gambling bullshit they replaced the goldenrod casino with Voltorb Flip which was pretty great.

Fuck all of you guys

I like Krabby, but Porygon is better

youtube.com/watch?v=-L1fBE6RqiU

I must’ve spent 20 hours in Voltaire flip to get a porygon

99% of poor people are stupid. That's why they stay poor 99% of the time.

the game still suffers from bad leveling curve, meh choices of pokemon, and team rocket still only using koffins and rattatas. atleast sacred gold fixas all that.

baited for this exact response

seriously, it's extremely overrated. Not even better than crystal and most of the improvements come from simply being gen 4

heh, i knew you would say that
get double baited kiddo
nothin personell

Its better than Crystal.

trying too hard, 0/10

At the very least johto "being a huge area to explore" is objectively untrue.

The site would die immediately

I agree with that, although I do believe it to be bigger than a lot of the games, just not nearly as much as people claim. It's easy to say "TWO regions!" but it honestly is pretty gutted. Fighting 16 gym leaders and then red was kino though

>HG/SS was released over a decade ago now
I...I'm getting old.

Nothing. Crystal is better.

I personally felt it was spread too thin. Like, instead of being 2 full regions, it felt like your standard pokemon game, but they spread the regular amount of content between 16 gyms with an Elite 4 in the middle. I prefer Platinum.
Still a good game though.

>run toggle
>best pokedex solution, the classics and then more via minigames and extra methods of catching
>radio is so fucking good
>rematch fights with every gym boss and even random trainers
>the phone gimmick is actually good and the tools that it has are actually useful

It looked nice, had good quality of life improvements, your first pokemon walking with you was nice, the pokewalker was a good idea, you had things to do after you beat the league, it capitalized on the nostalgia with more than any would expect of them.

Keep Crystal shit

hands down, one of the best pokemon games ever made.
