RSE is by far the most overrated installment of mainline games, and I'm tired of people hating on everything but those games. >7 hours gameplay >brutally linear >zero postgame >all emerald does is add a few buildings that simulate comp
they are quite literally the worst of all pokemon games and only get away with it because they are so old and forgettable that nobody thinks about it. I'll never forget how disappointed and scammed I felt as a kid though.
If you don't mind some of the odd level disparities, some of the few absent Gen 2 Pokemon from Johto, and waiting/manipulating the clock for some events, then yeah it's up there.

No it fixes none of the obvious flaws the original game had. It even makes the game easier with the physical special split and making some gyms even easier
Yes. It fixes most of the things people complained about in the originals, (Gen2 pokemon availability, team Rocket being more fleshed out, Johto is expanded, Kanto dungeons are restored). Phys/Spec split and better move pools improves many of the shitmons, overall move has more content such as the Battle Frontier and Pokeathalon, and makes the game harder stronger npc movesets and boosted levels.
>(Gen2 pokemon availability, team Rocket being more fleshed out, Johto is expanded, Kanto dungeons are restored
Non of that is fixed. Adding a cringe fanfic tier subplot with Giovanni isn't an improvement either
There are only 4 Johto Pokemon locked to postgame in HGSS, which is one of the lowest in the series - only Gen 1, its remakes, and BW are lower. As a point of comparison, Emerald has 9 Hoenn Pokemon locked to postgame
Yeah
Yes.Gen IV is as good as this franchise is ever going to be, at this point I just replay those games
Yes. HGSS and Emerald are the peak of Pokémon.

Your moronic shitpost will never catch on.
>brutally linear

Yes. Confirmed by DYKG.
