GSC are good but a lot of what makes HGSS so fricking awesome is that they added so much on top of that solid foundation. If it had been a more standard remake then it definitely wouldn't have been remembered so fondly.
Yeah, he copy pasted the battle frontier from Platinum, added more cutscenes, and….uh…..
>Walking pokemon with unique sprite sets for literally every pokemon and their shiny, along with unique interactions that change with each area depending on the type of pokemon
>Added a unique side mode in Pokeathelon that's actually fricking fun
>Replaced mindless slots with an actual game that you can, y'know, PLAY
>Added a lot of visual improvements to otherwise bland areas
>Gorgeous area portraits for most areas that change during the time of day and show you what pokemon you can get in that area
>2 entirely new routes that lead to a new safari zone which lets you get Murkrow, Misdreavous, and larvitar before Kanto
>Kanto is greatly expanded with much more trainers added and nearly every dungeon being revived
>Levels in Kanto are raised drastically so it's more of a challenge.
>Rematches for all 16 gym leaders and the E4 that actually adds to their character since you have to find them going about their business in the overworld first. There's even stuff like the double battle with Silver against Clair and Lance, and you can have unique trades with characters like Steven stone and Lt Surge, or take pictures with characters like Brock
>Legendaries and other such events scattered around that weren't there before, often in actual dungeons
But, lemme guess, none of this counts cause you don't like it?
>I-IT LOOKS PRETTIER!!
that’s what remakes tend to do because there’s no actual gameplay to create, yeah.
>Battles, Dungeons, Routes, minigames, and straight up fricking Pokémon are aesthetic features
HGSS detractors are exactly what I’d expect. You are disingenuous and bitter homosexual
>toddler campaign battles where you click flamethrower against bugsy 6 times
>repel using hallway walking simulators
>pokemon locked behind pointless time padding gen 4 is obsessed with
maybe he should have used that time implementing actual matchmaking in the game instead
Do you ever get bored or like think about picking up a football or something
>Do you ever get bored
Yeah, I tend to when I play HGSS.
Just like he said, a disingenuos and bitter individual of the gay persuasion. Don't you have some wieners you should be sucking right about now?
Lame troll response Black person
Try again
>Lazy walking pokemon that aren't scaled properly and look ugly.
>Mindless mini games just bloat the game.
>Defending content removal lol.
>Not really because it looks uglier.
>Wow it's fricking nothing.
>Kanto is still empty.
>Kanto is still easy as frick and not improved.
>Easy as frick joke rematches that are tedious to actually do. You shouldn't have to wait for moronic arbitrary reasons.
>Shoehorned randum legendaries that make zero sense for them being there.
>>Lazy walking pokemon that aren't scaled properly and look ugly.
Wow, they didn't ace it PERFECTLY for their first time trying the concept to a degree that encompassed all 493 available Pokemon in most areas of the game? Color me shocked!
mini games just bloat the game.
Yeah, I too want to have less optional content so I can focus strictly on blitzing the game, beating it, setting it down and then never looking at it again!
content removal lol.
So you're saying Pokemon should have accepted that overseas, it needed to become a franchise that's PEGI 18 (and likely ESRB M) just to continue being sold without alteration?
>>Not really because it looks uglier.
Pokemon has always looked like shit. Blame consumers for telling GameFreak those garbage visuals are acceptable by way of buying the games.
>>Wow it's fricking nothing.
It's only nothing when it's convenient for you, eh? All those years of people b***hing about Johto Pokemon in Kanto are irrelevant now? If those WEREN'T there you'd absolutely b***h about how distribution "wasn't addressed".
empty
So... Just like how it was in RGBY? Remove Team Rocket and Blue from RGBY Kanto and you literally have it in summation. A region that has nothing to its name except for trainers galore.
still easy
It's almost like it's a game for toddlers or something so difficulty is the last thing you should expect.
>>Easy as frick joke rematches that are tedious to actually do. You shouldn't have to wait for moronic arbitrary reasons.
And BECAUSE it's a game for toddlers, all npc battles are "easy as frick" unless you deliberately handicap yourself to an extreme degree anyway. You're correct that rematches being limited to set days of the week is some dumb shit though.
randum legendaries that make zero sense for them being there.
So just like what FRLG and Platinum did prior? Blame those games for setting the standard that continues to this very day.
>Walking pokemon with unique sprite sets for literally every pokemon and their shiny, along with unique interactions that change with each area depending on the type of pokemon
Copy/Pasted from BW where he begged to use the Entreé forest sprites for HGSS, as part if his work directing development on BW's battle engine.
>replaced mindless slots
By need rather than choice, if SK/EU hadn't age-limited gambling in kid's games, both HGSS and BW would have had a gambling house.
If two of your first three points are this disingenuous, it's hard to take the rest of them at face value.
>Copy/Pasted from BW where he begged to use the Entreé forest sprites for HGSS
Do you have a single source for this?
>By need rather than choice
They could just have left it without minigames like in platinum
One the guide book interviews they did with staff, but anyone with a functioning brain and half a cluve about the industry would know that., Remakes don't get tthe budget new game projec ts do and Entreé forest had animated sprites for 649 pokémon. Morimoto worked as battle enginge programmer for Black/White as WELL as directing HGSS and also stating he'd wholesale transplanted shit made for Gen 4's new game for his remake to cut costs and time.
>They could just have left it without minigames like in platinum
Bait/10, they coded in gambling halls in Platinum, my AUS copy has them (only South Korea had made gambling bans in games by then, it was before HGSS's release that EU followed suit and they had to cull the gambling halls form the remake). But you're a delusional nostalgiatard child sperging over her childhood again.
>But, lemme guess, none of this counts cause it's shit?
YES
Try harder
>what makes HGSS so fricking awesome is
Nostalgia from Sinnohbortions who never knew anything better, because DPPT were even worse. HGSS is an abomination next to GSC.
gsc are the shittiest games in the series after dp
I couldn't play HGSS beyond the 4th badge because it tragically lacked Soul
The only place in the game that felt worthy of GSC was Ecutreak city with the new autumn-colored trees
The rest felt like a romhack of DPPt with worse graphics. There's a reason why people mostly replay GSC and not the remakes
The music, the sanitized dialog, the handholding, the chara-design, everything is a downgrade.
Hard as frick 8bit that feels like a metal song
Sluggish re-orchestration with low-quality trumpets and guitars.
They could have done something great, after all DPPt's music makes use of the DS soundchip very well, but HGSS simply couldn't be bothered. Most, if not all the tracks are better in the OG game.
Of course, HGSS has better replayability and the gameplay is much better, it's just that everything else is worse
If HGSS is so beloved why does Game Freak neglect Johto so much?
because they don't want to spend time making 2 regions again and if they released Johto without the Kanto postgame people would riot
They released Hoenn without the Battle Frontier, thought BDSP was acceptable, instituted Dexit, and made SV with more glitches than Gen 1. they either don’t care about fan riots or actively revel in it. Unless they consider the johto games so important that they refuse to release them “incomplete” which would be hilariously ironic conspiring how they treat the johto starters.
Johto just serves no purpose without it being the buildup to go to Kanto. Why would you buy the backyard without the house, why buy the tire without the car, you get the idea.
Dumbass revisionism by someone who gets all their info from trolls who have to erase Whitney's Miltank. It's literally the other way around. The only reason the Kanto postgame was consider amazing instad of lazy was because Johto already provided more a full experience. No one who was alive back then played GSC and thought, "wowsers! Johto fricking sucked, but copy-pasted KANTOOOOOOO saved it"
Let's be real. They absolutely would pull a "The SS Aqua project has started!" but keep Mt Silver with the final battle against Red.
I want a jotho remake just to see this shit. It would be hilarious, and people will defend it
probably exactly because HGSS is so beloved. why mess with a good thing? they made the definitive version of Johto already, they wouldn't go back unless there was a good reason to.
to be honest I don't feel like GF has much interest in doing remakes at all anymore, they just do it to appease pattern gays at this point
So have ICLA do it, considering they have their own partner company with TPC now.
His philosophy doesn’t work outside of 2D games that take 1-2 years of development time which is why he stopped. He’d release a game more unfinished than Ohmori if he had to work within the constraints of what they do now.
HGSS was put together with just 20 people, if he had the budget/team of a modern game I still think he'd make a better game.
nah, those kinds of games are good BECAUSE they have a small team. the best games are made by a tight knit, passionate group of people. look into any classic game and you'd be surprised how small the dev teams generally are.
>he stopped
You are aware it's not his decision to make, right?
He's still a part of this franchise through battle balancing, it's not like he's some victim that DARED to go against the grain and got silenced for it.
He does battle design and balance and has starting with 4th gen. Not coincidentally, competitive is the only part of the game that continues to improve with every gen.
He set the standards too high when GameFreak only wants to make effortless slop and expects people to only anticipate effortless slop.
HGSS is the most overrated game ever. It literally undid most of Crystal's improvements and gives Johto an ugly as frick tileset that looks way too cartoon-y. You're moronic if you think that lazy cash grab was good
lmao you can disagree with the decisions (for some reason) but a lazy cashgrab it is not.
How is it not? It's literally just base G/S with a new (worse looking) coat of paint and the Platinum frontier copy-pasted on.
bump
Nip big wigs have a melty when some mook blows their shit out of the water.
emerald and hgss? i mean he already had a foundation to build on and emerald was the only beloved game
HGSS is consistently in peoples Top 3
Anti-HGSSBlack folk need to be rounded up and gassed.
He was too good for the franchise.
It’s amazing how absolutely NONE of the “criticisms” levied at HGSS ITT are unique to HGSS, but rather it just comes from people pokemon games in their entirety and think every feature and every bit of gameplay that was ever included in a Pokémon game is boring and not worth playing.
I can get matchmaking just fine in XY.
What about the critique of HGSS' aesthetics?
Subjective
>Muh PvP
Just play showdown like a normal person
Its not subjective when the original is consistently praised for its "soul/comfiness/beauty" and the remake fails to replicate that
That doesnt make it a bad game. Simply worse in the original's strongest point
More people praise HGSS’s Aesthetics than GSCs. Don’t believe me? Go make a poll and find out.
I wouldnt trust a poll on /vp/ even in my favor because most people want to shit on new games.
However, the average person tends to confuse aesthetics and graphics.
They thought, for example, that ORAS was better looking than RSE because it was in 3D and therefore "superior"
As time pass and both ORAS/HGSS become more and more "retro" you see less and less people praising their graphics while any discussion about Crystal will mention how nice looking it is or that Emerald had awesome pixel art.
Graphics eventually become outdated but great artistic direction never does.
Gen 6 has a nice aesthetic too tho
Lolno.
>j-just play showdown and find zero games lmao
HGSS's dex being ass and the entirety of the Rocket Hideout and Goldenrod Tower segment being ass is unique to HGSS
