>>50219673I've got a soft spot for the aesthetic of Game Boy Color RPGs so they have that going for them, but nah, you're probably good. HeartGold and SoulSilver are the only remakes in the series that I would consider to be the "definitive" version of that adventure
>no significant content cuts>no emphasis on wacky alternate timeline bullshit like in ORAS and Lets Go (and FF7R lel)>all of the major updates of Crystal have been kept>changes that tastefully improve the original concept e.g. fixing Mt Silver into a more interesting dungeon>cool touches that showed they actually cared, like how they made two separate remixes for Ecruteak/Cianwood where in the original they shared music>improved Kanto, still nothing special but way better than the originalsHGSS aren't perfect games by any means but unless you're absolutely fiending for limited color palettes and chiptunes, you're not really missing out on anything by skipping GSC
