>Forced Ho-oh/Lugia encounterOh no I have to fight the legendaries on the cover of the games that I was planning on facing in the first place.
>Shoehorned Kimono Girls "chosen one" plotThey give substance to how you literally get to meet the 2 legendaries. In GSC a literal random NPC just hands you the Silver Wing.
>Butchered tracks (only the battle themes were an improvement)That's entirely your opinion.
>Removed many details found only in GSCName one then.
>Removed room decorationsIt was a useless mechanic and should have had more substance even in GSC.
>Removed Phanpy/Teddiursa/Sneasel Crystal encountersThey weren't removed from the game their ecounter locations were only moved. Phanpy's location is actually the same with it only being game specific to HeartGold instead of SoulSilver when it was originally Silver. Excluding Teddiursa, you still meet these Pokémon late in the original games in areas literally next to each other.
>Added Route 47/48 even though they don't fit thematicallyThey added these routes to take you to the Safari Zone as well as having an area to encounter the Hoenn trio. How do they not fit thematically? Cinawood City lives at the very edge of cliffs and can easily be interpreted as tall. You pass through a cave that is connected to these cliffs that is literally called "Cliff Edge Gate" of course route 47 will be at the top of cliffs surrounded by the very ocean that surrounds Cinawood and even on the GSC Johto map the area where the city resides is shown as green despite these cliffs which means it makes perfect sense for Route 48 to have more plains of land and trees within it. The sea is one of the common themes of Johto along with the rural Japanese culture I don't see how this doesn't perfectly fit with Johto.
