So aside from the elite four what is the best way to grind exp in HG/SS? Also general HG/SS appreciation thread talk about how you enjoyed it, share funny stories, or even post your team because why the fuck not?

The best way to grind HGSS is to trade to Platinum.

I am thinking about buying soul silver because I lost my heart gold a year ago. What Pokemon should I put in my party?

I'm not really sure that's mostly up to you. However I would highly recommend picking up a teddiursa on route 45 the second you get to Blackthorn City. My ursaring has yet to let me down. You may have to invest a couple of tm's and make use of the move tutor to give it a decent move pool though. Also pick up a skarmory on the same route solely for the fact to have one.

The best starter to pick is Totodile. Chikorita if you want hard mode. Cyndaquil is just overall trash.

I recommend Gastly early on for a special sweeper. You can also use this guy as your Mean Look user when the legendary dogs come about. The rest is mostly up to you. I usually catch Onix, Natu, and Magnemite. Last slot I can't really remember.

Oh, the Togepi you get in the beginning can be really good if it has Serene grace and you manage to evolve it into a Togekiss. You're a cheating faggot if you do this however.

Thanks for the advice, but I probably should have specified roughly the level I'm at and what I'm grinding for.

My pokemon are at about 60 right now, and I'm grinding up for the rematch with the elite four.

Is there a better way to grind levels aside from grinding at Mt. Silver?

Good luck grinding in HGSS. It's such a fucking nightmare (especially after playing BW/2).

Is grinding easier in BW/2? I have Black and Black 2, but I refuse to play them until I complete Soul Silver.

It's super easy. Audino for pre elite four, and Black Tower or White Treehollow for level 100.

By pre Elite 4, I meant any time before the elite four. They're found in literally every grass patch. I seriously meant literally.

Yeah trying to train to level 70 by fighting level 40 sneasels was really annoying. I hope they never pull shit like that again.

Yeah, seriously, little things like, y'know, raising your team, get so much easier in BW/2 that it's made earlier games almost unplayable for me.

I mean, on HG I didn't run from a single wild Pokémon, and I made sure to fight every trainer I saw, and I was still 15 levels below the champion when I came to fight him. It's absurd the level of grinding they expect.

Still beat Lance second try; thanks Hitmonchan!

As people have said, try the Gym Leader rematches. You can look up their locations at each time online, I would suggest Serebii. Also each of the trainers in your Pokegear phone app can be rematched if you call a specific one at the right time of day and day of the week. You can find out what each trainer's is on Serebii as well.

I loved HGSS but the grinding was the one part I really hated.

You can always use your box legendary and/or Raikou for Lance.

Speaking of which, I really hate how they made you catch the box legendary in the remakes. It defeats the purpose of calling them "legendary Pokemon".

HG/SS is generally amazing but some of the changes they made are awful. The new intro feels lazy compared to the fully crafted animation of the original. The Game Corner is depressing and the Kimono girls dance hall was butchered. And then there are just these minor dialogue changes which ruin the original gravity of each character's lines.
The one thing that really got on my nerves was how they tried to cater to fans of streamlined experiences by automatically giving the player the items and HMs that before you would actually have to seek out. Worst offender was HM strength. Like, why? Why would you do that?

Today's children wouldn't search the world for hidden Pokemon and items. Today's children would scream at their parents and throw their DS at them and then go back to playing games on their iPhone, so Nintendo makes games filled with cheap instant gratification now.

Have to say this team has worked out damn well. Not the fastest team, but you can't fault them in the damage category.
