>>30171055Sure
>didn't carry over mechanics that Kanto was designed aroundRare or otherwise formerly powerful cunts like Dratini, Chansey, Gyarados and Exeggute were actually worth hunting down because of the Special stat or broken mechanics like Wrap. They made Kanto's encounters the same but didn't rebalance the Pokemon to make each catch worthwhile or not.
>graphicsUpgrading to gen 3 graphics made them have to increase the number of tiles in each area, but it also makes Kanto look a lot emptier.
>musicSubjective but I thought FRLG's remixes were utter trash
They should have waited another gen at least for better graphics and physical/special split that could have made more previously good pokemon made shit by special split good again
>>30171126It has the comfiest graphic style and soundfont, and was designed in a time when GF didn't know if there was going to be another Pokemon or not. Don't get me wrong, HGSS are actually good remakes, but there's some feelings you can't get from it.
