HGSS is the superior game but I only replay the original G/S. Anyone else like this?

Yes. HGSS added so much but they just don't have the same level of soul.

I can't play HG/SS because
>They butchered the music
>The spritework is dull whereas GSC is still beautiful to look at 20years later
>They added ridiculous shit to the storyline

I don't care about "MUH gameplay" that much, the sense of adventure is more important so I prefer GSC

Yes.
Hgss are good for younger anons, but gsc hit the right spot for me, and I do not care about physical/special split aside from post game and competitive.

Yep. I don't even know why. I know HG/SS is the definitive version and I do like them a great deal but it's generally Gold I play. Not even Crystal.

I guess it could be just because I'm playing them as a side thing and not a main thing meaning the extras are not something I want to get involved in to feel like I beat the game because I don't intend to spend more than 20 - 25 hours at it, as opposed to 999:59+. I don't know.

Yes. I've never replayed HGSS but I've played gen 2 games many times. The engine is faster and there's just less clutter. I also prefer the sound and aesthetic.

I prefer the retro style, can never replay HGSS. Same with Gen 1 games. It's probably dumb nostalgia since I grew up with these games, but I can never experience the real Kanto and the real Johto with the remakes, the GB art and music are irreplaceable.

Actually thinking about it, that really is it, I believe.

I'm content to pour hours into new things with the content to back it up. But when I'm re-playing something, I don't want to have to redo everything.

Which is part of what annoys me about Gen 7 - you're forced to do everything and in a very specific order for the most part. Even if it wasn't 85% tutorial every 36 seconds it would be annoying.

At least with most RPGs you have some sort of freedom, even if they're linear so you can change things up. Sad that even NES RPGs had more freedom than games made decades later.

Same here. I had way more fun with VC Crystal than HGSS. Part of it is gen 2 nostalgia, but the feel is way different in HGSS. >>37430958 says it all really. It's also the little things, like the elemental punch TMs and shit like that which I prefer over HGSS.

Huge gen 2 fag here. I played crystal on any device possible and never got tired of it. I did play through SS once but like you guys here, i keep coming back to the original. Its the music, art, gameplay that just keep pulling me back in no matter what.

>Time system
>All the side-activities
>Hatching eggs
>Attack animations
>Amazing soundtrack

I mean sure, the remakes bought us some cool stuff like gym rematches, pokeathlon and lead pokemon following you around but nothing in the remakes feels me with joy like whenever i
listen to the original soundtrack or when my pokemon execute some cool attack like Zap Cannon or Aeroblast.

wow good thing moves of other types exist

this is why I can't take "muh split" fags seriously, what they actually mean is that they're too autistic to use moves other than STABs.

I bet it didn't bother you when the game first came out.

Pokemon is a very simple game. GSC moreso

It's weird. I started with gen I, played a lot of it, but gen II makes me more nostalgic than gen I does. Just looking at this picture makes me feel incredibly nostalgic.

I fixed that in my vanilla romhack and ghost types take advantage of Special Attack now. Here's a full list of changes. https://github.com/UberMedic7/patched-crystal/blob/NEWBRANCH/ReadMe.txt

I get it in a way. Whenever i see an overworld map from gen 2 i get all warm inside and go "maaan this look cool!" I guess one of the main factors is color. Gen 1 little to no colors, come Gen 2 and suddenly everything looks so alive and out there not to mention Gen 2's great art direction also helped. Even tho they used limited colors they used the RIGHT colors and made everything look great.

The music is definitely better; I don't think there's a single remix in HGSS I actually prefer over the original.

I just like the way the originals look and sound better and I like that I can get the odd egg from the Daycare Man in Crystal. That doesn't happen in the remakes for some reason. Also, and this is a big plus for the originals for me, there's no Lyra butting into the game. In Crystal, the gender you don't choose doesn't show up as your best friend forever. I hate it when they do that.

Objectively HGSS are better (or at least have more content) than Crystal... but I prefer the experience of Crystal over any of the other Gen2 games. (I think it’s the color palette.)

If only because the originals are easier to restart, replaying Heart Gold means moving shit like my Embedded Tower Groudon over to Platinum and trading back after.

Playing with natures, evs, ivs, and such is just tedious when you have the same game without them or minimalized older forms of them. Just as many genwun/gentoo mons befit from the physical/special split as they do hurt from it, and few abilities are really stand out for those mons as well, and abilties only become a major factor later in the series with mons built around their abilties. HGSS was fun when it was released due to stuff like the Safari Zone threads on /vp/, but a lot of the stuff isn't really needed for just regular re-playthroughs.

Off the top of my head, Alakazam made great use of the elemental punches in gen 2. Not sure if it had as much versatility in gen 4 besides psychic/focus blast. That said it's still always been a solid pokemon

I think the gen 2 games are better for replaying because they're simpler.
