>>37474529It works as an intro to a battle theme, but not on it's own. The only cool thing about it is how it continues as the battle loads in.
I don't see HGSS as the holy grail of the series. Platinum is way better than HGSS, and I'd play most of the games over HGSS, including the original Johto games and the Alola games. The main fault with the Alola games is the unskippable cutscenes. I can deal with everything else but the cutscenes drag it down on replays.
Decidueye is my least favourite Grass starter evolution by far. Chesnaught is one of my favourites.
Kommo-o has my favourite pseudolegendary design, but then I really like Fighting types to begin with. I have never used it though since it's really fucking late.
DP aren't necessarily better than Platinum, far from it, but there are things I like about it more. In DP you get the option to go to either Wake or Maylene first and their levels are the same, whereas in Platinum you're a lot more railroaded. Also Platinum got rid of all 4 of the exclusives (Glameow, Stunky, Misdreavus, and Murkrow) which I feel like was a bad move for variety's sake. While Platinum has more stuff available, the early game seems to have less in it than in DP, ironically.
