HGSS is shit compared to BW/2.
>>38218331
Buy BW, HGSS has the same issues that bog down the original game from 1999. BW was the last time GF put any effort in the series and it shows.

BW are good games that stand for themselves
HGSS are some of the best "Pokémon" games but still lack a little compared to the complete "actually a JRPG that just happens to be Pokémon" that BW is. plus, you can get BW2 later and use the memory transfer and get an even better experience of what is oft-regarded as the best games in the series

also BW+BW2 combined is less expensive than HGSS

I think this reply explains it best. HGSS is the better representation of the authentic Pokemon games, but BW+BW2 are better standalone games if you're looking for a more polished, newer game. Plus you have the money for both, so you mind as well.

Shit taste, all of you. Like whichever you want more, but HGSS were 10/10 remakes that exceeded all expectations.

That said, you should still go for BW, OP. Never buy pricey old games from Gamestop, there's a good chance you'll get a phony copy or at the very least one in absolutely shit condition. Pretty sure there's lots of counterfeit copies of HGSS floating around. Gamestop doesn't bother trying to filter these through, last I checked. HGSS also isn't worth sixty fucking dollars for just the cartridge. Get BW, enjoy it, but don't become a massive faggot who shitposts every other gen.

No joke, your best bet is ebay. You just need to be very cautious when purchasing a copy there. Learn how to spot bad fakes, and never buy from any Chinese sellers or any lone cartridges listed as "New (Other)", etc. As long as you're thorough you should be fine, but you'll probably still end up paying a premium because HGSS are well liked and most people don't want to give up their copies.

>>38218622
You mean the fact that it's a faithful remake that doesn't go dicking with things that don't need to be dicked with, while still adding a whole bunch of new shit on top. Let me guess, you're meming about the leveling curve or some shit?

BW:
+ Handled legendaries the best of any game (subjective)
+ 4 Seasons
+ 3 rival trainers, one of them being a serious threat, one of them being a friendly professor assistant, and one having a maturity arc
+ Team Plasma is a threat to your way of life, not just some flashy terrorist gang stealing pets
+ New pokemon that are unique to the region
+ Double battles can happen in the wild, along with random events

- The bottom screen is now useless
- Fair amount of backtracking
- Some items/pokemon are locked behind season, not day/night cycle
- no gambling
- Some pokemon have high evolution levels, Golurk is a horrifying example

HGSS:
+ Bottom screen for easy menu access
+ Pokemon follow you
+ Voltorb Flip
+ Great rival
+ Dragon's Den no longer sounds like your GBC is dying
+ Pokealthelon is a minigame barrage if you're into that
+ Berries can be farmed and carried

- Pokemon distribution still kinda sucks
- Lance is still a Flying-type trainer
- Team Rocket is stupid in this game
- Who the hell is Lyra and why does she matter?
- Only thing that hints to getting Lugia in HG/
Ho-Oh in SS is a key item from some Hiker in Pewter City, wtf
- Dragon's Den song is still shit

>>38218760
DPPt's underground was garbage and a copypaste of the Battle Frontier was welcome. BF alone is enough to keep a player occupied for a long time, but there's still a good bit more.

Nostalgia is the primary motivator behind wanting any remake. I'm not even a johtoddler, I just thought HGSS were fantastic games. Anyone who says otherwise is being a delusional, nitpicky, contrarian faggot.

Stuff from a better region, very cool.
Also the Underground was infinitely better then whatever they offered in HGSS. I got early stones for eevee and pals, fossils, shards for move tutors, stones for weather, etc. Meanwhile I have to get through Johto to Kanto to get any nice items.

They did it in a way that integrated them into the regions, unlike ORAS or USUM which just threw holes at you through shitty minigames.

Are you talking about seasons, anon? The shit you have to wait a month for just to change? But you're right, gen V did it better here. Doesn't make HGSS shit, though. Why do you have to assume any praise of HGSS is an attack on gen V?

>Except in the worst way possible after Platinum already perfected it with the Battleground instead of waiting for day like HGSS.
So you're okay with route changes being tied to real world time, but you're not okay with gym leader rematches doing the same? Come the fuck on, anon. Gen V didn't even have rematches, either. PWT doesn't exactly count, it's a different animal altogether.

>Nothing special.
It fixes everything wrong with their teams.

>Gimmick that goes out the window once you get the bike and Fly.
A gimmick people still want.

>Yeah, that was cool. Just with you could change the pokeball design from camo to classic red.
What are you trying to say?

>hiding story arc behind event
>this is good
People like you are why we don't get cool in-game events anymore, you realize that, right? I could understand if were totally locked out of them in future playthroughs, but there's the WFC exploit now and even if it didn't exist, you could easily get a flashcart and download the distribution cart roms.

>Also the Underground was infinitely better then whatever they offered in HGSS.

Platinum's rematch system allowed for multiple rematches between gym leaders and former companions on YOUR TIME. HGSS has you play by their rules meaning you'll never fight a set of gym leaders in a row, you'll have to wait them out. Sure you could try ot change the time settings, but that admits the problem of the dojo.

Every game, but Gen 3, does this. It's something we should expect,

I'm an autist who only uses the normal pokeball.

If I have to do a third party method to get more out of my game, that's a big flaw.

You did have to keep to a schedule just to call them, sure, but they'll wait at the dojo for you to challenge them any time until you fight them again. It's not that bad and it's another use for the pokegear gimmick in the game. Whether or not you like the pokegear itself is a different subject entirely.

>Every game, but Gen 3, does this. It's something we should expect,
XY flat out left them out, and gen VII's rematches are barely an improvement over the first round. Regardless, it's still postgame and it's still an addition over the original GSC, which was my entire point there.

>I'm an autist who only uses the normal pokeball.
You also worded it like shit.

>If I have to do a third party method to get more out of my game, that's a big flaw.
Are you just mad that you weren't able to make it for the original distribution of these events? It's cool, fun shit. I miss events like these, or better yet the ticket events in gen III or DPPt.

>Spiritomb unlocking sucks ass, yeah, but the rest of the Underground makes up for it with the reason stated before.

You're complaining that you have to grind to get a pseudo legendary the developers originally didn't intend for you to have until the postgame. A pseudo that, even in this remake, you can't obtain until you're well past the halfway point through Johto. You're mad that the game isn't balanced to have very high level Pokemon at the end of Johto's adventure, because there's still a whole second region to go through. God you're so fucking retarded.

>I'm fighting pidgeys and raticates all the way to Kanto and it doesn't help that Johto pokemon available to use suck ass.
You can find Wooper and Mareep very early on, both of which evolve into great Pokemon for the single player, and hell Quagsire ain't too fucking shabby for competitive, either. You've got Hoppip, Sunkern, Miltank, Sudowoodo, etc. who aren't exactly "good" competitively but still fine for the main game proper and fun to use. You have lots of good options and there's nothing wrong with a region that's directly connected to Kanto having a lot of Kanto Pokemon. They're next to each other for fuck's sake.

>Equivalent of being the smartest kid in the shirt bus.
I'm going to be generous and disregard the typo here. Anyways, HGSS had a better postgame than all of gens I - III and DP as well. I'd even argue it has a better postgame than BW, but I'll admit that's personal opinion. I didn't like BW's postgame, didn't care about catching the sages or the underwater area with no special Pokemon to catch, also wasn't a fan of the Battle Subway.

I really liked going back to Kanto in GSC and HGSS. It was fun to see how shit changed since RGB/FRLG, and it was something of a bonus on top of the already pretty good for its time main game. I wish we'd see more region revisits, but I know it'll never happen.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about, Tyranitar has been consistently OU in every gen since its introduction, something very few Pokemon can ever claim. Dragonite, Salamence, Metagross, and Garchomp are all still fantastic Pokemon, too. Only reason Hydreigon fell off in usage is because Gamefreak introduced a type it's 4x weak to.

Goodra and Komoo-o are both really "meh" and underwhelming as pseudos, but the latter's new Z-move helped it a ton. Pseudos are rare for a reason, and that reason is they're generally very powerful and completely trivialize the single player experience. Most of them look cool, too. Like I said, gen VI and VII's pseudos weren't as good, but that doesn't change the intent. Hopefully SS gives us a great pseudo again.

You're the one bitching about not being able to "reasonably" get Tyranitar before the elite four, seems pretty clear that's what your problem with the leveling curve is.

Yeah, it’s shit. I’m fighting under leveled trainers and gym leaders that never make past the lv. 50 yard. What the fuck were they thinking by not including a VS. Seeker in this game?

You don't need their levels to be super high, the game is balanced for lower levels for most of it. When you start hitting higher level shit you can just use the Elite Four to train, something you do in most games that don't offer a better option anyways.

Yeah, for lower levels. There’s nothing for higher level Pokemon unless you’re willing to waste the time constantly changing the clock to rematch trainers. You know you’re fucked when there’s only the E4 to rematch when previous games had other ways for you to train post-game.

Because Gen 2 are the easiest games in the series. There’s nothing stopping you from sweeping the entire game till Red with Typhlosion, which is why it’s so hard to make a team: because it’s easy as fuck, and that’s saying something for a Pokémon game.

>You're exaggerating the issue.

It’s so easy that it brings the game down. Which sucks because they hit out of the park with Platinum and FRLG which had the best difficulty. Then HGSS falls on its face after so many games. It’s literally like Skyward Sword all over again.

Didn't bring down the game for me or millions of other people, anon. Having low difficulty, or high difficulty for that matter, doesn't make a game bad. You can say you don't like it, fine, but the game itself is perfectly fine.

Because they were going for a faithful remake to appeal to the nostalgiafags who were meming for gen II remakes to begin with. There's nothing wrong with that. At least they added most of the good things from the newer gens, and the Battle Frontier from Sinnoh gives you plenty to do after the main quest is done.

Meanwhile ORAS went out of its way to change a ton of little things while somehow failing to build upon the foundation set up by its predecessors.

Most likely. I just remember Johto being bigger. Playing through it now, it seems so much smaller which makes sense since they needed to fit another region on the cartridge. Also, as a kid, I'd spent so much time in Johto, that I'd go back and do the weekly events like the Bug Catching Contest. Now, I just didn't bother if it wasn't up when I passed by it.
