>>38877492I feel similar to that. For lack of a better term, both games are 'comfy' to me, but Crystal is a different comfy than HGSS. As I said in a different post, Crystal was my first game, so I feel that attachment to the older sights, sounds, and mechanics since I grew up with that. It's comfy to literally play my first game again. On the other hand, HGSS has the pretty environments, walking Pokemon, and the updated mechanics that makes it easy to go back to. Not saying Crystal is hard to go back to (playing it right now actually), but if I'm in the mood for nostalgia-lite? I'd play HGSS. It's similar to Crystal since it's a remake, but has the newer stuff that adds more to the game. It's comfy to have my starter follow me, the tall grass sprites look really soft to walk through (HGSS has my favorite grass sprites), and it's fun to revisit a familiar region. I hope that makes sense.
