>>43479949>YellowAmazing spritework. Weird Pokemon placement. All starters being available is a nice change but removing Raichu and Growlithe from midgame sucks. I'm mad with the cloning glitch fix.
Overall, there are reasons to skip Yellow and play Red/Blue so this is the worst expansion. Still, I prefer Yellow to RB.
>CrystalGreat aesthetic changes to spritework and locations. Suicune's subplot is nice to have. Battle Tower is honestly horrible. Little changes like adding female protagonist and giving random Daycare Egg to the player are appreciated.
Overall, it's a nice upgrade but not that substantial.
>EmeraldAverage spritework - most of the animations are boring. I have mixed feelings about changed difficulty. Plot is honestly even more retarded than in RS. Battle Frontier is a nice addition but gets old fast. My favourite change is font size which says a lot about my opinion.
Overall, another nice upgrade but not substantial to people who don't care about battle facilities.
>PlatinumCompletely revamped the whole region's aesthetic while changing spritework. Improved battle speed. Changed Battle Tower to more fun Battle Frontier. Fixed retarded level curve at the end of the game. Fixed Pokemon availability.
Overall, great expansion. It's not even a contest, Platinum wins by a huge margin and overshadows DP.
