>>43861955>judging dungeon design on a fucking 30 year old handheld.Qbillio might be the only game with better puzzle design. The hardware didn't allow for intricate designs.
There are legitimate gripes with the games, with type advantages and pacing being the most legitimate. But story, for it's time on its hardware, was engaging enough. World was great. Music is some of the best in the series, and monster designs are the best still.
In fact, it was so good, they've been trying to recreate the magic for the last 10+ years starting with gen 5, a soulless reimagining of gen 1.
That being said, the best games are HG/SS
