I've never played a Johto game, should I play Crystal or HGSS?

I think Crystal still holds up. HGSS is a great remake and the best of the remakes imo, but you'll appreciate it that much more if you play the original first.

HGSS, easy, good luck finding an actual copy if you aren’t emulating though

HGSS has objectively better gameplay. Crystal has better sprites, atmosphere, and maybe music but that's all just an acquired taste.

Voltorb flip shouldn't be used as a selling point, but everything else is correct.

If you're just going to play through the game and leave it at that, play Crystal
If you want to keep it going for a long time, do postgame stuff and rack up a hundred hours or two of play time, play HGSS

Up to you, there's enough differences between them to try out the other once you're finished.

And you ignore HGSS has more pokemon available and better distribution, plus some gym fights are buffed, Kanto is no longer a butched mess missing places like Viridian Forest, and the larger postgame.
So yes HGSS has objectively better gameplay.

Doesn't matter if the gameplay itself is worse.

>plus some gym fights are buffed
Not really.

>Kanto is no longer a butched mess missing places like Viridian Forest, and the larger
Wow I get to revisit copy/pasted places that I already explored in Red and Blue, totally worth the rest of the game being worse.

All I have to say is thank you for reddit spacing so it's at least easy to spot you when you appear with your half-assed posts. Not a single argument anywhere here.

Crystal is better suited for playing casually for me, since I can't help breeding for good natures/abilities.

HGSS is objectively better in terms of content, especially regarding kanto, like it's not even a contest, but crystal has much better pokemon availability and if you really like Gen 2 graphics it does it well. Likewise it's slightly less intrusive since there's no forced legendary encounter and less cutscenes. There is reason to play crystal but the pros of HGSS dramatically outweigh the pros of crystal so I'd definitely recommend the remakes

Either. If you want the Gen 2 experience, play Crystal for the best of it. If you want a game with more tweaks and updates that takes place in Johto, play HGSS.
