>>44554062>>leaders still have shitty underleveled teams and no johto pokemonWhy is Kanto pokemon a flaw in this first place? Some movesets are buffed anyway like Bugsy's scyther getting u-turn.
>>wild pokemon level curve is still trash and you'll be catching level 20s still by the eighth gym and beyondYeah that does suck for grinding and adding team members. Tauros and Goldeen are still pretty effective and Clair and Lance are all you really have to worry about anyway.
>>game is incredibly slowIncredibly? No. It might be a bit slower than Crystal in the overworld but teambuilding and general progression is better in HGSS.
>>loads of unskippable pointless dialogue about inane shit everywhereExaggeration. Just a few more button presses than usual.
>>still awful wild pokemon distribution, like ratatta being way more common than sentretYou should go recheck how Crystal distributes wild pokemon and its exclusives. Plus HGSS adds that safari zone.
>>music is completely rapedI don't really prefer one over the other
So like do you even like Crystal? The most positive thing you've said about Crystal is "I like the music in comparison to HGSS".
