I know that HGSS (and Gen 4 in general) have a ton of flaws and valid criticisms but nonetheless they still remain my favorite games alongside Platinum. Let's have a comfy Gen 4 thread. Even if it isn't your favorite Gen post something you like about it.

Level curve is a cuck objection. Underlevel your pokemon by training mpre than six

I always start HGSS then get bored a couple of hours in, Johto is just the most boring region ever invented.

Honestly fuck BDSP, remakes should take the original and make it shine, not lazily retread the same ground. I hate people going "w-well its a 1:1 remake" like that's a good thing as if the consistently most warmly regarded game in the franchise didn't completely revamp Johto.

Having to grind a few levels before the league isn't a big deal it's how low level the pokemon are.

Who thought keeping roar on roaming legendaries needs to get slapped.

Honestly the only thing that's wrong with HGSS is such a lack of XP in Johto. The only really viable place to grind pre-Clair is Mt. Mortar... I understand that they had to compensate for two regions, but if they raised some levels & you got to Kanto around level 60 without years of grinding, you could also then approach Red with a fairly equal leveled team without even more grinding.

I honestly never really got this. Gyms are a series of one shots, including the last one. Usually I'm over levelled in every game, which has only gotten more of an issue. Usually gyms for me are a fast way to level something I just caught, cause there is never gonna be a challenge even if I purposefully use something at a notable lower level. I'll take non-linearity if it means the part of pokemon which is always easy is still easy.

Johto's real issue is not enough new mons up front. There are a good chunk of gen 2 mons people seem to think come from gen 3 as you never bloody see them in gen 2 without going out of your way.

iirc the tall grass on Route 48 (before the Safari Zone) is the best place to grind, since Tauros yields the most amount of exp and can be met at a relatively high level (20-24 or something).

>muh level curve
>muh new johto mon aren’t used much
>muh kanto post game is just dumb ans you are overleveled
Zoom Zoom arguments
no one who played this when it came out ever noticed and the only ones who complain about muh lack of johto mon were not around to realize that Johto was just a continuation of Kanto.
The whole each region must be it’s unique thing came because they got lazy when RS came out.

Mt Mortar 2F has level 30 - 33 Machoke, Graveler, Geodude and a few others. In comparison, Clair has level 38 & 41 mons, the legendaries are 45 first time, the highest level mons in Victory Road are 36, (your rival, lvl 40), and Lance's highest lvl pokemon is 50. Mind you that's the only pokemon in the e4 that's above 50 in the first time you go to become champion. Then, by the time you're done & off to Mt Silver, the strongest pokemon besides Moltres is lvl 51, and Red's team consists of pokemon from lvl 80 to 88.

So basically, if you just even switch out one of your pokemon for another to train up, you're going to be there for quite some time.

HG/SS Golden Romhack changes a lot of the issues with HG/SS without making it feel over the top. If you add in a few of the johto pokemon for yourself with a tool like PPRE it's almost perfect.
