>>48125709>A phone system is in HoennDoes it have a radio? Can you get gifts and exclusive info from your contacts?
>In GalarSo it's not in a good game. I'll admit though, Legends: Arceus has me excited for it coming back.
>Safari zones are a thingIt's not the same. The Bug Catching Contest felt more organic, and the competition with rewards is comfy as fuck.
>HoennI don't like Hoenn.
>FireRedNowhere near as fleshed out as it is in Crystal.
>HoennCan you decorate your bedroom in Hoenn? No.
>True in the technical sense but other regions have postgame routes which is basically the same thing (actually arguably better because they aren't shrunken down like in gen 2 and they aren't routes you've already played in another gameAnd yet the Kanto postgame in GSC is bigger than all of these extra routes that you'll get through in 30 minutes. Plus, I'v3 never played a Kanto game nor do I ever intend to, so the postgame in GSC is always fresh for me.
>These are just the bare minimum of any pokemon game.That was my point. That Crystal still holds up well today.
>abilitiesDon't care for abilities. Also, battle mechanics don't count as content.
>naturesGood. Natures ruin the newer games for me. Again, battle mechanics aren't content.
>most hold itemsShow me how you can get the Berserk Gene or Mysteryberry in any game past Crystal.
>any pokemon past gen 2The original 251 is the quintessential Pokédex. Anything past that is not needed for me. I do like a lot of the newer designs, but I don't care about them that much.
>overworldWhat?
>onlineAn argument could be made for the Mobile Adapter. Also, if you're going to use "no online" as an argument for it being outdated, then by your definition, anything below XY is outdated too. Gen 6 and 7 will probably join that list too at some point in the near future.
