>Nice rebuttal.You made a baseless claim.
>No one thinks this except you.[Citation needed]
>It convuluted it and made it needlessly complicated for no fucking reasonInstead of having stats in the hundreds, it made IVs capped at 31 and EVs capped at 510. Anyone can understand this.
>Bait.Fact, I to this day do not understand how DVs work, but I have a perfect understanding of IVs and EVs.
>So you admit HGSS is more handholdy and linear than the originals?Again, no more handholdy or linear than the originals. They still force you to do specific events, the same ones in fact, to get the same results. Crystal is a very, very linear game for the most part with the exception (which HGSS shares) of being able to fight a few of the mid-level gym leaders in whatever order you like.
>HGSS also fucked the Swarm system by locking it to postgameUntrue, you can still get calls from the same trainers as in Crystal which will alert you to when rare pokemon have appeared. The new radio stations in the postgame are additional, not replacements.
