> No splitThe split was the best thing from gen 4. A lot of Pokémon with the split only fell because of the mass power creep

> Early new Pokémons.So. Most of those were already early enough in GSC. Plus, it helps divert from the same old pidgey and rattata every route. Also, no Pokémon should be locked after the credits as they become almost useless by then.
Also, level curve was made less garbage. In no game should the first gym be level 9, as well as the 7th gym being 4 levels lower than the 6th. The gyms all got slightly better stuff with the best example being red. In GSC, red can easily be hardcore nuzlocked with level 50’s since a lot of stuff can easily wall his mons. In HGSS, you probably need at least level 70’s to nuzlcoke it because he actually has less 1 dimensional movesets.
Kanto is less trashy as the kanto gyms while still being pushovers, at least aren’t lower leveled than the elite 4.
There is more content like pokeathelon to get stones (even though the mini games kinda suck), new johto routes, restored kanto landmarks like cerulean cave. Even gym leader and elite 4 rematches.
Most importantly, HGSS has the battle frontier, being better than emerald’s.
