HGSS has better gameplay and more stuff to do but in the end, and 14 years later, GSC has more "soul".
I compiled some posts from the Johto soul thread that explains it well :
>>53253727>>53253767>>53254169>>53255079>>53256335>>53259774>>53259804From the music to the sprite design to some dialogue, GSC feels timeless which is why even people who didn't play pokemon back then find it charming.
HGSS is "just" a good remake
