BDSP were remakes that took Pokemon back to what it should have stayed rather than becoming the abomination that it was post-gen 4. It gave a remake that was visually identical in spirit, having chibi overworld graphics with full body battle graphics (just like gens 1-4), and the improvements to it (removal of HMs, grand underground, the new postgame content + improved E4 and champion, following pokemon, EXP share) make it THE way to play Gen 4.
LGPE have the best catching mechanics in the franchise, hands down, and are the best way to play the kanto games now. Unlike the mainline games, where you just mash A to catch a pokemon, there's now actual skill involved (which is why the noskill faggots on /vp/ hate it). Any complaints about its easier difficulty can be leveled with no question at every other game in the franchise; pokemon has never and will never be a challenging franchise because it's aimed at kids and general audiences. If you want a game that kicks your ass, pokemon isn't it.
>>53439313Fuck off, clover is steaming dogshit and always has been. It's unfunny, looks uglier than gen 1 (which is impressive), and the regional dex is somehow worse than gen 5's.
