Crystal. HGSS adds a bunch of pointless features but removes features from Crystal. It's one of the worst remakes of the series.

Crystal if you go for an easy 100% run, HeartGold if you want something more modern and with better QoL.
Both are peak soul, but I'm biased because I played the original Crystal, so grab Gen 2 more than Gen 4 (yes, HGSS is Gen 4, don't deny it. Just like LGFR is Gen 3 not Gen 1)

The species and whether it's shiny is determined when you receive the egg, not when it's hatched, right?

Play Crystal Clear.

It's open-world, so you can start in Kanto or Johto.
Tons of QoL improvements, you can see your 'mons DVs, Happiness and Hidden Power type, and Pokémon can follow you like in HGSS.

Rebattleable Gyms as well, and the game is more difficult.

It's a straight improvement over vanilla Crystal, while maintaining link-compatibility
(no new moves, no nu-mons, no special/physical split, etc) like some romhacks often go overboard with.

Just. Play. CC.

Crystal Clear is Crystal but fixed all the complaints people have about Gen 2.

It even adds a quest for catching legendaries like Mewtwo and Mew, unlike lazy romhacks that just chuck them as wild encounters or stationaries w/o plot.

I don't want your not canon game made for faggots like yourself.
They should just play a romhack that has all the pokemon in it.

For me the box management in Crystal is too clunky to be casual and the gen 4 engine doesn't look soulful like gen 2. Also, the movesets for Heartgold are too casual.

I agree.
But also I'm a geezer who played all games when they came out so I can't stop seeing Crystal through rose-tinted glasses. I feel someone who is a lot more used to newer generations might find Gen 2's shortcomings to be too tedious for a casual playthrough.

HGSS is the better game overall but they're both really good. If you haven't played either then you should always go with the original first in order to contextualize the remake
