>>53867631You can't "fix" what's baked into the core design of the region anon. The region is tropical, sure in the original this was an inoffensivable flaw since HM reliance was absolutely terrible. But stuff like the Latias ride makes it doable, and that is introduced before the water routes iirc.
Like, yes, you'll have to surf once on every route like in the original, but that's like complaining about having to play the video game. You are malding over surfing for 2 mins from Lilycove to Mossdeep. Just hold right Anon, it's not that deep.
>>53867625Tbh, idk if the old remake model is all that much better.
FRLG is solid, well made games but they changed basically nothing in Kanto. HGSS also fixed nothing from GSC. Both games tacked content ontop of just a polished version of the originals.
Only truly outstanding remake was ORAS imo because despite what you may argue, it at least changed things. New story quest, slightly more content, PSS? At least it's SOMETHING.
>"An HGSS-style remake would added the new shopping mall city somewhere else on the map instead of replacing Mauville, or kept the Battle Frontier and Trainer Tower and then just placed the Battle Maison somewhere else"Ok so HGSS only doubling down on the issues the originals had while fixing nothing and running on that terrible gen 4 engine. Very cool remake.
