>>54644865>There were 16 fucking gym leaders to battle, not to mention they are all able to be rebattled.I hate the level curve fags but that doesn't answer their complaint. They want to play the games like they do modern Pokemon, having a full team of 6 or even more with minimal grinding going from gym to gym, HGSS does not really support that playstyle and it's especially hostile to nuzlockers and
youtubers who play the games for "content" and target their videos towards children.Gen 2 as a whole is slower paced and if you want to train a ton of Pokemon you need to stop and actually train them, they hate that. The gym rebattles on HGSS are also on strict weekly schedules, which again fits gen 2's vibe of being a game you play for longer and a world that exists without you, and they once again hate that about the games, they want to finish a playthrough in a day.
I'm being a devil's advocate here but it's because I know very precisely why I enjoy gen 2 so much and it makes me understand why the zoomers hate it.
