>>54737685did a randomizer run with some four friends. nothing crazy just the pokemon spawns themselves were randomized.
lots of thoughts but nothing on the pokemon selection because it was randomized. i will say it works great for randomizer because of the day/night different pokemon thing + lots of different routes and caves and shit.
we noticed kanto was a bit padded out but i remember on my gold/silver run how fast/empty kanto felt so i guess it was a good fix in the remake.
the level curve is so weird though. not just the weird low level wild pokemon in kanto but trainers going from like 10s-20s around gym fucking five to suddenly giga niggas by the elite four.
then ofc the weird low level pokemon, the gyms scaling weird and then the elite four giant level jump and then you have red.
lots of weird level holes. uhhh what else...i noticed how different this game felt to scarlet and violet. it's about the pokemon in this one. scarlet and violet are all about the trainers, the dog guy, the porn girl, the eevee fucker, the star guys, the cuck, etc.
in heartgold it's just... a kid against a evil faceless org just fucking battling and doing weird shit with weird people. i dunno. it's a sense of being "alone" i suppose. idk how to explain it. i miss it.
