>>55865850Junichi says nonsensical things all the time. It can very well be an inexistent thing he made on the spot.
Other than that, he's right. Most old time pokemon fans left but not only because of mobile gaming, but because they were white kids and those white kids today are busy having sex with le refugeeino and working da job of da golemo.
Lastly, but not leastly, HGSS dont really represent a "more than a remake" kind of situation, unlike ORAS do in all their aspect and even lore-wise it presents itself as a whole new game. ORAS are extremely superior than HGSS and, willing or not, the addition of an entirely new battle area rather than the copy paste of the battle frontier is actually ludically more relevant, and superior.
Not to count the fact HGSS add 0 (zero) (((ceroso))) new pokemon while ORAS adds 24.
HGSS adds 1 (uno) new area while ORAS adds like 60.
HGSS didn't even bring a single new character, if not the suicune guy i dont remember if hes in crystal, and 3 new songs.
ORAS brings multiple new characters, a whole episode dedicated to a new character, characters that werent in RSE + multiple new songs and multiple alternate versions of old songs.
In which way is HGSS superior?
