I recently replayed Heart Gold for the first time in a while and my main thought through most of the play through was, "This is not enjoyable".
First off team building in these games are one of the worst in the series. Johto just does not have a whole lot a strong Pokémon to team build with or Pokémon good enough to carry late into the game. My brother replayed around the same time I did and we basically had the same team, starter, ampharos, crobat, and heracross. All other strong Pokémon are either locked to post game or weirdly hard to get.
The music is nothing impressive and sometimes boring, (especially the main battle theme) most of the towns are bland and boring and all use the same 3 or 4 music tracks that just make them blend together, the gyms in these games are by far the worst in the series and the levels through out the game makes it a bore to play through. The last team rocket mission has grunts still using Pokémon in there teens and this is after the 8th gym. And a lot of grunts us more than 3 Pokémon so it just turns into spamming literally any move since it will kill due to being over leveled. And then you get to a boss or gym battle and it jumps way back up. It makes the gameplay probably the worst in the series. The game just becomes dull as you fight level 19 Pokémon every battle while you wait to get to a real fight and repeat. And the story is so bad and all over the place. Team Rocket is a joke and you barley interact with them for them to be in the game. You first meet them in the slowpoke well and then do absolutely nothing of value with them for 5 WHOLE BADGES. I couldn't tell you any of their leaders name either. And then Lugia and Ho oh are here for some reason? You could take them out and the game is the same. You beat the 8th gym and then there like "Oh looks like you're the chosen one, here's a feather and a bell, go catch this Pokémon we just brought up for the first time!"
