What do you think is the superior Gen 2 game? Crystal or HGSS?

Maybe I'm a contrarian, but I've always felt that Crystal is the ultimate Gen 2 experience. I think that HGSS ruined GSC's perfect vibe. Here is why:
>HGSS ruined the graphics and art style of GSC
>HGSS ruined the music of GSC (partially remedied by the GB Sounds)
>Slow Gen 4 engine
>The HP Bar takes annoyingly long to deplete
>The Crystal Battle Tower is superior to the HGSS Battle Frontier (imo), simply because in Crystal's Tower you're not battling NFE Pokemon 90% of the time like in the HGSS Frontier
>HGSS removed Room Customization (one of GSC's best features)
>GSC's Game Corner is better than HGSS's Voltorb Flip, AND you can just buy coins in GSC if you want
>Not having a Safari Zone is almost better than HGSS's annoying Safari Zone

The only thing that HGSS does better than Crystal imo is that HGSS mostly expanded Kanto to its original size (although I personally believe that GSC Kanto was made smaller ON PURPOSE, to convey this feeling that it's a familiar postgame location for the player, rather than a brand new region like Johto).

I don't even count the HGSS Pokeathlon as a positive over Crystal, because it's just a bunch of zero-substance minigames that are designed to ruin your Nintendo DS touchscreen.

Tl;Dr: HGSS really tries to be the best Gen 2 game, but Crystal still wins
