Objectively the peak of Pokémon. It was all downhill from here.
HGSS
Level curve. Most Johtomons in Kanto. Bad story. Bad Pokémon distribution. Small region.
B2W2 was better.
Yea, but the games stayed up there for a little bit. Then, XY happened.
I also like B2W2, but every game has flaws on the small magnitude you listed to try “criticizing” HGSS. They’re valid, but don’t disprove that the game’s good.
>Level curve.
Pokémon game is shit balance, I agree
>Most Johtomons in Kanto.
Not even true due to the Safari zone. And even without the Safari zone, 6 isn’t most.
>Bad story.
Simple=/=Bad, not everything needs a world ending climax forced into it
>Bad Pokémon distribution.
Not really
>Small region
It was big enough for your mom
Okay I like HGSS but you’re defense is just retarded. Stop falseflagging.
The level curve meme is overplayed, for most of the game you'll only be 3-5 levels over the gym leaders which is normal for a casual Pokémon playthrough, unless you're only using 1-2 Pokémon which means you'd be overlevelled anyway. A bigger problem is the size of Johto and the story, in HGSS it feels kinda small/short/underwhelming compared to DPP and RSE, but the story part is my opinion and I still like it.
larvitar can be caught in the safari zone pre-postgame. sneasel, houndour, porygon 2 and blissey are the only johto mons available only postgame
Say what you say about DP and BW, but 2005 to 2012 was Pokemon's best era.
