4th Gen Does anyone miss the Sevii Islands in HG/SS?

[Doxasikyrie]

I've noticed that the Sevii Islands are not included in HG/SS, which is a shame to me. I thought HG/SS were supposed to be sequels of FR/LG and therefore was expecting to see the Sevii Islands. I'm a little bummed, but I still love the game.

What do you all think? Should they have included them or did they not serve any purpose?

 

[Guy]

The inclusion of the Sevii Islands really depended on whether or not the games needed it from the start. For instance, after completing the main storyline of FRLG, there would have been nothing to do if the Sevii Islands weren't included. However, HeartGold and SoulSilver both extend from Johto into Kanto afterwards. So, any purpose that the Sevii Islands could have served within the game were simply implemented within after Elite Johto and Kanto. Not to mention, after the main storyline of Johto and Team Rocket what is now included within HGSS gives the player a lot more to do after the main plot has been completed.

So again, do I miss it seeing it has not made a return since FRLG? No. Why? It simply wasn't needed as it was for FRLG, and HeartGold and SoulSilver have included much more than the Sevii Islands had brought in before.

 

[Sydian]

They took them out? Thank God. They were stupid. Finding the Ruby and Sapphire so that you could trade with Ruby and Sapphire? Yeah, that's really creative.

There might be nintendo events to get to the Islands. Who knows.

Nah. Over 7 complete towns to be unlocked by a single Nintendo event?

I do miss them. Could make everything more organized.

 

[Pyrax]

I miss them, but they were added in FireRed and LeafGreen so the player could have something to do after the game.

 

[Jack Surge]

There's not much land to explore on them, they contribute nothing to the plot, and you can't fly between them and the rest of the map. In all honesty, I don't care that they're missing.

 

[Blaziquaza]

Well,I kinda miss em.It would be nicer to go up to Mt.Ember and catch Moltres instead of inside Mt.Silver,but oh well.

 

[~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~]

In a way I kinda missed them since it did make the games a whole lot longer and some high level Pokemon were found there which help me raise my Pokemon


:t354:TG

 

[DeeJayFusion]

Nah man, they sucked in FRLG

 

[Lady Gaga]

I would have liked it if they were in the games, but Im not crying over it since they are not.

 

[xXI JOE IXx]

I hated those Islands >=( Im glad there gone!!

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I really don't care one way or another. The only significance they might have played would be in explaining Lorelei's absence in HG/SS. It's not like they were significant otherwise, not to mention they served as fodder for some truly horrendous fan fiction, which already made me "strongly dislike" them.

 

[Ellie]

I miss them, they were really fun and added more to do to the game. Plus it would have been cool to see how the Rocket subplot had changed in HgSs, and if maybe it was still going in the Sevii Islands once again, and seeing how it changed.

 

[mikey]

I didn't really care for the islands much... I'm kind of glad they arent in HG/SS.

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

I hated the islands, the only reason I went to them was to trade with R/S, catch Moltres and get Cerulean Cave unlocked.

 

[CrashmanX]

Would have been nice if they were there just to be there, but since there not oh well. Also would have been nice if they went ahead and made the game a 256MB game and included extra areas like Sinnoh and Hoenn but thats nintendo for ya >_>

Lol then good luck buying the game at the retail price of $45... lol.
And I do miss them, mainly for the experience... But I guess Kanto kept me going... for an extra 3 days at least...
:3

 

[Crystal-Heart]

I don't really miss them. It was cool that they were included in FRLG, but definitely not as cool as going to Kanto in GSC/HGSS. Most of the reason for the Sevii Islands was to catch Johto Pokemon and give the player something to do after the main storyline, as has been said, not to mention include some references to Johto & Generation II in general.

 

[Guy]

If the Sevii Islands were brought back in the game, then it would have had to serve a different purpose than before. Team Rocket's plot there would have passed by as it occured nearly three years ago. As well as some of the building put up would have had to be altered, such as the Day Care or else the game would have included two [though you wouldn't see me complaining xD].

Anyhow, if it was brought back, then all the better, but again with Kanto being in, the Sevii Islands isn't much of a neccesity anymore. However, I would admit that there would have been some positive effects to the game if it were included like it was in FRLG.
