    I don't, and I never liked those islands.

    They were basically there for filler end-game material and dinky side quests just to trade with R/S.

    THANK YOU.

    You have said everything I wanted to say.

    The Sevii Islands don't deserve to be in these EPIC remakes. They were a waste of time, and not even memorable. I couldn't wait until I beat the islands so I could finally trade with RSE. I'm glad they didn't bring back those islands.

    The Sevii islands were only there for Johto Pokemon seeing as it wasn't compatible with GSC. Now, we have the actual Johto region to play in, so no need for the islands. HGSS is compatible with RSE and DPPt, so there goes the idea of putting those Pokemon on the islands.

    Ya know, I was trying to be nice, but these guys put the real point as to why the sevii islands weren't needed. They're filler on which you do next to nothing. EVERYTHING you could do on the islands is possible in HG/SS, quite frankly in Johto alone (not all of it, of course).

    I liked the Sevii Islands. They explained so much. They explained Lorelies disappearance in HGSS and partly who Silver was. It was also a great way to include other things, such as some Johto Pokemon and it was a bit more of a challenge because the Kanto Region was too easy and too fast.

    To be honest their is already alot to do in HG/SS. The Sevi island are a bit of waste seeing as there is already Kanto and Johto.

    The Sevii Islands served their purposed of extending a short game and making more as-of-then unobtainable Pokemon, obtainable. HGSS have a second region.

    Exactly why the heck would we want more! We alreade have Johto and Kanto so there is no other reason for it to be in the game.
    Besides lorelie's explination where she went.

    To add in besides there being just Johto and Kanto, there is also the Battle Frontier included. Yes, a simple flight away, but still there nonethless serving the same purpose without the help of Seven individual islands.

    The Sevii Islands served their purpose for FireRed and LeafGreen like said and its purpose in HeartGold and SoulSilver would only be an extention unneeded.

    What are you talking about? Sequel? They're remakes.

    But, I probably wouldn't really mind if they were in the game.

    Everyone considered GSC sequels to RGBY (which they kind of were, with the whole advancing Kanto storyline and the appearnce of Red and Blue). So by extension people seem to think HGSS is a sequel to FRLG.

    I miss the Sevii Islands.....sorta.

    It was a new place, it had a new feel to it, but it has kinda become pointless now. It was mainly there to give the Johto pokemon a home with the lack of G/S/C.

    I know Sevii Islands were just added to advance FireRed/LeafGreen's story lines but I still love the islands to pieces and wish they were still there...
    Then again, I'm not bored to pieces with them like most seeing as I've never figured out how to get past the start 3 islands until now. Ironically, I now cant defeat the elite 4...

    Oh well, Johto+Kanto is waaay more than enough for me ^-^

    I actually enjoyed the Sevii Islands quite a bit, and I think it would have been an excellent addition to the new games.

    The only way I see the Sevii Islands being a benefit to the game and an actual needed necessity is if it played a strong plot after that of Johto's. To continue the exploration of the game that is and make Kanto part of it as it was in FRLG, but more, then maybe it could have been a plus for the game. However, seeing as they kept the game more to the originals with Kanto, then it obviously wasn't a needed factor to be put in. Regardless, the game was still rated an exceptional score before it came out and that was without the bonus of the Sevii Islands. So, because these islands were never in the games of GSC, you really can't miss what was never put in before.

    Speaking hypothetically, ff they were to make another remake of RBYG and were not to include the Sevii Island like they did in FRLG, then yes, it could be missed as it was a new factor to those games and gave it something more. However, in this case it isn't the same.

    I liked the Sevii, but in HGSS it wouldnt have really the worked. I do wish Lorelei had made an appearance in HGSS but oh well.
