-   -   4th Gen Does anyone miss the Sevii Islands in HG/SS? (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=196144)

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.

Actually , they put it in FRLG so you'd do something after the game . In here , we alll have our loving Kanto , Red , Gym Rematches and E4 High Level Rematches AND Red Rematches .
Many Stuff to do , so nawpe , I don't miss them . ^_^

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.

Ryanniny October 19th, 2009 11:43 PM

personally i think they should've been included, as hg/ss are sequels to fr/lg.. maybe with some expanded rocket stuff

I thought that the Sevii Islands were cool.

But if they had been included, they probably could have provided a little more insight as to why the Indigo Elite Four disbanded. But maybe they will explian that anyway.

The only thing that I did not like about Pokemon Gold and Silver. No original Elite Four. :(

Minimalism in terms of game content is something rarely appreciated in video games.

On another note I didn't realize you needed the ruby/sapphire to trade until after I got them. ._. Because I technically just realized that now. >.>

Personally, I'd rather they had been left in.

They were made part of Kanto's canon map, even though you had to take a cruiser to get to them, and as pointless as they would be, it'd be neat to see them in their "3 years later" state.

That and, as stated before, we could see Lorelei after her Elite Four role.

Star Girl October 20th, 2009 3:55 PM

The only thing I miss really about them is the possible explanation to what the hell happened to Lorelei and Agatha (most likely Lorelei) since she isn't in the Elite Four anymore. That's was a pet peeve of mine when I first played the games and still is a pet peeve.

Though I'm not getting HG/SS until the American release date, I'm not particularly sad to see the Sevii Islands go. After all, even if they were in, the most they'd do is explain the absence of Lorelei and Agatha. After all, they wouldn't bring anything else into the games aside from storyline and more locations for the same Pokemon. And Pokemon isn't known for the storylines. XD

I'm kind of a person who thinks like "the more regions, the more places you could go and have an adventure, the better" when it comes to pokemon games/hacks.... So, I would definitely love sevii islands on HG/SS as well, regardless of how much they would be useful/how they were useless in fire red.... Maybe they would unlock after only when you beat red? Maybe they would feature hoenn pokemon on those areas? Maybe you could catch arceus on there? Who knows...... I think gamefreak could have done even more amazing things with all the potential on their hands, but they are just not using it, thinking minimalistic....
