-   -   4th Gen What do you think of HG/SS? (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=218699)

I think Game Freak FINALLY got it right with HGSS. Fully integrating the touch screen, the ability to have EVERY Pokemon walk with you, and the Pokewalker easily make this game the best on the DS. If they would have carried over the Secret Bases in Emerald it would be the greatest game ever. Emerald still rules with the ability to create multiple Secret Bases full of Lv100 Chansey with no offensive moves. Nothing comes close to legitmately leveling up your Pokemon than that.

okay how are there lvl 7 Beedrill that doesn't happen how about level 8 Noctowl not possible but there are like 10 pokemon that can be caught in the wild at Level that would be impossible on Platinum there was only one that I know of and that was the Golbats in Mt.Cornet but you had a very low percentage to see one of those and what about lances dragonite lv 50 first that is impossible too it was also so easy to beat I died a little inside its like they didn't even try

Edit: oh whats this just encountered a Ledian hmm level 5 thats not right

I played it on ROM, it was going good - until I forgot to save. It's pretty hard, I guess... I haven't been playing Pokémon lately, so...

Masterge77 May 24th, 2010 9:24 AM

Great games, but the english versions SUCK because of censorship, the censorship "absol"-utely (oh c'mon, "absol"-utely is not a bad joke, this is a Pokemon forum for petes sake!) RUINED my childhood by renaming Tin Tower, changing entire lines of dialouge, and Voltorb Flip, I always hated Voltorb anyways, but you can blame Jack Thompson and PEGI for killing the Game Corner......

In general, I prefer the original GSC, 8-BIT FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!

Mortalis May 24th, 2010 10:27 AM

This game is the best Pokemon game I have ever played. Definitely top-notch sexy. I guess I expected a lot from it anyway, seeing as It's Johto, the best region with the best story and game play IMO.

So, It's like Pokemon G/S/C on crack.

Heart Gold May 24th, 2010 1:09 PM

I loved HG so much that I bought SS today.

Gregora May 24th, 2010 1:17 PM

I've enjoyed my copies of HGSS (preordered both and both Ho-oh and Lugia are hanging around Giratina on my shelf...whenever my cat's not knocking them down) and besides my iffy-ness on the game corner (I'd love it more if I could just buy coins or if they had both of the gamecorner games from 2nd gen), I feel that it's a nice homage to G/S/C. Especially since I gave up trying to play my old Silver version since the save battery died years ago. It's at least a good replacement for some of us who have DSes and broken carts.

Heart Gold May 24th, 2010 2:31 PM

I hate GameStop because they didn't give me my Ho-Oh Figure. I went in to get my pre-ordered copy and while I was waiting for them to give me the figure they said NEXT.

pieguy259 May 24th, 2010 2:57 PM

Loved the game, hated the fact that I couldn't get the preorder figurines here because apparently Australia is a mythical land of unicorns and fairies who have never heard of figurines.

560cool. May 25th, 2010 9:48 AM

It was cool as storyline, graphics, and playing ...
But, try getting a Pokemon up from Lv. 2 to Lv. 50 for using in the Battle Frontier ! IT TAKES FOREVER !! @[email protected] Mostly because you're afraid of most trainers which have Lv. 56 Pokemon which YOU have to beat with that Lv. 31 Golbat of yours !
God freaking kill me, I off the wave, still playin it, but I MUST finish my team before I enter the Battle Frontier. And Pt. was all faster .. ;_;

Porygon-Z May 25th, 2010 9:50 AM

It's okay I guess, It killed a bit of time, but I still use platinum as my main game.

Leo™ May 25th, 2010 9:56 AM

Playing Soul Silver on the DS brought back old memories from when I was younger playing silver on the GC. It has been great so far and I think Game Freak hit it on the spot doing remakes of Gold and Silver.

In a way I sort of agree with you. HG/SS were great games but the originals are still the best IMO. I honestly could see myself playing Silver on and over again, never got bored of it (and Johto was one of my least favorite regions).

The menu on the touch screen was nice. Better way to use the DS' touch capabilities and should have been implemented in DPPt in the first place though I hated the PC design. It was just kinda messy and not as fast as the PC in previous games.

And overall, it seems that they were too afraid to improve from the originals to bring it up to standards with Pokemon Platinum, which is a shame, considering GameFreak said themselves that they wanted new comers to think of it as a new game. Notice how the Hoenn and Sinnoh dex doesn't disclude random evolutions of Pokemon, it's as if they're saying that the Johto dex doesn't deserve to have Pokemon like Magmortar or Gliscor, even though Magmar and Gligar are included, and the Sinnoh dex includes ALL evolutions of every Pokemon.

What I mean by potential, I like how they established that there actually is a Johto Dex (but it has way too many Kanto Pokemon), and I like how they actually made an effort to improve the levels in Kanto. It never made sense how all of the Kanto Gym Leaders in G/S/C were weaker than Lance (except Blue), but I'm glad they made them stronger than Lance this time.

Overall, I like Platinum better. Go ahead and flame me, HG/SS lovers.

gf was forced to do that. why? Because people would complain about "Not having the classic feel"

shengar May 27th, 2010 7:01 AM

Totally love it. The way they Integrated user interface with touch is very convenient and much more better than those in D/P/Pt. I really like gym leaders new design, they're look great compared to the original .

Toa Hyro May 27th, 2010 4:08 PM

I never got any of the Generation II games but one of my friends has it so I can compare games and sounds so its pretty good.

Eeohnex May 27th, 2010 4:21 PM

Haven't enjoyed a Pokémon game as much as this one, it's just way too epic. I love how you have your Pokémon walking next to you, brings back so many good times. Overall, it's the only reason why I got my Nintendo DS XL.

nm legend May 28th, 2010 7:42 AM

just bought it yesterday nd i think its pretty cool....the fact that it was a remake made me want to get it becuase i used to play pokemon wen i was lil jit....its funny cuz im like the only person playin it out of my "bout that life" friends

ltsang May 28th, 2010 8:09 AM

Its better than the diamond, pearl, and platinum. I loved it. I hate the new pokemon. The new pokemon has so many different kind of weakness.

jksa893 May 28th, 2010 10:54 PM

I bought as I saw a lot of English translaters trying to translate the text for HG/SS. So,I thought it would be good...

Rengoku May 29th, 2010 12:47 AM

I really love Pokemons walking behind me (I remembered I hate my Pikachu so much and traded him off to evolve xD).

&&, the best game I ever had - Remind me of my Crystal times!

Esmas May 29th, 2010 5:23 AM

I don't know how you found that it was no fun... I honestly dislike people who are too picky to like anything, especially a remake, to make better, of one of the greatest games of all time. The two games are great in most ways, and I see nothing that would even come close to "no fun." If you think there was no fun in it, then you might as well drop the series for yourself, because it will only get better.

Enigma May 29th, 2010 4:50 PM

I really love HG/SS. The only thing that bothers me is that I'm forced to train with wild pokemon, since there is no VS Seeker. The Voltorb Flip also made me a bit frustrated, but nonetheless, this game is spectacular.

Oblivion Wing May 29th, 2010 8:33 PM

I thought i was the only one asking for a remake, kind of like a dream that would never come true haha. Well i remember getting it, battling with my friends, and overplaying it so much, never got tired of it. Now I am 18 years old, i had Diamond, and whatnot when it came out, but was just digging it a bit, you know? It's good, but to a certain point. I had sold my DS over a year and 1/2 ago, focusing more on my personal life, music, and my high school now off to college.

I heard from my friend "Dude, did you hear about Heart Gold and Soul Silver?" I said "What are you talking about?" he said, "They are remaking soul silver, coming out next month :)" I jumped and i kissed my girlfriend (she's a pokemon fan as well :) ) and i (after school) went to get a job, waited till Soul Silver came out, and that day, me and my gf went to the store, and bought ourselves a copy of both. I obviously got Soul Silver, and i convinced her into getting Heart Gold.

I love that game, and so does she, we trade, battle and train, it's freaking awesome. There's no dissapointments about it, in fact, in my, and her opinion, they made it better than the original, with everything that they added. Game Freak has relived my childhood and there's not a day that passes by without me or her playing that game. :)

ltsang May 30th, 2010 11:25 AM

heheh I'm 25 years old. I just got the game a few days ago. I got my 7th badge and I'm training my pokemon to become stronger.
