For me, I didn't really enjoy HeartGold/SoulSilver that much, especially post game Kanto area. Many people like the revisiting Kanto feature, but it's from that point everything go downhill for me, there's literally close to no storyline at Kanto, just challenge the remaining 8 gyms, beat champion again, and the ultimate boss Red waiting for you in Mt. Silver, that's about it. I really didn't bother too much to explore the routes in Kanto, and especially battle the route Trainers. Maybe that's why GF hesitant to cramp two or more region in one game? GF main plot storyline is still something to be improved.
Side games I really enjoy Mystery Dungeons, their storyline is actually very good. Gates to Infinity was a flop, but Super Mystery Dungeon brings back their glory again. Tried Pokemon Rangers before, but it's a rather unique situation and didn't last long enough, but I do recall their storyline aren't too bad either, I can still remember Ukulele Pichu's song though. But one thing that I want to talk about is Pokemon Conquest. I find that on the first try, the game is so fun to play, but it quickly got stale after I replay it. The story is kinda 'meh', but their gameplay is actually fun. I doubt there's gonna be a sequel to this game anymore, but it makes me wonder if we'll get anymore new side games?
