I know there's already a complaints thread, but this isn't exactly that. I've noticed that a lot of people who were wanting a GSC remake are bashing HGSS now. Imo, it's great. So, for supporters of HGSS before and after partial/full playing(I'm still partial xD), what were your disappointments?

The only real gripe that I can think of off the top of my head is the Ecruteak music. =/. Awful. Ruined my favorite Johto theme from the original. The rest of the music is great to me, though. =D.

Discuss.

Yeah except it is, you are complaining and asking others to post their complaints.

No, I'm highlighting certain things that disappointed me, not complaining. There's a difference, believe it or not.

ASDF. Oh well. I tried.

actually, they are exactly the same unless you dive into it philsophically, which isn't necessary

I get where they were going with the theme, but it's doesn't really fit. Piano would sound a lot better imo. But I give them credit for trying something new.

Yes, it's just my personal opinion. I get how it's traditional. Just not my cup of tea, I guess.

Edit: For example, it just doesn't flow as well in the new theme. Having the instruments they used doesn't make it sound nice and melodic and pleasing to the ear. I can't put it into words otherwise, basically.

that's exactly what i was gonna say- cianwood is like a toned down ecruteak, and it holds the same tune as the old Ecruteak :)

You say this isn't another complaints thread ... but that is what it is going to turn into.

Although the music is possibly the worst part of HG/SS, there are only a select few route/town/battle musics that sound good. Like Eckruteak I don't even know what that is ... Lugia and Ho-Oh themes I can't even understand what that SOUNDS LIKE, it has no Pokemon feel and I just don't get ... the point ... of their ... battle music .. and ugh the Rival encounter theme hurts my stomach ...

Whatever enough ranting, this is going to become a complaints thread (damn I just made it one by adding my complaints in =\)

Then don't make it one. Easier said then done, but eh.

Yeah, I get exactly what you mean. I just mean the original melody of the song, the instrument change takes some getting used to I guess. I'd rather have some kind of instrument, basically. But like I said before, I get where they were going making the theme that way.

I've heard many redone themes with piano, been there done that. and I prefer it over the official revamp.

Yeah, exactly. I'm not big on nostalgia, which is why I like HGSS, it feels like a fresh game, yet it isn't, and there's still some nostalgia involved. I get how I can hear the 8-bit theme if I'd like, I'm just saying that I was disappointed in the default.

Maybe, but they would have put Kris back in if they totally listened to complaints, too.

Enough of my one opinion, what about the rest of you guys and gals'? xD.

My only complaint is that there is no built-in time warping device that could be used to make the localization team move faster. I guess they're taking their time for a good reason though. The longer they wait, the more bugs can be exploited and therefore discovered/stabilized for the international releases.

no complainy- opinions, not complaining- my OPINION is that this game is great- the only thing that actually bugs me is that every time you use an HM, you have to go through the Pokemon showing up on the screen out of the pokeball thing (sorry, not that clear- you know what i'm talking about, right?)

Yeah, I get exactly what you mean. "Easier use of HMs" is what we heard before leak/release? My you-know-what.

At first I was disappointed by the Dark Cave remix, but when I heard it while traveling through Ice Cave, it sounded very fitting. That's the only complaint I can think of right now. This game has so far fit my expectations nicely.

Even though I have complaints the games are still the best ever. There is always gonna be something we are not happy with so it doesnt change my opinion on Nintendo/Gamefreak. We are never fully happy with things anyway.

=/

Even if this is not apparently a complaints thread.. it kinda is. Complaining =/= bashing, and expressing 'I didn't like this/I was disappointed with this' is pretty darn similar to complaining, if not just a milder form of it. You can still say, for instance:
Quote:
The only real gripe that I can think of off the top of my head is the Ecruteak music. =/. Awful. Ruined my favorite Johto theme from the original. The rest of the music is great to me, though. =D.

in the Complaints thread - they all can really be classified as complaints (Just not the annoying 'omg these games suck 'cause of this' or immature ones).

Even if not, this is just too similar to that thread - similar topics, and IMHO this is just a Complaints thread, just started in a different manner and with less yelling thus far... but there's no need for two of the same/similar thing.
