Would you have preferred two Johto remakes as they are, or would you have liked to see one Crystal remake with all the features of both games?

This question was brought up to me over Google Talk, and I just wanted to know others' thoughts on the subject.

I would have preferred one Crystal remake, I loved my Suicune <3.

This game does have features from Crystal. The Eusine/Suicune quest is in this game.

Crystal was still different in many respects. Even though HG/SS contains many of the features (boy/girl option for example) they are still some things like the Poliwag on the route before Violet city, different eggs to receive instead of just Togepi, ect.

I do see your point though.

I would have preferred a Crystal remake as well. It would have been nice to have an actually updated version of the first Pokemon game I played! But HG/SS is nice too, so I'm not complaining... :)

You choose the Crystal remake option and yet you ask about that quest? =P

The Eusine-Suicune quest is a subplot that was added into Crystal and wasn't in GS, but is in HGSS as well. Personally I do feel that HGSS is actually more a Crystal remake than anything - besides having that that which is the biggest addition Crystal had by far, it has the extra radio show Crystal had, a Battle Tower (only in hgss it's the tower + rest of the frontier), the ExtremeSpeed Dratini and quiz for the 8th gym... the only things HGSS has that Crystal didn't was (bar differing obtainable Pokemon but they always differ and minor details like poliwag in an earlier pond by a very short walking distance when you can't even get the Old Rod doesn't cut it for me as a notable difference) is the Odd Egg, and some would say Krys too but hey there's a girl protagonist anyways and better not stir up that point anyways. -_- So it comes down to the Odd egg, which is a shame it isn't in IMO but a minor thing from Crystal that isn't in and shiny Pokemon are easier to get these days (plus you still get the Red Gyarados).

So I like things as they are now - I see no need for a Crystal-only version (I like being able to choose the Silver remake anyways, as Silver was my first game =P)

Crystal remake. Although I'm still apprehensive and think they might make one. Which is one of the reasons I'm not getting HG/SS. It'll be really irritating if they make a Crystal Remake for those who have HG/SS but I would love it. I haven't played but it sounds like the best one ever made. But since HG/SS have Kanto, I don;t see much possibility of it being made, but I would still like it to be made.

It's pretty much confirmed that there will not be a third version, as the fifth generation is right around the corner. :\

Well, if it would have everything HG/SS had and more, then that's why I'd pick Crystal. XD

But what is the subplot? What is it about?

I'm happy with HGSS, but I would definitely like to see a remake of Crystal. The only reason being as I never got to finish the original Crystal version...or any other II generation games. : \

I'm content with SS/HG but don't get me wrong I would have enjoyed a Crystal remake as well. But hey, at least theres a remake entirely of Silver and Gold and for that I am thankful.

Crystal, becuz we'd probably be able to get Rayquaza and both Latis without need of trading. Personally, I was hoping for a Crystal remake cuz then I could choose either Gold or Krys (Lyra's okay, but no one can replace Krys and her blue hair XD)

That, and the fact that FR/LG didn't have a ThunderYellow to go along with them.

I wouldn't have minded a Crystal remake instead of HG/SS, since I've never played the original Crystal. But since HG/SS have the main features of Crystal (Suicune and Eusine side-plot, the Battle Tower, boy/girl options) then there's no real point to it that I can see. Sure, the locations of the Pokemon would be different, and then there's the fact of the Odd Egg, but those are just smaller features of the game than the bigger ones that were included.

They still could have changed the female character for the remake if they wanted to.

But what is the subplot? What is it about?
In short, the Suicune subplot really introduces a second pseudo-rival, Eusine who is out to capture Suicune in the game. He adds a side story to your adventure from the original Gold and Silver in which involved a new escape with Suicune and you following it around Johto. Now, it was brought back to the GS remakes along with other features from Crystal. If I recall correctly, I believe the Suicune subplot also extends within Kanto, which was not done before in the original Crystal version.

A Crystal remake alone would have been a nice change. One game, and about forty dollars extra to save. XD; Either way, it was just about getting a remake of the second generation up to speed with the newer generations. Including a majority of the Crystal features (i.e. Extreme Speed Dratini, Radio Tower, Battle Tower+, Male and Female selection) other than the Odd Egg, I'm pretty much content with what's been brought out in HG/SS. Plus, it just gave me twice the fun like usual.

As mentioned, many of the things in Crystal has been put in HGSS... So I'd almost say it is a Crystal remake aswell.

I don't think the little details mentioned (like the Poliwags and stuff) are that important to me tho, and there are already SO MUCH epicness in this game, so I couldn't possible ask for more of them. I'm happy the way it is XP

Hmm....Odd Egg woulda been nice, but,tbh Shiny Tyrogue is the only one of those that looks any good anyway, and all it's evos (particularly Hitmontop, which is the best) look naff in shiny version.

Extremespeed Dratini is cool, as is Suicune.

But, Lugia's SoulSilver logo looks awesome, even if i don't like the pokemon itself.
