You need to remember that they try to stick as closed to GSC just because it's a REMAKE, not a totally new story plot.

Story plots aren't that crazy and whatever compared to the present (Hoenn, Sinnoh).

I actually loved HG, although im yet to play platinum, I think they did a perfect job on recreating the classic g/s/c games.

I found that HG/SS was a lot better, first of all, because It's Johto ... one of the best regions IMO.

But once Black and White were released with pictures and features ... I kinda lost interest in HG/SS.

HG/SS was the best game I have played since G/S/C. Platinum however was pretty decent, diamond and pearl were to slow.

they all lose alot of their fun when you beat the E4, but in HGSS, the fun keeps on goin' for just a while longer than platinum.

I loved Platinum and HG/SS. :D There IS more to do after you beat the E4 in HG/SS, though, which is good for me. =3=;
So, no, I don't think they were much of a let down. I like the features they added :)

I found HG/SS way more entertaining than D/P/P. Since my first Pokémon game was Crystal, it brought me nostalgia. Also, the "follow me" feature that was introduced in HG/SS gave another feeling to the game. Which made it different from just a remake and from the previous games. And of course, it has my favorite region; Johto. To me, HG/SS wasn't a let down, it just blew my mind.

Platinum had the better playthrough in my opinion. But when you beat platinum theres is far less to do then in HG/SS.

I think that Graphic-wise, HGSS is better than Platinum. Platinum had a huge variety of trees and mountains, but let's not forget for instance HGSS' splendid work on caves, and water, I can go on and on and on.

I personally think HGSS is better.
But we all have different opinions, right? :P

But to answer the question properly, no, I don't think the games were a let down.

HG/SS were made just like a remake was supposed to be made. I wouldn't expect anymore out of Nintendo then what they did with HG/SS. Personally my favorite Pokemon game was Emerald Version and I can't wait for its remake. :)

Its just a game to keep the population interested in pokemon. By remaking the games for the Johto people out there. Not to mention,Its there to get you hyped for the 5th gen and maddness.:bandit:
Besides Platinum is a main game.Like Diamond+Pearl=Platinum thats kinda how it works.
Also Emerald doesn't get a remake only Ruby and Sapphire.

I think the developers did a good job at designing the towns and routes. Personally, I think the Gen II games were the ones most in need of a remake. I don't think these games are letdowns at all.

I think HG/SS are the best games so far, but then, credit must be given to GS as they were the original.

HGSS was made perfectly. I don't see how it is worse than Platinum. Especially the Arceus event. I am very happy with the developers' work, we're just missing GB Glasses. Heh.

No, it wasn't a let down. It exceeded my expectations, actually.

Yes, it was definitely a let down. I remember when I was playing through Platinum, it had this strange epic feel to it. I was disappointed that HeartGold lacked that. And the levels are way too low in HeartGold, because they were too lazy to fix the problem where you could battle the 5th, 6th, and 7th Gym Leader in almost any order you want. And the Johto dex is extremely messy and horribly laid out, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY KANTO POKEMON. And the level progression is terrible. First of all, Whitney is only 2 levels higher than Bugsy, Chuck, Jasmine, and Pryce all have basically the same levels, meaning no level progression at all, ROUTE 43 HAS POKEMON AT LV15, ARE YOU SERIOUS, in the E4 rematch teams, Lance's Pokemon are +12 levels higher than Karen's, and Koga, Bruno and Karen have no level progression at all (they all top out at Lv64, while Lance jumps to a whopping Lv75)... THERE'S NO VS. SEEKER, AND THE PHONE REMATCH SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE

Overall, I think HG/SS is a mess. Platinum is not.
