4th Gen Does anyone miss the Sevii Islands in HG/SS?

They were, quite frankly, the most unappealing and uninteresting thing that has ever happened to any pokemon game ever.

But yeah, I don't miss them one bit.
 
I don't thnk it was necessary because all you had to do was find the ruby and sapphire stones to trade with hoenn. It woul'dnt make sense because we can migrate and use the global terminal.

They took them out? Thank God. They were stupid. Finding the Ruby and Sapphire so that you could trade with Ruby and Sapphire? Yeah, that's really creative.

That was so annoying it hurt. Seriously, it took me ages to find those stupid gems. Seriously, why did they have to include Braille and all these other annoying things?

The Sevii Islands themselves wouldn't exactly be a major inclusion into HG/SS, since they were only required for catching some Johto Pokemon and enabling trade with the other Generation III games.

They also provided an extension to FR/LG's main storyline, since there was only one short region to complete, and not much to do afterwards. In HG/SS, though, you have both Johto and Kanto to take your time with, therefore eliminating the need for any extension of the storyline. On top of that, all Johto Pokemon discoverable in the Sevii Islands are now found in Johto itself, so there's no need for the Pokemon either.

I have to admit that it's pretty easy to finish Kanto, but there are plenty of rematches to do, as well as plenty of legendaries to find and catch for yourself. There's plenty to do after the Elite Four, therefore, the Sevii Islands would be a waste of game space, and they are something we could do without.
 
The Sevi Ilands were boring and annoying to travel to. I didnt appreciate them then and I dont miss them now.
 
Don't miss them at all, considering the Sevii Islands were pretty much "LOOK AT THIS WE COULD DO JOHTO INSTEAD BUT WE CAN'T BE BOTHERED."

I mean, same music AND Pokémon? Come on.
 
The Sevii Islands pretty much set up the story for Johto, showing Team Rocket as being alive & well and still planning something, in this case, the Lake of Rage incident. As well as other references, like on pertaining to a certain Red Haired Kid.
 
My opinion? Who really cares? They already added stuff not to do just after beating the elite four but Red himself. If they've already added that much, why add more? The only thing the sevii islands were truly included for other than a plot extension and Johto pokemon was the fact that the event islands (birth islands and navel rock) were there, believe it or not. I mean, come on! They got a lot of stuff, such as...(spoiler tag. Don't click if you don't want to know.)
Spoiler:

If you can't be happy with everything in the spoiler, then you obviously don't know a good pokemon game.
 
WAIT HOLD ON!!!
THEY COULD'VE BEEN IN THE GAME!!

They were put in the games to give the player something to do after the elite four, but in HG/SS we have kanto. So they aren't really needed
 
Yeah, i think it woulda been brilliant if we had the Sevii Islands, but meh, people still get angry there's not 4 regions in a game, don't they???

I'm more interested in whether they fixed the wobbling screens whenever you get on your bike or run that you had in D/P/Pt
 
I do I do I do.

I enjoy islands in general. That's why I've always been hoping for a Orange League game, which most certainly will never be made.
 
Not at all. I'm glad they didn't add them in. I think it would take away from the orginality of the GBC games.
.....and they were disappointing, for reasons others have already covered, and from the spoilers I've read, there is more than enough to do after the game. <----And that makes it a lot better, I think. :3
 
If any event were to be held needing to go back to any island within the game, then it may most likely be Birth Island and/or Naval Rock. The only reason being is for a held Mew and/or Deoxys event. However, I find the need of a Celebi event more fitting towards the games. Though, I doubt Sevii Islands would make an appearance as a whole for much of an event.

Like said it wasn't a needed location for the game and what could have been done there, was easily implemented on the returning Kanto.
 
I was annoyed! I wanted a Larvitar when I got to the Kanto region so I don't have to wait all this time after beating the Elites the second time and the Sevii Islands weren't there.D:<
I hated that. They should have included them.n_n Oh well.D:
 
I would have liked them in. It's really weird they're not in. I know people say they were needed to fill up the dex in LG and FR but in the end they were islands that were part of LG and FR. HG and SS feel like sequals to RBY more so than LG and FR to me. Yet they showed these were sequals of LG and FR when they were promoting them.

They're only counted as sequels because they're remakes of Gold and Silver, which were sequels of Red and Blue(or Red and Green if you live in Japan), whose remakes were FR & LG. Therefore, the remakes are related in the same way the originals were. Plus, the Sevii Islands were and add on for completing the pokedex as well as something to do after the game was beaten. Plus, it was the only way to obtain johto pokemon that weren't already planned for emerald, meaning that since you can get said Johto pokemon, you don't need the sevii islands. That's not to say there aren't extra areas in Johto, though. For each of the remkae sets they include the things that were missing. Red and Blue/Green lacked somthing to do after you beat the Elite Four, and Gold and Silver lacked things such as the Safari Zone and Somthing to do after you Beat Red, which they included in each, meaning the sevii islands would simply take up space. Also, what would you do with the sevii elements that were implemented to add what was in the games after Red and Blue/Green, such as the Day Care on Four island, the Tanoby Ruins on Seven Island, or Trainer Tower(counterpart of Battle Tower), Also on Seven Island?

If I go on another rant, forgive me. I just have a lot to say.
