Sure seems like you were bothered by someone using that label lol

My only complaint with them is that they are fourth generation Pokémon games. A real Pokémon remake should be updated to the latter generation, just like Heart Gold, Soul Silver, Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby showed us... and in a flawless way.
Even then, HGSS are still flawed games - the level curve is trash for instance and they haven't really resolved the issue of not being enough Gen II Pokemon in Johto, although there was at least an attempt.I wouldn't exactly call ORAS "flawless" when it has basically no Emerald content. Really I don't think any of them are (they're all too conservative in their own ways), but the only one that's remotely close is HGSS.

i don't really get the criticism that gen 2 mons were hard to obtain in HGSS. sure, it was a problem in GSC, but by the time HGSS came out, these pokemon were no longer new. there wasn't much need to show them off.
there's always pokemon that aren't available until late-game (i consider Kanto late-game and not postgame; the game ends when you beat Red). again, these mons weren't new anymore and in most cases there's already been plenty of opportunities to use them on your team in older games.It's not just about showing off the new Pokemon but actually getting to use them on your team. If they're still made unavailable until Kanto you won't be able to make much use of them.
My issue with HGSS, which applies to every remake as well, is their unwillingness to expand the regional dexes (beyond the handful of cross gen evos added in HGSS and ORAS). The earlier dexes are all heavily flawed because of variety issues that existed at the time, primarily the lack of variety of rare types such as Ghost and Dragon. But while I can give the older games a pass because they didn't have much choice, the remakes DO have a choice and still choose to ignore it, leaving the remakes subjected to the same variety problems despite having sufficient options to fix it now. I'm sick of the nostalgia getting in the way of this, it breaks that feeling if you recycle the game's flaws along with its merits.

Yeah, that is my biggest problem. It's at its worst in FR/LG, where they won't even let you evolve a Pokemon who has a non-Gen 1 evolution until post-game, but HG/SS could have benefitted from letting you get cross-gen evos easier (no, I do not want to trade over a stone just so I can evolve my Togetic).
Good point there.Again, it goes beyond cross gen evos, they only get you so far in fixing the problem. What can they really do about some of the gym leader/Elite 4 rosters like Morty, Clair, and Lance when there's only 2 freaking Ghost and Dragon families in the original 251? What about the players that want to monotype Ghost or Dragon but oops, you just get the 2 families until you beat the game? Even cross gen evos can't make up the difference there. They need to throw in some new families from 3rd gen or later to give the game sufficient variety.
well, for Morty, they can give him a fucking misdreavusAgain, it goes beyond cross gen evos, they only get you so far in fixing the problem.

Yeah. I mean, I don't "hate" BDSP, I just find this remake to be a missed chance. For all its flaws, FRLG, HGSS and ORAS at least expanded on the original games. Whereas BDSP is just a graphical uplift and not much else.I bought Pokémon Brilliant Diamond a few days ago and, yes, I can understand the criticisms about it. So far it isn't adding anything new to the original fourth generation games.
HG/SS and AS/OR are more polished and refined compared to this one.
I truly hope they don't remake Gen 1 again. It's already been remade to death as it is. I've played through Kanto 5 times already, I don't want to play through it again.Generation 4 isn't Generation 1, that will always be primed for more remakes
KANTOOOOOOOOOI truly hope they don't remake Gen 1 again. It's already been remade to death as it is. I've played through Kanto 5 times already, I don't want to play through it again.
It was during the original games that Pokemania happened, and Gamefreak has been desperately trying to bring back that craze ever since.You damn well know they will because, just like with any long-running media franchise, they always go back to the original incarnation for that serious nostalgia money.
