Gen 4 was the only generation where the general consensus is that the remake games (HGSS) were better on all aspects than the actually mainline new entry games (DPPt)Was that because HGSS were so good, or DPPt being simply experimental and unfinished?
>>59261996I feel like gen 4 got cucked by nostalgiafaggots.>KANTOOOOOOOOO random encounters>KANTOOOOOOOOO cross gen evolutions>KANTOOOOOOOOO fire types>KANTOOOOOOOOO roadblocks>KANTOOOOOOOOO professor>No Sinnoh cross gen evos and Arceus wasn't even released>NO native pseudo legendaries>KANTOOOOOOOOO pseudo legendaries>Second half of the gen completely cucked by vastly superior Johto remakes with more features, content and marketing.
>>59261996Parroting is an admission of defeat yawnie. >>59261541
>>59261996>Was that because HGSS were so goodYes.Platinum was great too, but HGSS is objectively the best Pokemon game and it's not even remotely close.
>>59261996HGSS are not widely regarded as better than Platinum.
>>59262028among everyone with even remotely decent taste they are
>>59262001gen 4 sucked cause half the new pokemon were trade exclusive when outside of major cities and japan, you werent finding ANYONE to trade with like you can these days now that pokemon is more mainstream.
>>59262034>halfWrong
>>59262034not a problem if you have friends
>>59262009Is it really an admission of defeat if this thread is more accurate?>>59262028retard
>>59262040exceedingly common johtochad victory
>>59261996DPPt was unpolished and rushed as fuck.
>>59261996Platinum >= HGSSalso HGSS is just Platinum, but set in Johtoeven copied its BF
>>59262079>also HGSS is just Platinum, but set in Johtoand with better performanceand with more contentand with better graphics and with better QoL
>>59262028It's mixed. Most people do agree it's better than base gen 4 though.
>>59262079>also HGSS is just Platinum, but set in a region that's actually goodnot the own you think it is
>>59262040>M*tacriticOH NONONO
>>59262079>even copied its BFand improved it. in very minor ways, yes, but HGSS is the definitive way to play the gen 4 battle frontier.
>>59262086>being wrong 4 times
There isnt any real major differences between Platinum and HGSSits basically ~same (good) game, just Sinnoh vs Johto (+castrated Kanto)Thats also why both of them are always in the top 3 of pokemon gameswith the 3-rd one usually being Emerald, but sometimes BW2
>>59262126>(+castrated Kanto)HGSS gave Kanto its nuts back.
>>59262126>There isnt any real major differences between Platinum and HGSSYes and Platinum came firstHGSS wouldnt exist without Platinum
>>59262036>>59262035you are bots with zero reading comprehension.
>>59262135They began development simultaneously. This is like, super well documented.
HGSS was made by Morimoto, so it's automatically kino.
>>59262154Morimoto's Johto is the GOATo.You know it to be true.Even Zack and Cody agree.
>>59262064>if the system powers off during this, your save is unreadably corruptedlmao
>>59262126platinum UI is dog shit compared to HGSS
>>59262184Nah
>>59262146I read what you said. You’re just wrong and friendless lol.
Fighting over which is better between Play and HGSS is so silly to me, they're both amazing games and basically the peak of the series
>>59262200HGSS > Emerald > Platinum, but yes. These three games are the apex.
>>59262200No because the game actually peaked back in Emerald and the whole GBA era. Sales proves it
>>59261996
>>59261996>>59262217
>>59262217>>59262218no one cares what redditors and youtube zoomers think lol
hoenncuck melty
>>59262233>"general consensus">two different platforms definitively contradicting that assertion>"d-d-doesn't count...!"here's a third
Platinum is built on Gen 4, so they are not so different in quality.
>>59262248>reddit againreminder: >>59262032
>>59262261They really, really are. I mean platinum is still like a 7/10, but Diamond and Pearl are like a 5.
>>59262028>GSS are not widely regarded as better than Platinumlol
>>59262295this kills the hoennbaby, the sinnohfetus, the unovabortion, and so on and so forth
reskinned Platinum in Johto is not better than actual Platinumthey're about the same
>>59262313>reskinned Platinum in [good region] is not better than actual Platinum in [shit region]
>>59262318This + truke + based
>>59262318hey cmon now sinnoh is pretty alright.johto and kanto are better though, even on their own
>>59261996So how long until one of you autists makes the same thread for gen 6 and ORAS, gen 7 and LGPE, and gen 8 and BDSP?
>>59262349the difference is that this one is actually correct
>>59262323Oh boy I can't wait to go through this one cave... again!!
>>59262318Sinnoh > Johto >>> kanto
>>59262323>kanto>betterLMAO
>>59262367Yes.Johto and Kanto are the two "classic" regions; they're very grounded in reality compared to rarer gens, and as a result feel very homely.In my humble opinion, Kanto is second only to Johto.
>>59261996>>59262001parroting is an admission of defeat
>>59262377kanto is shit and BY FAR the worst of the 4 Japan regions
>>59262399all the japan regions are kino and region design went downhill when they left japan.game freak should stick to making regions based on their home country, it's the only one they've been able to do justice
>>59262390>>59262040
>>59262034You got on a Pokemon fansite or Gamefaqs and added other people's Friend Codes, moron
>>59262504What if they refuse to trade it back?
>>59262028They kind of are. HGSS is the closest thing to the definitive Pokémon experience (albeit with flaws), though that doesn't make Platinum a worse game. The same can't be said for ORAS and X/Y, and that's where the parroting fails.
>>59262799>though that doesn't make Platinum a worse gameYes it does.
>>59262803No it doesn't. Platinum walked so HGSS could run
>>59262809So you agree Platinum is a worse game and HGSS is an improvement over it. Got it.
>>59262819I'm saying both ended up better than Gen 6 because of it.
>>59262830You’re saying Platinum is a worse game.
>>59262833Whatever you say
>>59262841You said it, not me.
>>59261996Only retards think this BS is true.HGSS is the worst selling remake of them all for a reason.
>>59262349The gen 6 thread was done first >>59261541
>>59262434if it was more accurate you wouldn't need to say it with parroting, as it would have been said first
FLOPgold soulLESS silver sold 5 million less copies than platinum, much less than the difference between ORAS and XY. Sad!
>>59263003Whoops I meant to say DP not platinum but whatever
>>59263003>RS second worst selling of a main entry>Emerald worst selling among the Deluxe versions>But ORAS are the best selling remakes of allWhat a oddity. Seems to prove gen 3 was midly enjoyed during its age, became more more iconic and fondly remembered as the time went up
>>59263052it shows GSC killed Pokemania and drove away most of the fanbasehad RSE been even a mediocre entry it would have killed the series then and there
>>59261996>consensusfake and gay
>>59262001U fucking stole my fucking post you dumb fucking faggot!Fuck you!!!OG post here: >>59261622
>>59261996Definitely not, I'd replay Platinum any day over HG/SS. The dex is much better, TMs are much faster to farm, the good move tutors are actually usable before the postgame and use a much less costly currency than BP, VS Seeker is infinitely better than the stupid phone call shit in Johto. Both still mog the fuck out of XY thougheverbeit.>>59262064I'll take that over dealing with the laggy as fuck touchscreen controls they replaced the PC with in HGSS, what a downgrade.
