What is better? Pokemon Crystal or HG/SS?

Which do you prefer?
Which would you recommend?
>>
>>>/vp/
>>
>>12248347
I prefer gsc simply because I fucking hate the gen 4 engine
>>
>>12248347
I prefer hgss simply because I fucking hate the gen 2 engine
>>
>>12248347
I recommend just playing gen1 for retro scifi creepy Pokemon and playing Gen 3 for nu mystical shonen Pokemon. Gen 2 is just middle of the road and feels shitty

Damnation straight boy

off topic

Fuck off.
>>>/vp/
>>
>>12248429
>the mere mention of johto is considered to be inciting a genwar
damn you must be REALLY insecure about how hard it mogs (You)r favorite then
>>
>>12248470
Gen1 always gonna be the best
>>
>>12248478
gen 1 is pretty cool
i prefer gen 2
>>
>>go back to vp

Fuck off they have an unironical johtod mod who bans any criticism towards 2&5 so this is the only place we can discuss gen2 without any cucks shutting their diapers
Fuck off
>>
>>12248347
Crystal if isn't cutted with shit like baby powder is the best
>>
>>12248667
What is there to discuss? The original release is generally agreed to be the worst Pokemon game that fits into the retro definition this board uses, and HG/SS is not retro under this boards rules. There's a certain kind of millennial that has extreme nostalgia for it, but it's the worst kind of nostalgia goggles, and even most millennial Pokemon fans skipped Gen 2.

my thoughts exactly

pokemon will always be discussed here and theres nothing you can to do change it lol

Gold

The only thing I like about HGSS is how they restored parts of Kanto that were missing in the Gen 2 postgame and added some extra battles that were a bit more challenging. Stuff like the Pokewalker and following sprites are cute as well but don't make or break it for me. Other than that its the original all day every day for me: Less interruptions for the gay story that nobody gives a fuck about, game overall just feels faster and better paced, better art direction and animated battle sprites, better music, and its simply more soulful. Can't forget about Pokemon Stadium 2 compatibility either and, if you're a real freak willing to get into the weeds, the Mobile System GB. Oh yeah, and the Pokemon Pikachu 2 too.

Actually on that note, I wonder if it'd be possible for someone to do a romhack for Gen 2 that added Pokewalker compatibility. It communicates through IR just like the Pokemon Pikachu 2 does, at least as far as I know, and I believe the program on the Pokewalker itself is even rewritable. That would be bad ass.

>>12248347
Only one of those options fits this board's rules, so you're playing Pokemon Crystal, OP. It's a nice tweak to G/S, but doesn't change too much beyond Suicune being easier to catch and the Pokemon all having battle intro animations.

I don't think you people realize that /vp/ hardly allows for discussion of the actual games, especially the "retro" ones. It's mostly a board for pedophiles to post hentai of all the 12 year old little girls and argue which one they want to jerk of to more. That and furries. Actual game discussion does not happen there. I for one welcome it here.
>>
>>12248347
>HG/SS?
Not retro

>>12248819
I've never understood why they even released Crystal outside of Japan. The main reason it even exists was to add online functionality via a cellphone adapter that didn't release outside of Japan. Even weirder is they didn't bother to include any of the stuff that was exclusively distributed by it in our version as offline content to make it more of a compelling purchase. They clearly thought about it, the egg that the day care man gives you for free was something you had to download from the internet in Japan, but they decided not to give us the Celebi event or a way to get any of the download exclusive items and none of the downloadable minigames. I genuinely don't understand why they wouldn't do this.
>>
>>12248838
Maybe they were saving Celebi for a shitty event, god I fucking hate the gen 3 event bullshit, it's on the cartridge already

Yeah maybe, a lot of people will tell you that Celebi was never distributed outside of Japan but that's not true. They just did it like Mew where it got traded to you with no fanfare. The entire bit with the GS Ball and going back to the forest to get it was Japanese Crystal exclusive though.
>>
>>12248823
I don't give a shit, take your pedophile topic back to your pedophile board.
>>
>>12248842
mew was any toys r us
celebi was at specific six flags you probably had to fly to and buy a theme park ticket for
even if you were aware of them gen 2 celebi doesn't exist for 99.9% of american kids
>>
>>12249649
Did no one have gamesharks for GBA?
Everyone cheated in Mews in Red and Blue.
>>
>>12249653
obviously we could gameshark it
that anon was pretending like a legit gs celebi was handed out like candy

I prefer Silver over Crystal and Gold. Crystal has a dumb shoehorned story with Suicune and uses the inferior Gold sprites as the base for its animated sprites. Silver sprites are mostly better than Gold with few exceptions. HG/SS is fine but Lyra fucking sucks and the "You're the chosen one!" story beats also suck.
>>12249536
Never change, /vp/schizo, never change.
>>
>>12248823
They do, but any retro (mostly gen 2) discussion turns into schizos throwing shit at each other.
>>>/vp/58736009
If you took part in this, no we don't want you here either.

>>
>>12249692
>I prefer Silver over Crystal and Gold. Crystal has a dumb shoehorned story with Suicune
Agreed 100%
I feel the same way about Emerald as well actually
>>
>>12248347
Polished Crystal > HGSS > GSC

>its yawnfag
>its cant beat the game schizo
>its that one youtuber
>its discord
>now it's "kwabposter"
johtots literally need to invent new schizos to cope with criticism kwab
>>
Is there a hack that takes all the 3rd gen+ pokemans out of hgss and makes all pokemans acquirable without trading?
>>
>>12253932
No because it sounds fucking stupid.
>>
>>12253932
Lol, being stuck with the dogshit Johto dex is one of the worst things about HGSS

hey, anti pokemon thread schizo, yeah you. i'm calling on you right now, annoying fag that you are, to fight with the man in this picture. he's a man i've been hunting for many years, but from the place i'm standing, i've finally found him. if you kill him, that is to say force him off this website with your powers of autism, then i'll pay you $10 thousand dollars. or at the very least i'll get you enough for a blowjob or something.
>>
>>12254320
enough of your life revolves around pokemon that you've dedicated years of your life to cataloging any and all criticism online under a list of imaginary opponents you've invented for yourself
