quality is poor (thanks Nintendo) but that doesn't mean it accounts for nothing
consider the Underground, a feature now rendered obsolete because it was local communication only
this is pretty much the correct take
HGSS aren't marked improvements in terms of quality from GS, only newer graphics and extra content
I'd not play either myself when better games exist, like Crystal or any gen 3 game
I think online capabilities account for a lot these days and if someone is...
Zoomer take tbh
You're right that the game doesn't matter tho they're all mostly the same. SS online is a heck of a lot more active and adds a lot to the games tho which is why I suggested it
just get Sword or Shield if you've never played Pokemon tbh
the DS games are tragically overpriced and the GBC games are horribly outdated
what's the best pokemon game? Emerald, probably. Some yung'uns might say Platinum because of the physical/special split but back in the day it was so much...
