DPPt/HGSS the BAD things about HG/SS

Top 3 worst flaws in HeartGold/SoulSilver


#1 The Worst Item Ever: GB Sounds. The music in this game was pretty good, why should I hurt my experience by downgrading the music to crud screeches of horribly done music. The music is not even faithful to the tunes in GSC and sound extremely bad. This is the most detrimental item in a pokemon game ever. It's worse than Goldeen in Melee/Brawl, the spell AMUT, the feather from Milon's Secret Castle, and the cloak of Darkness from Wizards & Warriors.

You don't have to get it, the new music sucks, it plays the old G/S/C music which is better, much much better than the new crap.
 
Since I've now got every Pokemon it is possible to get in SoulSilver normally (excluding those in the Safari Zone and later Pokewalker routes) and I can't trade on the GTS because my DS won't connect, I have nothing to do other than wait for the blocks in the Safari Zone to upgrade and for me to get enough watts on the Pokewalker to unlock new routes. Obviously its no-ones fault but mine for finshing everything off before I got this stuff, but in the sense of the thread title, it is a bad thing (for me) about HGSS.

#3 Voltorb Flip sucks. You cannot buy coins and that game is a horrible Minesweeper clone that is terrible. You lose a couple of times in later levels, you start at Level 1 all over again. The worst part is that this was the result of the anti-gambling laws in EUROPE. Why do we Americans have to suffer for Europe's laws, it's not fair. Leave it in the European versions. Good thing I have DPPt and PBR for the TM's.

#2 They ****ed up the Vermillion/Cerulean Tunnel. This was the best place to hatch eggs. Just Hold Up/Down until you hear bumps as you hatch yours eggs. It was helpful in R/B/Y/G/S/C/FR/LG for breeding or raising levels. They ruined that by adding cones and some ***hole who wants a RageCandybar for a Explosion TM. Just ****ing great! Now where could I hatch my eggs now? Around Goldenrod where people would get in the way? ****

1. Voltorb flip is brilliant. I can play it for 2 hours straight. If you get the rules it makes perfect sense. Plus it's not Pokemon fans in Britain's fault that the laws are messed up. Plus this is WAY better than slots. Instead of just tapping A you actually have to think about your choices. If memory serves me correctly, this game was in the original too!

2. The eggs can be hatched in goldenrod, there is an up and down path that stretches from the daycare all the way to the route above goldenrod, and no people in the way, you just have to look for it and see how the people move. It's where I hatch my eggs. Plus if you have so much trouble get a Slugma or a Magcargo or any Pokemon with flame body/magma armor.

3. How can the music not be faithful, IT'S THE SAME MUSIC. And yes I too prefer the GB sounds to the newer versions. And besides this item is completely optional, it's almost hidden. And how is it horribly done? It is done to the best of he ability sticking to the bit total of the original games they just tried to emphasize "hey we still care about our old games".
I felt awesome when I found this item.

Anyway.

The main game is FAR too easy. Elite four using lv 40's? Did they lose experience from 3 years ago?
I beat them with 3 level 30's in my team and 3 level 40's.

I didn't realize there was no vs seeker when I bought this a few days ago. That sucks, I thought that the Pokegear would have that feature. My fault for not reading up on it I guess.

I seriously HATE some of the redone music. Not all of it though, and no NOT just because of "nostalgia value", I genuinely dislike the style of some of the music, mainly Goldenrod City, and the "rock" part in the National Park. Ugh, they grate on my nerves so much. I also LOVE chiptunes (even new ones) so I reeeeally want that GB player, how do you get it?

That's unfortunate that the Elite 4 are such low levels too :/

My only other problem is Drowzee and Hypno having Forewarn as a secondary ability, it sucks, and Insomnia is awesome. I had a horrible time getting the nature I wanted with Insomnia as the ability -.-

Btw, I LOOOOVE the Pokemon following you, it's one of my fav things about the game, I don't see why so many posters think it's so terrible, and it's not even detracting from the gameplay >>

No you're just a whiner. The HG/SS music revamped sucked. You don't even have to get the GB sounds. Put up or shut up would be a good piece of advice, anyways, /ends flame session
 
with the pokegear and without a vs seeker, and the low lvl trainers, and the highest lvl pokemon(in ss) are lvl 40 are all rock/ground type(and ursaring) makes a perfect storm of annoying conditions that make it hard 2 train low lvl pokemon that arent grass, water, or fighting to a high enough lvl, and it p**ses me off!!

some of the overworld/following you sprite SUCKED, ex: tyrannitar was a fail, and an even bigger fail was that crobat's wings moved backwards!

voltorb flip: i love the game, you have to use thought and strategy instead of luck(roulette sucked castform weather balls) but the only problem is that you cant buy coins

Excuse me?But I have been playing the original Silver and I agree I wish It was a remake not a new game.It seems to have too many new features.

I didn't notice this post before, but yeah, some of the sprites ARE horrible. Jolteon, Scyther, and Machoke look like they have Down's Syndrome, Gastly's forehead is too big, Muk looks like they just plain botched the sprite, and others are just horribly drawn in general.

Also can anyone tell me how to obtain the GB music player?
 
I was annoyed at the fact that my Pokémon were too underleveled for Red so I traded my TRU Arceus from Platinum to SoulSilver. Another thing that annoyed me, was of course, the Game Corner which is self explanatory.

Somebody is a insecure fanboy about his opinions. All I meant to say is that I was in the minority because where I come from the HGSS music is good. But you just had to be a whiny douchebag, state your opinions as fact, and insult me. I wish there was ignore feature so I don't have to see your backwards logic.

whats wrong with joltleon and machoke?
gastly looks fine and muk is just a purple blob, you cant really mess that up. crobat's wings move backwards and tyrannitard is an epic fail!
 
Well Muk's arm just looks seriously messed up and awkward lol. Jolteon's face is all squished and deformed, and Machoke looks ready for the special olympics.

2 people mentioned Tyranitar looking bad but I seriously don't see it, he always looked a little mentally challenged, the only difference in this sprite is his closed mouth LOL.

Not really. You just insulted something so insignificant, and I pointed that out. Then you said our logic was backwards, therefore basically insulting me. I then continued telling you to stop whining and to shut up. Last post on this thread. And reported.
 
Just because it is optional does not mean I cannot hate it. You do not have to use Sunflora, does not make it any less terrible.

EDIT: I just found a nice little feature in User CP. Now I can enhance my enjoyment in this forum. :)

tyrannitar is one of the best designed pokemon imo, and its overworld sprite looked like it was mentally retarted. i have a joltleon on both my hg and ss teams, and it looks fine 2 me. i used a machoke on hg b4 i traded it 4 another machoke, and it looked ok, what was wrong with it?
 
I'm getting sick of the revamped music...

I'm also not a fan of how they had such underleveled Pokemon for the seventh gym, and then OH, LOOK. Clair whips out her level 41 Kingdra and DOMINATES my Typholosion.
