@@JacobCruise everything you said is absolutely true, the atmosphere is incredible and the love and care that was put into HGSS really shows but the leveling is so bad that it sucks cause that’s really my only flaw in this game
9:16 One great thing about the Kanto region in HG/SS, though: you can catch the Kanto legendaries! I remember being so disappointed as a kid playing the original Pokemon Silver and reaching Cerulean City only to find out... Cerulean Cave doesn't exist anymore. So no way to get Mewtwo...
Great video! I picked up my half finished COVID era save file again. I’ve also been wearing my Pokéwalker everyday recently after I fixed it up with new batteries
Heart Gold & Soul Silver are the best remakes. I usually just enjoy roaming around Johto and doing the extra content. I have completed the Johto games multiple times. With the Pokémon availability and level curve fixes, Crystal Legacy makes Crystal genuinely a top 3 contender for best game. Overall though. I find Platinum the best game if you have the fast-forward feature of the emulators. Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen are still the best games for any beginners. Simple and infinite replayability.
Im playing it right now and i dont really like it. Im on like the 5th gym and it feels like leveling is really slow and its a lot less guided than other games like black and platinum. No idea why i dont rly enjoy it. I also spent a lot of time leveling my croconaw now hes much higher than the others and sweeps everything, also other pokemon dont seem that good and feel weak.
6:29 Doesn't Elm call you after you beat the Gym? Or am I confusing this with a call after the 8th badge? 'Cause in the latter's case he gives you a Master Ball.
@@JacobCruise pls tell me this game is easier than black 2 I just finished it yesterday and holy sht Dark souls was easier than this game At the end game I was either 1 SHOOTING my enemies or getting one shooted
I also had this game at number 1 for the longest time but after critically reviewing it myself I dropped it to number 3 behind Platinum and B2/W2
@@CeoOfBettt yeahhh

I've been there since gen 1
Played every game
Heart Gold / Soul Silver is definitely my number 1
The low level wild pokemon can be a problem when grinding, although still my favorite.
Ayy I'm here for more nostalgia, thanks my brother - awesome to see more old Pokémon games being talked about. 🥳
I think heartgold soulsilver is one of my fav pokemon games. Great video btw
Yes it was peak, next question..
I never understand why people have trouble with Whitney she easy asf
It’s a very good game but it’s so high up there mostly due to nostalgia

@@GramKraken thanks !
Top 5 game in the franchise fs but I got platinum emerald b2w2 and legends arceus over it
9:30 there's loads of new stuff in the aftergame, such as getting the gen 3 legendary pokemon
I’m about to play HeartGold and SoulSilver again and also Platinum. I think those are the best ones bedside BW/BW2

U get the master ball from elm yeah. I think I just forgot to say that since it wasn’t that important to me
Good video bro
@@samnelson3852 thanks bro
Yes, next question
After playing most of the pkm games hgss is for me number 1 but im starting soon with bw so it might change
I started this game today
Which Pokémon are the best ?
Can not trade

@@JacobCruise
I choose the fire one as my starter and just captured a geodude and mareep
Just got past the 1 gym

@@guilhermecunha2969 it’s lowkey hard but only if you don’t grind. HeartGold has terrible leveling
@@JacobCruise BLACK 2 was already Grindy as hell
Lemme guess - it’s not (I know it’s not as good as anyone remembers)
hi algorithm
ya
I think hgss is a good game 😊
@@EbubechukwuChukwuma-oy7cr it is!
It’s my least favorite pokemon game of all time I hate johto in general so it’s not entirely the games fault
I’ve thought it has been overrated forever. Johto is a bad region, the level curve is brutal
