What if HG/SS sucks?

[Rayquarian]

Really, you're worrying about nothing.

So you're pokémon follows you around.  So what?  It doesn't affect the core gameplay.
So Kris "replaced" a character who was never in the game.  So what?  It doesn't affect the core gameplay.
And all those other little things don't get in the way of what's important.  To me, Game Freak knows that the core gameplay is what matters, and there isn't a lot they could do to that to screw it up in the first place, since these games are only remakes.

It seems to me you're looking for some reason for this game to be bad, just because it seems everyone does that with Nintendo games nowadays.

It's a bit late for this question, unless you consider the overwhelming positive responses the Japanese gave HGSS null and voided.

Back then, Pokemon anime was actually good; it blows the hell out of whatever's playing nowadays. I can agree on the Kris point, although I usually play as Gold.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the gimmicks you reference, like the Pokemon following you around, are experimentations with the limits of the DS' capabilities. It wouldn't be interesting or pioneering to limit the HGSS remakes to DPPt standards, so they have to introduce things here and there to make it much more vibrant.

i just want it for the nostalgia

They're remakes of Gold and Silver. Something major is going to have to happen before HG/SS sucks.

^^^^^^
This, I mean unless they make it so you play as pokemon & train people, not much can go wrong.

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

[Thirdkoopa]

the only way this would suck is if you had to pay an extra 5$ to get a thing that you can strap to yourself to level up your pokemon

...Oh wait

...
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

THAT JUST WON IDEA OF THE YEAR.
