| Chazore said: This is more or less what I was wanting to say, I know the later additions improve upon the originals gameplay but I really just loved the older ones for their story and of course their mechanics and pokemon within each version, Silver holds a special place in my ehart for being my fave pokemon game to date (with Y being behind it of course). The one issue I have with Nintendo on this is that they still haven't for some reason slapped all the older pokemon games onto the digital store which really just leaves us entirely at the mercy of scalpers or folk who really rhink their used copy is worth hundreds of pounds/dollars, I just want to be able to download the game when I want and play it then and there than chance buying a used copy for a load of money with the fact it's not brand new and the possability of it being broken or non existing as a result. |
Even with that I, for example, think that HGSS improved on literally every aspect of the originals. I think that there is not one thing in GSC that isn't worse than what is in HGSS. I'm still annoyed they aren't on VC, though. They are still fantastic, and they are a peice of history for the franchise. One cannot appreciate how far the series has come without seeing where it came from.
I think the issue lies more with TPC than Nintendo itself. They're very weird about that. I think it's because trading is not possible with the way the VC works. I have hope that they may, instead, release remasters of those games with the steps necessary to allow trading. I don't personally care about the trading, but I think they do, and I think that's what's holding them back. Remasters would allow them to get around that while even letting them sell them for more inflated prices.
I'm not even ashamed. I'd pay $15-$20 for a simple remaster of RBY, even without the ability to trade. They could even sell them in packs by generation.
