They revolutionized pokemon games. They were the first games to have really nice visuals, and probably my favourite to date. The colours were soft and pastel-y, very beautiful. Next up was the pokegear, though I forget what it was called in that one. It was fucking AMAZING. Not annoying like the phone before it and still better than the newer ones. The way it kept track of who wanted rematches was spectacular. Finally, the range in areas to visit was amazing. Yes there was a lot of terrible water travel, but between that there was a fucking volcano, an ash covered plain, a DESERT, and undersea ruins. The game was awesome.
But because of that you always had your team handicapped just because you needed specific pokemon to travel those areas. A HM slave with water moves, a pokemon with strength and so on. Not until you got to Elite 4 you could have the whole team you wanted. That was stupid. It took me more time than I would've liked to get a team that I was satisfied with.
I much more like FR/LG for that. The awesomeness of the first games, corrected glitches, and the art style you praise, which I also love. And a short but nice epilogue after beating the Elite 4. And GARY, GARY, GARY. After pouring more than 80+ hours on FR, I've yet to get a 80+ team that OHKOs all of his team, which isn't THAT strong anyway lol (I'd also like to add that I'm raising like 20 pokemons and I took the time to get right natures -which has to be the silliest thing I've did, since it doesn't matter anyway-).
But yes, G/S/C were the best games in the series. Even if I grew up on R/B/G, the amount of pokemons, the two maps, NEW TYPES, discovering what types the pokemons were, when I couldn't access the internet so simply to research it. New Eeveelutions, Ash raping your butt without saying a word, Gary having a great team and leading the Viridian City Gym, the train... everything was just a 3x-4x upgraded version of what they had previously released. It was really a lot, and on GBC!
I have the sudden urge to play Crystal right now.
