honestly the use of the Mis were probably one of the best parts of this game and the only thing I really remember. it really kinda sucked how this game (and later the series) devolved into microtransaction garbage
this was the second Pokemon game I recieved after my bootleg copy of Emerald, and the first one I completed. if someone brand new to Pokemon asked me which Pokemon game they should start with it'd probably be this one - Kanto and its creatures are familiar to plenty of people, and manages to update Red and Blue in a more refined way without introducing the bullshit they introduced in Let's Go. if it contained the Physical/Special split I'd argue this would be THE game pair to start off a total newbie with. I know that the game being a little too loyal to Red and Blue is a common complaint with this pair, but HeartGold and SoulSilver are sometimes worse on that front regarding the flaws of the original so idk
also the Gen 2 music remixes in this game are better than the entirety of HeartGold and SoulSilver's remix OST

copying this from my review of LeafGreen since they're the same game

maybe I'm biased since I'm a longtime Tamagotchi fan and I remember how beefy the later Tamagotchi Connection toys were but. this sure is a mobile game
2016
admittedly, I still haven't gotten around to playing the 1.4 content yet. I kinda burned myself into a ditch hardcore when I played this game and absolutely nothing else for the summer of 2016 to the point where at one point my hours in one summer for Stardew surpassed 4 years of playing Terraria
but god, once this game hooks you it's very hard to quit playing

a great series when it came out but I could never recommend this over its later entries because of how incredibly frustrating it was to actually capture Pokemon in Ranger
easily the best Pokemon Ranger because of how many improvements they've made compared to the original. I love how you can have different companion Pokemon
bonus half star for having Gallade as a boss you "fight" twice, that's always cool

not as good as the Shadows of Almia by any means but this game had a soaring function before Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and this game made me want it as a feature SO bad after this game introduced the concept. anyways I didn't have the right internet to connect my DS to the internet so I never got to see the special episodes and that kinda sucked
2012
cute, short, and sweet RPG Maker game where you talk to various animals as you try to find your friend after a storm in a quite charming Game Boy-esque style
2018
honestly not much I can say here that others haven't already said. stop reading this and go play it, Chapter 1 is literally free
it's a cute game and all and I do agree this is better than New Horizons in a lot of respects, but not having much control about villagers means that I can't return to this game very well. which is kind of a shame, because I really like the little hub town quite a bit and going to Club LOL

admittedly I am very enamored whenever Mario isn't afraid to get weird (see my review of Super Paper Mario, another very weird Mario game) and I played the hell out of this on my 3DS during the initial software drought. the physics are a little wonky but there's little weird pieces of charm I haven't seen anywhere else in a Mario game. I can't say I want all of it back, but it'd be at least nice to see a Sarasaland enemy again at some point
on a charm level I don't remember it as much as the first, but it controls a lot better than the first game with some catchy tunes and nice platforming
making little creations in this game was pretty fun. I don't think I'd go back to it after completing it but it was pretty neat
unironically the only game I've ever thought about trying to sell back to GameStop. I really don't have anything positive to say about this game beyond anything I could talk about in literally any other game in this series
