Few people know this, but for two years the News Machine would be updated every month not only with player rankings, but also with with a news feed that included a mini-game and/or quiz. Aside from Crystal's high-quality animations, HGSS failed to include another feature: The Pokémon Communication Center's News Machine. As a matter of fact, there is a sole reference to the Burned Tower story in HGSS (by an insignificant NPC), and since it doesn't even mention the legendary beasts explicitly, many HGSS players may not even know that the beasts are connected to Ho-Oh. Those characters didn't return in HGSS and the Suicune sidequest was completely isolated from the climax with Ho-Oh/Lugia, and even the Kimono Girls were fairly luckluster in comparison because their motivation to summon Ho-Oh/Lugia was never explained. For this reason, Crystal also introduced three sages called the Wise Trio, who unlike Eusine could provide exposition on Ecruteak's legends, giving the events some much-needed depth. In Crystal, the sidequest had a climax that wasn't just about catching Suicune: It was about unraveling the story of Ecruteak and understanding why Ho-Oh left the town 150 years ago and why it was important that it would return, which it did after the player proved themselves through their encounters with the legendary beasts. Contrary to popular belief (because most people nowadays haven't played Crystal in years if at all), there was more to Crystal's Suicune sidequest than all the moving around with Eusine that was kept in HGSS. My point is that since some Yellow elements were included in the two remakes when it comes to plot, this confirms that most of it are included in the canon story of Generation I, which represents FR/LG, just like when HG/SS had Crystal's plot and features aside from the version-exclusive Pokemon, and they updated it more.īy the way, if some people are confused and for clarification, this thread asks if we can consider Pokemon Yellow a part of the main games or we could just say that it's a semi-spin-off game since it's based on the anime.Ĭlick to expand.It may not have been necessary to remake Crystal, but to say that HGSS used most the of the Crystal elements is inaccurate, and I would certainly not say the plot was more polished. Although most of the features and the plot from Yellow wasn't incorporated in the actual FR/LG game (aside from the happiness formula and the updated moveset of some Pokemon that was first introduced in Yellow), it was then confirmed in HG/SS (which was a direct sequel to FR/LG) that Red and Blue retained their team from G/S/C (aside from Red's Lapras replacing Espeon) that was, of course, based on their team in Yellow, since Red's team are all obtainable in Yellow, and the fact that Pikachu is his main Pokemon. What I mean is that some Yellow elements are included in FR/LG and HG/SS, but FR/LG is of course the canon version representing Generation I.
