HGSS is for poser faggots who want to fit it with older Pokemon fans who think the series died during OR after the DS era.
that's aside the fact it was all the Pokemon anime's fault because animators wanted easy-to-animate designs in the upcoming generation since 2

Pokemon died after the Orange Islands ended on tv, don't ever bother it for Shudo's sake.

>BRO LET THE MERCHANDISE DICTATE HOW POKEMON DESIGNS SHOULD BE MADE
Of all the issues and so-called "good" Gen 2 had, this is probably one of the worse mistakes Johto did unto the franchise.
The franchise hasn't recovered since by it, fucking nu-Pokemon, as of today, still abides this philosophy.
