Well for one, it takes me back to my childhood. As much as it sounds like a cheap way of enjoying a game, it's a very real factor. I love the feeling of nostalgia.

But G/S/C (and R/B/Y for that matter) can be appreciated for nothing more than its gameplay and mechanics. It's weird to think how much it feels like you're on an adventure in the Pokémon world, when there's no scenery or realistic graphics. You're nothing but a few blocks of pixels walking around in an 8-bit landscape, but it feels like you're there. The graphics in G/S/C are there so the player can experience the story, raising your Pokémon, and the rest of the gameplay.

It seems too many people get caught up with modern graphics and realism that not-visually-fancy games get left in the dust. Graphics may enhance the overall experience, but too many games rely on great graphics to lay across the rest of the game. I prefer immersion through gameplay rather than immersion through graphics and realism.

For me, this game is simple but fun and it can be played anywhere on my phone.
