>except maybe uh... the Sinnoh mining game I guess? Did people like that thing?
I mostly agree with the sentiment that HGSS feels like the natural culmination of all the prior games, however I do think not having secret bases was a huge blunder.
They were a big part of Gen 3 and 4 and it's technically a feature that started its life in Gen 2 with the room decorations.
Not saying the game's like awful because of their absence, but it is one aspect in which it feels like the game's lacking compared to Platinum.
