Because I'm actually going to finish the game this time when this comes out.
Yes, it makes ALL the difference. Up to that point it's just your typical pokemon game. Then you visit Kanto two years after the last game and it's gone through some dramatic changes. It really gives the pokemon series a more realistic feeling (shut up I know you CATCH ANIMALS WITH BALLS that's not what I mean.) Before (and after) G/S/C it was just a static world where things happen for a certain period of time and then you forget about it once you've saved the world. G/S/C pushes that by showing that the poke-world goes on even when you're not around. Things kept changing, people grew up. It's like going to college and then coming home four years later; it's refreshing and new yet nostalgic and familiar.
I've had this hope for several years now that for the next pokemon games, the final ones (or so they announced) that they will split it up into the typical two games but each will be radically different and feature two regions. One with Kanto/Hoenn and the other with Johto/Sinnoh, featuring their respective pokemon and for once a real reason to not be able to catch them all in one game. Also instead of going through one region to reach the other like in G/S/C, you could choose freely between the two, however you need to surrender your team for that specific region to enter the other until you've completed the league on both sides.
imo that would rule. Also I feel SO GROSS for writing all of that about Pokemon. brb showering.
