>>36975487>The games are about befriending the monsters and exploring the world and battlingThis is my biggest problem. The world is stagnant and LGPE is a straight up copypaste of the 20 year old RGB parameters that were made for the Game Boy Color, and we're down 600 Pokemon. There aren't even cross gen evolutions. There are literally less Pokemon to befriend or battle with which I feel is LGPE's biggest sin, especially for those who have used and are tired of Gen 1's Pokemon.
A Kanto remake isn't even inherently bad. Imagine if LGPE were a properly redone Kanto, built from the ground up. Imagine being able to go in the Cinnibar volcano to fight Moltres, or finding a second Rocket hideout in the underground passages, maybe finally let that guy in Vermillion make whatever building he had planned, or even added areas with extra towns and new, optional gyms with Fairy, Dark or Steel types.
When you sit down and just ponder about what Kanto can truly be as the home of Pokemon as a franchise, how can you then look at LGPE and say "this is fine, this is worth $60"? I just don't understand it, we deserved better than this. Kanto deserves better than this.
