>>36818481the soundfont has aged poorly, the themes are repetitive, and it not only has boring battle backgrounds, but no animation whatsoever on top of that; it uses an entirely different concept for Red than has flourished in fanart, it's still stuck in archaic physical and special type-based splitting, and the plot not only is low stakes and, to be honest, somewhat dull, but it's been repeated so often in media since then (Pokemon Origins, for example), that you almost certainly cannot come at it with even a simulation of fresh eyes---you know everything that's going to happen, and all too well
time hasn't been kind to FireRed / LeafGreen. I don't imagine even faithful quality of life hacks can save it.
