It hasn't
I started a new playthrough of pokemon red on my gameboy color today (choosing the based blue color palette) and I'm treating it like what its supposed to be:
>catch monsters
>conquer dungeons
>build a strong party
>explore
>have an adventure
Its really fun if you just get into the right mindset and not look at it through the lens of the past 25 years. Its a nerdy traditional JRPG with a monster collecting flair.
I'm SO FUCKING ready to catch my bro pikachu
