Am I the only one who loves THESE remakes? You guys always talk about HG/SS and OR/AS but never these.

They're all right.

Blocking cross gen evos was an awful decision, though.

Being autistically close to RBY is it's only flaw, really. The OST is the best of the series by far just because of that awesome snare sample.

I legitamately skipped them solely because there was no blue version.

I have since then come to realize that it's only fair green got a version and they weren't going to remove red for green so it's only natural blue would get swapped but it still bummed me out

agreed, the original 8-bit music is still good but FRLG soundtrack is amazing, expecially some of the battle themes which have sort of a... western vibe put onto them, weirdly enough

Basically what a remake should be and the fact that same company pushed out ORAS years later almost makes me want to cry

Still a terrible game forever because FUCK YOU FOR NOT LETTING MY GOLBAT EVOLVE YOU PIECE OF SHIT

They're not discussed much because they're just Kanto without the nostalgia factor. The only major addition were the Sevii islands, which weren't all that significant. FRLG weren't bad, just kind of underwhelming.

I loved them as a kid, but now the sprites and music bug me. There's something with sprites like Graveler, Machoke or Kingler that feels wrong, and the OST just isn't as good as RSE's and doesn't sound as good as the original. But I still have really good memories of those and the Sevii Islands are great, and they're a lot of fun to play and replay through.

They may not have postgame level curve problems, lack an egg that gives you shiny mons more often, or hand you Articuno, but these are the real worst remakes.

I don't think they are good, I just think they are the least shit. HG/SS are overrated shit. It still has shit scaling and shit variation of pokemon. All you can find are graveller and shit bug types. Most of the pokemon you find aren't even from johto. ORAS was a disaster, it's casualized as fuck and boring, there isn't even a BF. FRLG is what gen I should have been like. The first game isn't that special but it's the first game so it should be done right even if it's the second time.

Better than HGSS, not as good as ORAS. Fun games through and through. The insistence on disallowing non-RBY Pokemon hurt it, though.

The Sevii Islands and the music were the best parts of the games

Kanto is cool but they kept it retardedly close to RBY. A remake should've been RBY, with all the features of newer generations. Cross-gen evos (maybe even the odd Johto mon in the wild), berry trees, headbutt trees, perhaps even a bit more fleshed out characters.

There's no point in a remake, in my opinion, if you're going to leave the bulk of the content almost untouched

Well, remember that the original reason to remake RGB was to have all 386 Pokemon available in Gen III. They thought they didn't really need to do anything else, I think.
Once HG/SS happened, it made more sense to add in new features, since all 493 were already available through GBA transfer.

I totally get that, but it still seems a bit cheap on Game Freaks part. Not even cheap, actually - it's more like they were scared to touch the source material, so they boxed off all of the new stuff into some obscure post-game area. Small things like cross-gen evos, and breeding before the post-game should have been easy enough to put in but they were scared of offending genwunners, which is BS

Zorua is on route 1, but if you can't obtain it in a normal playthrough, what's the point?

One thing that's really great about them is that they are pretty much the LEAST linear games in the series. They sacrifice story in favor of a more "open-world" style.

For example, you can beat the seventh gym before you beat the sixth gym, and you can beat the sixth gym before you beat the fourth and fifth gym if you want.

And there are often multiple ways to get places--to get to the fifth gym, you can either take a long stretch of routes on the right side of the region that include docks filled with fishermen and some land filled with birdkeepers, or you can take cycling road on the left side of the region filled with those thug guys. And to get to the seventh gym, you can surf from the bottom middle and go left through Seafoam islands, or you can just surf from the bottom of Pallet Town.

It's not particularly complex stuff, but it still feels more "adventurous" then the later games in a lot of ways.

>For example, you can beat the seventh gym before you beat the sixth gym, and you can beat the sixth gym before you beat the fourth and fifth gym if you want.

You can also take out Team Rocket in pretty much one fell swoop if you like. You can beat them at the Game Corner in Celadon, grab a drink to give to the Guard and get immediate access to Saffron, then beat them at Silph Co, all within the space of an hour or so. Then you've still got four Gym Leaders to beat before the E4.

Compare it to every other game where the evil team pervades every aspect of the story from start to finish, and its a big improvement.

Gen I really was the only Gen where simply "being the best" was your only motivation.

And not to mention your rival was actually a RIVAL and not just a friend who shows up every five minutes to give you free shit and tell you how awesome you are. There will probably never be something like that again.
