Because Kanto is a region that almost everyone has played, also it didn't make any big changes like HGSS and ORAS.

But it's really fucking good.

They're really good. Probably not as good as Emerald, but better than R/S. I felt it was a strange design choice to restrict anything beyond the original 151 to the postgame: I remember being pretty upset that my Golbat kept trying to evolve but couldn't. The Sevii Islands were really neat. Trainer Tower was kind of bullshit and nowhere near Battle Frontier levels of cool but at least it was unique.

It's the number 1 way to experience Kanto without playing a ROM hack.

They're very average. Not in a bad way. Just adequate.

I do wonder why the Sevii Islands aren't discussed more. Its pretty much a mother region. Do people like it?

Simple, better art, johto pokemon, battle tower, 8 islands, still some of the toughest Elite 4. I think it did gen 1 justice for the buggy mess it was. Shame they didn't take some of the things from Emerald and put it on FR/LG. Would have been a very bold remake

Exploring the sevvi islands for the first time was amazing and actually felt adventurous. Sadly they were empty as hell. Would have been tits if they had included a Johto legendary on one of the islands. Sadly Ho-Oh and Lugia were events only at the time

You can't get fucking Staryu and Growlithe in the same game!

Also they didn't consider that Bellsprout 40 fucking points of special defense (down to 30) since Gen 1, so LG players who picked Charmander just have to grind their balls off to beat Misty.

The trouble is that it won't be faster, has nonexistant defenses and doesn't actually resist Water attacks. A Pikachu cannot defeat the Starmie without a significant level advantage; you have to grind it to a greater extend than you would a Charmeleon.

Only Paras, Magikarp and Bellsprout resist Water at that point. Best bet might be Clefable/Wigglytuff with their readily available evolution stones and sp.defense.

If you're trying in gen 3, then yep. Slowpoke line is exclusively available in leafgreen, and you'll need at least one for the starters and fossils. Since you need to complete the sevii islands subquest to trade to hoenn or orre games, you might as well have one game complete and another to restart and farm starters/fossils for.

It's fine. It's serviceable as a remake of gen 1.

I prefer the original gen 1, mostly because the colorized version of Kanto doesn't live up to how I perceive Kanto when playing in black and white. I know that sounds dumb.

Also GBA sound chip is garbo.

Unless you want to keep the mons you trained or have some old event mons, between XY and ORAS, every single Pokemon is or will be available. Hell, even Manaphy, which previously required you to beat a Ranger game to get an egg in Gen IV has been given out via Mystery Gift.

Nope, best bet is still Bellsprout. Even with its terrible Special Defense, it learns Growth and Sleep Powder early, so a team of Bellsprouts spamming Sleep Powder and Growth can Vine Whip Misty's Staryu and Starmie to death easily. Pikachu can help after sleep has taken effect. That's how I do it when I replay LG and choose Charmander.

I was petrified at the thought of asking for shit as a kid but LG was my first pokemon game

like my dad literally back handed me with itit in because he knew I wanted it. I was so confused but happy

I was like, "What?"
And he was all "Its ok to ask for things you want sometimes. You cant always be so passive!"

Then we got ice cream :)

I mean it's technically next on the list.

Didn't you know, they're planning to remake EVERY game, even the remakes. So R/S comes FR/LG.

In all seriousness, I was expecting them to announce Red/Blue remakes for the anniversary until they revealed the virtual console games.

I like them a lot, they feel very adventurous. The thing I love about Kanto the most is how open it is, although there isn't much to explore, it's still nice being able to go to whatever city you want after you get to the center of the region.

The fact that you can't evolve Gen 1 Pokemon into their evos until post game just because they're cross gen is fucking stupid though, woulda been nice to have a acrobat, although Pidgeot is still nice too.

I love FRLG, the music is great, the sprites are very nice considering how bad the other games in gen 3 looked and it has an awesome new set of islands to explore.
While I despise the "dated" meme, FRLG genuinely feel fresh playing them 12 years after. They just look and feel nice.

Also like how Sevii Islands was like an apology for abandoning the majority of gen 2 mons in Ruby and Sapphire.

Easily my favourite gen 3 game, though I like other entries in the franchise better.

They gave it Metal Claw so fire type idiots could have an SE move to spam Brock with. After Misty you have literally no other possible challenge.

Don't talk about a game becoming harder based on which starter you chose until you do a Johto run with Chikorita.

LG is the game I played the most, actually. Whenever I just want to play Pokemon for fun, I play Leaf Green. It's just the most simple (besides the original ones, which are almost unplayable), therefore incredibly fun.
It's also a great remake, improved so much, and - surprisingly - made Charmander less useless by giving him Metal Claw.
