>>31348874I started playing with Red Version on my Gameboy and haven't stopped playing pokemon since.
This is probably one of my favorite games. I played it blind, but it was fun.
I liked that they gave the game good music and made it change and gave the game atmosphere. That was my favorite part.
I liked that there were two rivals and triple battles and double battle encounters and rotation battles.
I liked online trading.
I fucking LOVED the first pass through the elite four. Team plasma actually had fucking presence and fighting N with the legendary you got was TOP TIER. It's tied with me for fighting Blue/Green at the end of gen 1.
I hated the linearity and simplified map.
I loved the level jump in the post game. I like being challenged but I don't like having to grind to face challenges (Battle tower) and I also love finding versions of pokemon I couldn't find before in a postgame.
I loved the pokemon selection. They should've used the 160ish pokemon they introduced more, but I liked them overall and appreciate a NEW gen with NEW fucking pokemon.
