Plus there wasn't anything ground-shaking about FireRed or LeafGreen. It was actually sort of a downer because you couldn't obtain (well, you could if you traded with FireRed or LeafGreen) Pokemon outside of the original Pokedex until you defeated the Champion. No breeding until then either. Even after you could access the National Dex, the only Pokemon outside of generations I & II were Azurill & Wynaut, but of course those two are offspring of Pokemon from generation II. Not even all non-legendary generation II Pokemon were available (Hoothoot, Chinchou, Mareep, Sudowoodo, Aipom, Sunkern, Girafarig, Pineco, Gligar, Snubbull, Shuckle, Teddiursa, Corsola, Houndour, Stantler, Smeargle, & Miltank), so that means an absurd amount of trading would be required to complete the National Pokedex. Oh, & Eevee can't even evolve into Espeon or Umbreon in these games due to the omission of time or any sort of substitute.
