>>32938628Shiny Gold Sigma. It's a gen 2 "remake" built on Firered, but it's actually changed quite a bit and has a lot of new content.
Pros:
>Adds Physical/Special split>Adds Fairy-type>All 802 Pokemon are available to catch and use in game>Adds moves and abilities from later gens>Adds a Mega Evolution mechanic, all Pokemon with Megas are compatible.>Adds some quality-of-life improvements, repels ask if you want to spray a new one after one runs out, etc.>After beating Johto, you gain access to Kanto, Hoenn, and eventually the Orange IslandsCons:
>Inconsistent enemy trainer 'mon levels.Usually you'll be a high enough level with enough Pokemon on your team to deal with it, but occasionally an NPC will have a Pokemon that's like level 40 when the other NPCs around them are at 28. Plus it's Johto so level curve is always gonna be kinda bad.
>New Moves only half-changedMost new moves are over-writing old ones. X-Scissor replaces Fury Cutter and Close Combat replace Mach Punch. However, the creator didn't change the effects of those moves to match, just the BP and the name. So Close Combat is a 120 BP Priority move with no drawback, and X-Scissor starts at 80 BP and 100 ACC and doubles damage with each consecutive hit.
>GlitchesProgramming isn't 100% solid 100% of the time. Using a mega in double battles is a bad idea, instead of mega evolving you take a huge stat-drop(Charizard 10+ levels above the target did barely any damage with super effective flamethrower, got OHKO'd by a Skull Bash from Delibird)
Other than that it's a pretty solid game.
