FRLG:
*One of the better looking full price games on GBA
*Added a new endgame
*Came out at a time where kanto hadn't been relevant for a while and needed some love
*Added whole new landmasses to the game, adding to it's length.
*Challenging battle facilities
*Brought gen 1's mechanics up to date with the games that were available at the time while remaining faithful to the original.
*Came with a free GBA accessory in-box for wireless trading.
*Pokemon caught can be transferred all the way to the current games and added to your modern collection.
LGPE:
*One of the worst looking full price games on switch
*Removed the existing endgame
*Came out during a constant flood of kanto pandering.
*Removed the Safari zone, significantly reducing the game's length.
*No Challenges at all, babby's first game syndrome.
*Devolved many important mechanics to the level of gen 1, distancing itself from the main franchise, while also failing to remain faithful by messing with stats, move pools, obtainable pokemon etc.
*Released along with a $50 accessory that is the only way to obtain Mew, essentially physical DLC.
*Not compatible with pokebank.
