>>46972563FRLG was a big "fuck you" to players of the original and pumped fresh blood into the franchise. I like when genwunners criticize it as a money grab made just to add the old Pokemon in. The gen 2 pokemon are all in gen 3 and they didn't remake gen 2. That is not the reason they made FRLG. It was made as a gateway for new players. That's why it's simplified and polished over the originals. It makes genwunners mad because GF realized that the majority of people abandoned the games after Pokemania so they couldn't rely on them anymore, they had to build a new fanbase. People feel like they buy one game and the developers owe it tailor every future game for them. Any franchise that tailors to their original fanbase without bringing in new users is doomed to fail.
TLDR: Game for new players not entitled genwunners.
