Kanto for the first time

Anonymous Sun 11 Sep 2022 02:31:29 No.51427564 View View Reply Original Report

Despite being born mid 90s I never got to play Kanto. Which is the superior version to try? FRLG or Let's Go

FRLG is the more traditional experience, Let's Go isn't nearly as bad as this board makes it out to be but it's a decidedly different kind of game, for better or worse. But you really should just play RBY, they hold up surprisingly well as long as you know to expect heavy jank going in.

Play the original GB games then play FRLG if you're still interested
FRLG is good but you don't get the same sense of scale you get in the original GB games, for lack of better explanation
Play on an emulator with 8x speed if you have to

Play both Yellow for getting all the starters and FRLG for a more traditional experience + better postgame
LGPE is a baby game

These, basically. People forget just how much RBY pushed the system to its limits, which is something that can only be said for gens 1 and 2 (and maybe 5). It had bugs, sure, but you could really feel how ambitious it was.
LGPE is something to play only if you want to replay Kanto but mixed with Go mechanics. It’s good, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a first playthrough.

if you pick FRLG you get

if you pick let's go you get

>smaller pokedex
>mega evolution

>completely different catching system
>relatively easy shiny pokemon
co
>can transfer pokemon from pokemon GO as long as they are in the LGPE pokedex
>you'll meet a younger version of one of the sun and moon characters there's also alolan forms

honestly my only problem with let's go is that the new protagonist that replaces red should have had his own story in a more modern version of kanto but instead all he does is exactly everything red did in the original game, meaning the red of this world just had an earlier completely different journey that we know nothing about

FRLG, it's not braindead easy like Let's Go but has much better movepools than gen 1. That, and having island-hopping adventures in the Sevii Islands is kino.

LGPE sucks, costs the most and treats you like an actual retard, I'd suggest FRLG, easy to emulate, and there's some extra goodies at the end of the game too.
Like the other anons said though you can't really go wrong with the originals either. I was thinking of replaying Yellow myelf.

RBY if you want the genuine gen 1 experience, FRLG are decent substitutes with reasonable updates and quality of life fixes. LGPE are very different games that happen to have the same characters and story.

I'd say try RBY for the authentic experience then try FRLG if you find it too dated. If that still doesn't work for you, try LGPE.

Why Poketards speak about consoles when they don't even know anything about videogames? Gen 5 is a piece of trash that could fit in a GBA. The GBA had better sprite animations and even full blown 3D monster battle games. The Nintendo DS had enhanced Nintendo 64 games, monster collectors with XY overworld graphics and first person 3D games, retarded gen 5 is a SNES game at best. Gen 1 is a NES game 2 decades after the console came out. Although its at least true that it pushes the autistic gameboy. The other generations that do are gen 6 and gen 7, gen 7 with the overworld too and cutscenes, but mostly the 3D models that are advanced even for 3ds. In fact they needed to remove triple battles from gen 7 due to that and there being the trainer models that made them 6 in total in a double battle. Gen 5 looking good for Nintendo DS is your poketard autism not playing other games not even on the Ds.

Except they don't, LGPE basically retcon the originals and act as if the Pokedex took a year longer to come out, leaving the original Kanto trio to have their adventure without it. Which isn't a bad thing, I honestly prefer it this approach to retreading the exact same story again. But it's wrong to say it's the same characters and story.

I was talking in very broad strokes. Obviously the protagonists are different and there are changes to the narrative. But fair enough, it isn't exactly the same story.

RBY if you're looking for something simple and quick to play or curious to see how it all started. Yellow lets you get all 3 starters and fight Jessie/James a couple times but it's still mostly RB with some team changes. Gen 1 has various glitches you can try like Missingno who copies items and the Mew trick.
FRLG if you really value content. Comes with the Sevii Islands, a mini-region you get to see parts of after the 7th gym, and the postgame features both Gen 2 Pokemon and new E4 teams. Aside from that, the game's basically RB with the bugs removed and Gen 3 mechanics.
Let's Go replaces wild battles with Go-style capturing. Does not come with the FRLG content but it has Mega Evolution, Alolan forms, physical/special split, and following Pokemon. Easiest game of the bunch since you have both an OP starter and forced affection/EXP All.

Why the fuck did they think it was a good idea to staple together gacha catching and mainline Pokemon battling? It's like a Frankenstein game that makes utterly no sense. Either make a KANTOOOO remake with all battling or all Pokemon Go'ing.

Anyways, FRLG is more like an actual Pokemon game but has no physical special split, whereas LGPE has no abilities but has retarded capturing dynamics. Plus FRLG has the Sevii Isles, which were fun. But LGPE is fun to play with a difficulty hack and ALMOST could pass for a re-remake of FRLG.

Pokemon Black is 256 MB. If I'm correct the largest GBA cartridges held 32 MB.
There's really no possible way to put a Gen 5 game on the GBA without massive cuts.
Gen 5 aren't particularly graphically impressive DS games, but it's still too intensive for the Game Boy Advance.

LGPE.

I like Let's go a lot from what little I've played of it, it feels very responsive and the gameplay is much more involved than mashing A like FRLG but if you want that classic pokemon experience FRLG is your go-to, maybe grab a physical/special split hack to make the mechanics less janky.

FRLG just does RBY but better. RBY were not "ambitious" unless you think Fallout 76 was "ambitious". If GF released a game as unfinished and buggy as RBY today /vp/ would rip it to shreds.

Firered is my favorite pokemon game. It's almost faithful to the originals; it has gen 2 and 3 changes added in though, but honestly I think its better this way. The only thing I dont like is the Sevi isles addition, and held items (which are rare).

I suggest it.

OP here, what I ultimately want is to experience Kanto at his highest difficulty. Also I don't hate Mega Evolution but I would like to keep it as classic as possible so I guess I'll go for the Mod of Pokémon FRLG Plus. Thanks
