I really like both FRLG and LGPE and I can't decide which game I prefer.

FRLG has:
>Sevii Islands
>Johto Pokemon
>Improved Pokemon League rematches
>Trainer Tower
>VS Seeker
>Safari Zone
>Game Corner minigames
>Selphy's requests

LGPE has:
>Mega Evolutions
>Alola regional variants
>Following/Riding Pokemon
>Improved Pokemon League rematches (+Red and Green rematches)
>Gym Leader rematches
>Master Trainers rematches
>Trainer Customization
>Playing with Pikachu/Eevee
>Play Yard minigame

So, which game is better in your opinion?

The fuck? It's not even a comparison. LGPE is more akin to a kid's toy than it is to a mainline installment.

>Megas

Not enough and they didn't even add a special sequence when activating the megastone during battle.

>Alola variants

WOW. We get Alolan Variants at the cost of axing 7 generations worth of Pokemon with not even 2nd or 3rd generation Pokemon WHICH FRLG had.

>Following/Riding Pokemon
>Improved Pokemon League rematches (+Red and Green rematches)
>Gym Leader rematches
>Master Trainers rematches
>Trainer Customization

Still not enough to make it comparable IMO. As charming as LGPE may be it is still a gutted Kanto experience.

Visually LGPE is beautiful and gives much needed color and even character to Kanto. I can't tell if even a shitpost or bait but I personally really did love the models used and how they gave more life tot he classic Kanto characters. Especially Blaine. I loved his quiz show shenanigans and how he was trying to sell you plushies of himself. I just wish the difficulty was a bit harder as I noticed a lot of trainers had very little Pokemon to actually use with most trainers having 2-3 even if their FRLG teams had 4-5. Aloan forms give much better diversity which I love and I also have nostalgia for FRLG and its GBA graphics. Also I am unironically a Kaaaaaaaaaanto-fag. Not necessarily a genwunner as I still enjoy the other regions and mons from other generations but Kanto will always be my home.

I disagree. The only significant Pokemon Go element in LGPE is the catching mechanic. Everything else is mainline.

oh just the main mechanic to acquire creatures, which also happens to feed exp to your entire team
basically nothing then :\

in terms of breadth of content there really is no comparison between the two, also LGPE is extremely easy in general even without megaevolutions
the main combat of the series is technically there, but when you pull out Mega-Charizard X there's nothing in the roster that is even remotely able to go toe to toe with you

LGPE is worse off for having Trace as a rival when Blue was one of the most memorable parts of gen 1. All because Masuda thought some people would get their feelings hurt if they depicted him in higher graphical fidelity. Also it makes taking down TR much less of an accomplishment when it's now a group effort instead of a single trainer doing it which is what NPCs were praising Red for in the originals.

I already explained how it's not the classic one.
The mechanics don't exist in a vacuum, they're dependent on all the other mechanics to function correctly and at the right difficulty level.
If the wild encounters make it so easy to outlevel all enemies in the actual battles, the battles might as well not be in the game anymore.
And LGPE's battles are too easy to begin with, and there's no battling other players.

I like LGPE for what it is, but it's not a mainline pokemon game, it's a spin off.

LGPE is the first game I've played since HGSS and it really is a lower level of easy. Between the Exp Share and getting Exp for catching Pokemon my team is overleveled as fuck without any grinding, which just makes the game a slog.

I didn't say that all Pokemon games are equally easy, but since they're all easy, it doesn't really matter that much if one is a bit easier than another. Nobody plays Pokemon for the difficulty. And even then, LGPE has some relatively challenging postgame content (Master Trainers, Pokemon Trainer Red, etc)

depends
older games, depends on how you play them
if you stick to only using your starter the entire time, and have your other 5 slots as turns to use revives and potions, then yeah it's extremely easy
the more pokemon you keep at the same level at once, the harder it gets
with games like USUM, XY and ORAS, you still have that option if you disable the exp share. I recently played USUM with 4 main pokemon and the exp share disabled and it kicked my ass, you just won't have answers to everything and you won't always go first.
Try it for yourself, because the game is balanced with Exp. Share in mind it's actually a lot harder than older games.
with games like SV there is no option to avoid getting to the next gym leader with pokemon that are 5+ levels above their ace, because catching gives exp and the exp share is mandatory, unless you straight up avoid playing the game and just rush through everything skipping every battle and catching no pokemon, I guess
LGPE offers no attrition whatsoever, and that's what it is meant to do.
It's a joyride with silly anime stuff.
I like it, but it's not a mainline game.

Almost every other mainline game has you working together with others to bring down the evil organization and gen 1 was an outlier where your rival hinders your efforts against them. It's just strange that they go this direction for Let's Go when they've been jerking off Red for years as the legendary trainer who single handedly took down Team Rocket.
