So which version you buying guys?Will all mine be able to be catch'd in both versions? Never played the games before,are the ruby & sapphire direct upgrades of these ones?
>>733615902this is a downgrade of the original games for game boy
>>733615902>>Will all mine be able to be catch'dHoly fucking ESL.
I'm playing volt white 2. Feels surprisingly easy after beating inclement emerald but it's fun
Pokemon FreeRed or LeafGreed guys?
>>733615902saar please to of doing the needful?
>>733615902TODAY I WILL REMIND THEM 1/2 Nonsensical changes >more version exclusives added, which is objectively a terrible change (e.g. Psyduck, Shellder, Slowpoke and Staryu are now version exclusive mons, wtf) >there are also now pseudo exclusives that didn’t exist before, e.g. in Viridian Forest, Caterpie is rare in FR, meanwhile Weedle is rare in LG >Giovanni’s ace changed to Rhyhorn (even though he literally had a Rhydon in RBY?????????) >Bruno’s ace spoiled - random Bikers on Cycling Road now have Machamps for some reason Removed Gameplay >no day/night cycle >no days of the week >no berry farming >Golbat and Chansey friendship evo gated off until the postgame (despite the fact that you could just press ‘B’ to stop it if you wanted to) >Eevee friendship evolution IMPOSSIBLE in these games (because no day/night feature, seriously why is this bare minimum feature NOT in the game?) >breeding gated off until the postgame >basically any good feature from Gen 2 is removed or MAY be available in the postgame if you’re lucky Music >several music tracks copied and pasted from RSE (S.S. Anne, Victory themes etc.)>half of the music is remixed into a different key and sounds worse as a result (e.g. bike theme changed from C Major to F major, why the fuck?) >half of the music goes way too far with drums going full schizo mode in some tracks >a few tracks even have parts that are slightly out of tune Baby mode >pressing L or R at any point in the game will bring up a ‘Help’ screen to baby you through the game (basically the Invicibility Leaf of Pokemon)
>>733615902>Will all mine be able to be catch'd in both versions?>all the buyers of this are brownIt all makes sense...
>>733616435 2/2 Other retarded bullshit >the roaming Legendaries Raikou and Entei are bugged - if they use Roar, they now count as ‘defeated’ and you can no longer find them + they’re guaranteed to have low IVs if you do catch them >rather than creating a cool 2nd region which would have significantly increased the quality of the game, they instead decide to give us the ‘Sevii Islands’, which is just 7 shitty islands with hardly anything to do >despite adding Gen 2 Pokemon into the postgame for the Sevii quest, half of the fucking mons aren’t available to catch (e.g. Houndour, Chinchou, Mareep etc. etc.), yet the NPCs do have them, which is a huge middle finger to the player >a lot of the suspense of some of the cutscenes falls flat due to the manner in which the text loads in, for example when Lance reveals that you are not in fact the champion yet and have to beat your Rival first, or when Rival emphatically claims to be the most power trainer in the world - the dialogue just appears in the textboxes, and doesn’t make good use of pauses between phrases for effect >Altering Cave is an unfinished cave that just has Zubats and literally nothing else >VS Seeker doesn’t fucking work in caves and buildings lmfao
>>733615902I didn’t know that Asha Sharma posted on /v/.
>>733616435>day & nightThat wasn't added till second gen though?
>>733616078>downgrade In what way m8
>>733615902Hold up, they just sold KANTOOOOO again? Didnt lgpe come out like 5 years ago?
>>733617564It's been almost 10+ years since the Wii U anon
>>733618124But the lets go games are on switch.
>>733617097nta but aside from the gameplay being a bit more engaging and having a bit more challenge, everything else is worse. Worse music and visuals and less charm.
>>733615902None, I'm playing Moemon now
>>733617564>>733618152It was 8 years ago and the switch itself is 9 years old.
>>733615902Probably LeafGreen
Is there a romhack for the original Red/Blue that allows you to get all 151 mons without trading? Thinking of replaying it on emulator.
>>733618479There is
>>733618197>Worse music and visuals and less charm.On opposite day, there's no reason to play the originals when the remakes made them obsolete.
>>733618538Fuck all remakes.
>>733618650You fuck me? No, I fuck you!
>>733616078>you now remember the beta designsThis would have been pure kino
>>733615902I ain't buying this bullshit you fucking goy cattle fuck
>>733615902>are the ruby & sapphire direct upgrades of these ones?They're supposed to be different games, as in a different story in a different place. They're still close enough, but one isn't an upgrade. If you want more Pokemon, you should get other software when you're done. PKHex can make whatever its asked to.
>>733615902I bought Leaf Green but now that I have a switch 2 I might grab Fire Red to send to my old switch for trades. I'm still on the fence about the work for it though.
>>733618963You alright anon
>>733618479There is like a million romhacks that let you do that and much more.
>>733618479Different flavors of that style too. Like one that's not just the 151, but also their accompanying evolutions introduced later on in the series, so you can have the completed Kanto mons.
>>733620340thanks anon
>>733618869There's that gold romhack that restores all the beta designs. It's pretty good
>>733616516So basically stuff an first time player would have no way of knowing?
>Modern /v/ is bootlicking tendie fag pilled they'll defend the original demakes that were made fun of for years just to own da "snoys" Grim.
>>733622413>original demakesHow are FRLG in any way a demake?
>>733622760>>733616435>>733616516
I physically own leaf green, I'm good thanks.
>>733616435Turning L/R its designated help buttons always seemed really weir to me. Like put it in the menu or something.
>>733615902lol
>>733615902
>>733618479I've been playing Yellow Legacy the past few days which does this. It's the most fun I've had playing Gen 1 since I was a kid, really well desgined romhack
>>733615902I have them both pirated probably.No I’m not buying a switch
>>733616435What did "Help" actually do?
Reminder to not but FireRed if you wanna complete the dex. Gale of Darkness has all of FR's exclusives but is missing Slowpoke.
>Poketards when Nintendo drops 22 year old gba games with no new features for $20
>>733615902>buying
>>733622787I don't think you know what a demake is. You listed a bunch of shit that isn't even in red/blue/yellow
>>733623053why did they do it like that lol
>>733623053Bold of you to assume these games will be able to interface with the NSO releases of Colosseum and Gale of Darkness. You likely won't even be able to return Pokemon to them from Home, which means the only way to complete the Pokedex is through local wireless (unless you own two Switches and buy one game on each (or if in the bizarre case that the GBA + wireless adapter can interface with the VC rereleases)).
Losers bitching about this will DoorDash their tendies orders for the same price as both games without a second thought
>>733622760Any remake is a demake. All remakes are objectively bad. Go play the original.
>>733623247I am unfamiliar with how to use doordash.
>>733615902Leaf Green is the superior version.>Staryu>Cheaper Porygon
>>733623247I bet you do both, you consoomer nigger
>>733623285No, not all remakes are demakes.
>>733616435I agree with some of the things you're saying but I really love the music in FRLG. It's not my favorite, Gen 4 is, but I think it has the best battle themes in the franchise. The trainer battle music is awesome and really complex for GBA: https://youtu.be/ripAdW8qWoM?si=uZ-v3zIdQHlzE9rUI really wish they did this style of music again with real instruments.
>>733623285REmake for the GC/Wii are superior to the ps1 original, RE4 port is also the best way to play that game.
Leaf Green for Starmie
>>733618869Beta Suicune is pure sexo.
>>733622943fucking based
>>733615902Uhh...This is the third time they've released Red and Green. Are they just going to keep releasing Red and Green every 10 years forever? Please tell me none of you played the originals, what's the point of doing the same game again. Lol.
>>733623390>>733623349If a remake costs money, it's objectively bad. It should only be a free update to the original game. Otherwise it just proves that they're desecrating a corpse for money.
>>733623518For a lot of people the rerelease is probably just a motivator to play these games. Like, an excuse or something.
>>733623554Ah so you are just a poorfag. You also still don't know what the term "demake" means.
>>733617097Less sovl.
>>733623554>It should only be a free update to the original gameYou are not old enough to be on this site
>>733615902I've never played either. Leaning towards LeafGreen
>>733622943>Everybody kneeled as a sign of respect
>>733623108>laughs at poketards>man in the image is happy, a full set of hair and has mobility>anon is miserable, bald and fathuh?
>>733623518I actually never played them. I was poor as fuck during the GBA/DS days
>>733623053Qrd?
>>733623225Because Genius Sonority is retarded. If you wanna 100% the gen 3 dex by yourself you need LG + Colosseum + XD + 2 playthroughs of Emerald for the fossil mons and Latias/Latios.
>>733623554>I-It should be freeWhy? The devs who made the changes or ported the code deserve to be compensated for their labor.
>>733623852Every single one of FireRed's exclusives are in Gale of Darkness, and almost all of Leafgreen's Pokemon with the exception of the Slowpoke line are also in that game making FireRed completely optional but LeafGreen absolutely mandatory for dex completionists.
>>733623554>Free update>Different hardware>2003Bot.
>>733615902LeafGreen has better exclusives
>>733623904>whyIt's their punishment for being unoriginal and needing to pander to nostalgia.
>>733623852GoD's Pokemon selection was intended to round out the national dex (Mythicals aside and Ho-Oh/Lugia were coded as mythicals in gen3) for people who own Emerald and either Fr or Lg but they fucked up and forgot to add Slowpoke.
The online discourse for this is retarded>Nooooo! This is outrageous because I can emulate GBA games for free on my phone!Cool story bro? Didn't ask.
>>733618538it looks gay and they made a lot of shit even more retarded than it already was
>>733615902I dont want to replay the most boring games this franchise has to offer with the worst dex variety, move list, version exclusives all for 20 bucks and no I'm not kidding. That being said you would have to pay me to play fire red or leaf green.
>>733624345>Cool story bro? Didn't ask.Nobody asked for your stance on piracy either.
>>733616435>>no berry farmingmeme complaint. go play a farming sim if you want to farm shit
>>733624220>punishmentKill yourself faggot. I can already tell you're a self righteous loser who got bullied all his life, you probably cope by pretending you're smarter or more sophisticated, but the truth that we all know, even you, deep down is that you're just an insufferable faggot nobody wants to spend time around. You're not Kira, real life isn't an anime, stop being so fucking cringeworthy and insufferable.
>>733624496Y-yeah, Pokemon probably doesn't make any money!
>>733624464Companies porting their old games to their consoles is good. Feeling the need to talk about your emulations habits every time it happens is like a vegan talking about how they eats nuts, beans, and fortified foods every time you go out for a taco.>Inb4 food analogyDidn't ask
>>733624651should be like $2
>>733624651if you don't want to listen to someone talk about their emulation habits, then hide their post.
Thirdies fucking MALDING over this holy shit
>>733624703>playing these boring ass games for more than 0Its honestly funny how niggas are willing to throw away 20 dollars for mind numbingly ass games for the chance at mystery gift tickets potential or because theyre actually retarded member berries zombies
>>733624453>boring There's still gen one games, anyone with even an passing interest will get a god look at just how the series has had lasting appeal throughout all this time
>>733624651I'm not reading that. I didn't ask.
>>733615902I mean if you’re brand new just get the one with the cool dragon on it. Don’t overthink it
>>733624909Didn't ask
>>733623053>XD
>>733624891These remakes are gen 1 games with absolutely none of the fun broken shit & less viable pokemon than the originals, but you are right about one thing. Retards will glaze it anyways just like (you)
>>733625085>less viable pokemon than the originalsYou are beyond retarded
>>733618869benis :DDDDD
>>733625150Literally yes. You cant do fun stat boost stacking or anything so if your favorite pokemon is fucking parasect or beedrill its over. That objectively means less choice you dumb congress. Now go be a good boy and boughted and redeemed the 20 dollar sloppa. I already know what kind of retard you are because you probably got your opinion from a youtuber and think every human being in existence just used kadabra or some shit
>>733625426I don't know why they never fixed this issue. 90% of pokemon are useless competitively, and the singleplayer is such casual garbage that you could beat the whole game with a level 100 caterpie if you wanted. So it's pointless.
>>733624925>retard recommends the worse versionKys
>>733625426>mon with Spore or mon with Swords Dance>unviableAre you retarded?
>>733625743Are they viable at level 1? Or do you have to grind for them to be useful?
Honestly FRLG kind of sucks, they're the blandest pokemon games by far. You should just play LGPE for a fresher Kanto, no wild battles suck but the gym battles are better than FRLG's at least.
>>733625825>Beedrill or Parasect at lv 1Why is it that autistic whiners always complain about nonsensical bullshit?
>>733625990they made that one even more fucktarded and easy wtf are you a braindead retard?
>>733616078the music is a downgrade for sure, but just by the fact that most of the bugs are gone makes it better by default. imagine having moves that actually do what theyre supposed to instead of the opposite lmao
>>733625990>lgpiss>hey goy, don't try to challenge the gymnah
>>733625990The one that specifically removed abilities and held items?
>>733626058the bugs were better getting rid of them is gay
>>733617564If these do sell well enough you can be sure pic-related will follow
>>733626007Brown 3rd worlders too stupid to emulate and too poor to buy the rerelease so they desperately try to demonize the games while knowing little about them.
>>733626039FRLG itself was a casual game anon. And yeah LGPE's gyms are a bit stronger, like Misty's Starmie uses Scald now.
>>733626128>focus energy making it impossible to crit is kinoooohuh??
>>733626007So you have to grind for them to be even slightly useful. Sounds like gacha trash to me.
Is online battling in?
>>733626182LGPE was even easier than RBY, they even made the puzzles more retarded. Yeah it was already easy to begin with, yet they keep making it MORE retarded. It's garbage.
>>733626509>sounds like gacha trashKek never go full retard anon
>>733626976I'm not the one who supports Pokeslop, so no worries.
>>733627185You've spent hours monitoring a pokemon thread. You seem to care about the series a lot.
>>733627185>FRLG>pokeslop>pick oneFRLG is kino
>>733627430Yep but HG was the best followed by clear crystal

>titlescreens: the threadPathetic. At least a zoomie emulating on their phone is having fun
So if we're having a pkmn thread...Any recommended rom hacks? I like Sour Crystal.
>>733628384>implying I just fired up my first game in decades m8
>>733628538You could have done so each and every day in this last decade, but you decided to do so after parting with 20 bucksCattle
>>733616078FpwpWhat a pathetic Boomer take
>>733617564Go back under your Rock type dumb anon.
>>733622943Someone spent over $200 before tax to get Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on Switch in every language LOL
I played so much pkmn during the NDS era, I don't think I'll ever has as much fun again. A toast to those who knew this image.No idea if the site still exists. Heard the website was infected with malware around the pandemic years.
>>733626131Currently playing Emerald Legacy and it’s so much better I don’t know if I can go back to vanilla Emerald.
>>733628138true, HGSS are unrivaled kino
>Scyther only learns one Bug-type move leveling up and it's Fury Cutter at fucking level 46>it can get Silver Wind from breeding but that's postgame in the absolute worst Daycare Center location in the entire franchise>Venusaur can use Sludge Bomb but it's a postgame TM
>>733618869We got robbed
>>733628976>legacy What's it add?
>>733628914Based, he'll never run out of foreign Dittos

>>733628939Did you try way back machine?
Midnight bump!
Shan't be getting it if the events aren't there as I already have FR.
>>733628805you're groomed
>every new game has less effort than the previous one>they finally gave up on trying altogether and just re-released an old game on the current console>it's very likely going to be the best selling game in the whole series tooAt this point all I can do is laugh.
>>733615902Buy an ad.
>>733615902Isn't this basically just a rom? Why pay for it?
>>733632716uhhhhh nintendo doesn't have enough money for doing effortless things
>>733628638OofI don't think OP can recover from this.
>>733615902these threads always remind me why this franchise needed it's own board. Buncha fucking spergs.
>>733618869whoever made this is a retard who doesn't understand GSC's pallet limitations
>>733624453no one is making you play scarlet/violet
>>733616435>more version exclusives added, which is objectively a terrible change (e.g. Psyduck, Shellder, Slowpoke and Staryu are now version exclusive mons, wtf)Every generation has version exclusive pokemon. This isn't a FRLG-exclusive issue.>there are also now pseudo exclusives that didn’t exist before, e.g. in Viridian Forest, Caterpie is rare in FR, meanwhile Weedle is rare in LGNon-issue. Still easier to find than full odds shinies. >Giovanni’s ace changed to Rhyhorn (even though he literally had a Rhydon in RBY?????????)Agreed. Really dumb change.>Bruno’s ace spoiled - random Bikers on Cycling Road now have Machamps for some reasonWhat's wrong with the bikers having some slightly tougher pokemon?>no day/night cycleRBY didn't have day/night cycle either. It's literally faithful to the originals.>no days of the weekRBY didn't have clock-based events either. >no berry farmingYou technically can in the Sevii Islands.>Golbat and Chansey friendship evo gated off until the postgame (despite the fact that you could just press ‘B’ to stop it if you wanted to)Dumb "faithful" change is dumb, but then again they didn't give us any hard counters to Psychic types before postgame either.>Eevee friendship evolution IMPOSSIBLE in these games (because no day/night feature, seriously why is this bare minimum feature NOT in the game?)We'll probably be able to trade for them in the future when RSE are added to the eShop. >breeding gated off until the postgameProbably a balance decision, but could also be a decision to prevent us from getting gen 2 babies before postgame for "FaiTHfuL" reasons. >basically any good feature from Gen 2 is removed or MAY be available in the postgame if you’re lucky Again, the devs wanted to be faithful to the core experience of the original games We now know they went overboard with this mindset.
Being able to catch and use monsters from other generations make the games worse. Creates balancing issues and disincentivizes exploring the new roster
>>733615902I've been playing emerald rogue instead with double battles enabled. fun enough little thing, though I'm a lucklet and keep getting screwed encounter and gym wise. Like I picked up a Politoed and Basculegion, both with drizzle and swift swim and figured I could start sweeping with choice band wave crash, and then I get the lightning and grass gyms back to back. My main support mon otherwise was a Togekiss, and he got smoked by a crit while I was trying to catch something.
>>733616435>>several music tracks copied and pasted from RSE (S.S. Anne, Victory themes etc.)Probably to save time. The devs couldn't even finish the Sevii Islands before being forced to launch FRLG.>>half of the music is remixed into a different key and sounds worse as a result (e.g. bike theme changed from C Major to F major, why the fuck?)Creative design change, but if you liked the original chiptune, then the entire soundtrack should disappoint you by default.>>half of the music goes way too far with drums going full schizo mode in some tracksPersonally, I find the wailing horns to be more obnoxious due to them sounding like drowning turkeys with trumpets up their asses.>>a few tracks even have parts that are slightly out of tuneYou mean tracks like Victory Road? The bell was a nice addition but the wailing horns ruin it entirely.>pressing L or R at any point in the game will bring up a ‘Help’ screen to baby you through the game (basically the Invicibility Leaf of Pokemon)Not sure why this surprises you, but ALL mainline games are handholdly with this kind of shit. Ever play Sun/Moon or SwSh? It's far worse with every successive generation.>the roaming Legendaries Raikou and Entei are bugged - if they use Roar, they now count as ‘defeated’ and you can no longer find them + they’re guaranteed to have low IVs if you do catch themWe can only hope they patched it with this release.>rather than creating a cool 2nd region which would have significantly increased the quality of the game, they instead decide to give us the ‘Sevii Islands’, which is just 7 shitty islands with hardly anything to doBerry harvesting, postgame trainers, johtomon to catch, new NPCs with quests/chores to do, new postgame Rocket storyline, breeding, berry minigames, event islands, etc. What more did you want exactly?
>>733616516>despite adding Gen 2 Pokemon into the postgame for the Sevii quest, half of the fucking mons aren’t available to catch (e.g. Houndour, Chinchou, Mareep etc. etc.), yet the NPCs do have them, which is a huge middle finger to the playerProbably to encourage trading with others. Did you forget these RPGs are designed to interact with other players for full pokedex completion?>a lot of the suspense of some of the cutscenes falls flat due to the manner in which the text loads in, for example when Lance reveals that you are not in fact the champion yet and have to beat your Rival first, or when Rival emphatically claims to be the most power trainer in the world - the dialogue just appears in the textboxes, and doesn’t make good use of pauses between phrases for effect >Altering Cave is an unfinished cave that just has Zubats and literally nothing elseAgain, the devs probably ran out of time.>VS Seeker doesn’t fucking work in caves and buildings lmfaoThat's like complaining your bike doesn't work in most buildings.

>>733623850>poketard>cope>projectionhuh?
>buyingbut I already boughted it 20 years ago for my GBA?
>>733636429Stop being poor.Buy it again.
>>733615902>Will all mine be able to be catch'd in both versions?Probably not unless they changed things. Gen 3 is notorious for needing like 10 games to complete the dex including the spinoffs Colosseum, XD and Channel
>>733636602I'll guess I'll stop being poor any buy it again
>>733636798ThisGen 3 is the hardest to catch em all and those Bonus Discs to acquire Jirachi and Celebi have been scalped for yearsThe only holy grail that still exist are untouched Pokemon Ranger with the DLC for legit Gen 4 Manaphy
>>733615902I boughted both versions in all languages to support my favorite gaming company in the world!!!
>>733628914This is so jewish, why not just add options to change the language within the game instead of copying a bunch of times?
>>733616435>>there are also now pseudo exclusives that didn’t exist before, e.g. in Viridian Forest, Caterpie is rare in FR, meanwhile Weedle is rare in LGThis was the case in Red and Blue
>>733616078I have yet to hear an argument why RBY is "better" other than it was the one boomer anons grew up with and turbo autists sperging over using trees to mark out of bounds instead of copy pasted rocks.
