>less than a month after launch>zero discussionThese games have worse legs than 'za
?? it's been over 20 years though ????
frlg is one of the most emulated games of all time aside from emerald. what else is there to say
>>59029256The switch isn't 20 years old, retard
I've been playing a rom of it on my 3ds recently. Which part do you want to talk about?
>>59029286I named my Ekans "Kcoc" and wasn't wordfiltered.
>>59029250I put thirty-something hours into Fire Red on the Switch and after finishing the Sevii Islands' story last night I realized I ran out of fun things to do.>Breeding sucks because no Flame Body, Everstone, Destiny Knot, or even a good route to hatch on>Hunting for good Natures sucks because no Sycronize>EV training is a slog since your only Power item is the Macho Brace>Even if you do all the above effort there's not really a mode that justifies the investment>Shiny hunting is 1/8192 no matter what you do which is nightmarish coming from modern games>Won't be able to transfer my bros to Colosseum/XD to see them in 3D>Will probably have to trade to RSE instead of moving my bros through Home when/if RSE comes out, which is very cumbersome as someone who only has one console and no friends.
>>59029377hehe cheeky
>>59029468>RATTATA was WRAPPED by Kcock>Your Kcoc grew to level 8!
>>59029250Good, 'za had like 10 'threads' up dedicated to shit like trainers, shiny hunting, and online. The discussion around that game felt very forced.
Base FRLG are the blandest games in the franchise. I'd only purchase it if you really want a Softboiled Clefable for other games.
>>59029501That's irrelevant for Switch ports since new gens wipe movesets and you can only
>>59029430>Colosseum/XDXD isn't compatible with anything (not even HOME), so that's not a FRLG-exclusive issue.>Will probably have to trade to RSEFRLG was confirmed to have a one-way compatibility with HOME, which is total horseshit. It SHOULD be able to allow FRLG pokemon back into FRLG outright.
>>59029521*only move straight to Home. At best moving it to Sword/Shield were it'd be illegal for PVP anyway.
Once my Kcoc is level 13 it can learn how to bite.
>>59029541I love using arbok in a playthrough. Used one for the first time in HG recently after buying it on a whim from the game corner, and its moves are so fun to play. It's not one of those that just spams its main stab (since poison is shit lol). Also it's an unstoppable machine in pokeathlon if you juice it up. Take good care of your Kcoc.
>>59029593>Take good care of your Kcoc.I will. I've thought long and hard about how I'm going to play with my Kcoc, and I think I'm going to like having her as a member of my party. I want to thread my Kcoc all the way through victory road, and finally, thrust myself into the Pokemon League.
>>59029259are you implying emerald is more emulated than firered?
>>59029430I don't think they expect people to care about the competitive play in FRLG, >>59029377you can't even complete the Pokédex if you buy both versions. I think the real deal will come when they release Emerald, and you can get ribbons for your Pokémon at the Battle Frontier
>>59029601Just be careful exposing your Kcoc to Sabrina...
>>59029668>exposing Kcoc to erika: >:)>exposing Kcoc to sabrina: :'o
i'm currently playing an emulated version of fire red i never played a gen 1 game before and i have to say that it's okaya lot of the pokemon just don't look really cool in my opinion compared to gens that came after it, but man i'm whooping everyone's ass gary has been no match for me even when he catches me off guard tooi do need more type coverage though
>>59029250Best selling rereleases btw
>>59029846where are the sales numbers?
>>59029430They should have done a few updates to the old game, so it's not much of a slog to replay after several years
>>59029853Top the eshop best seller list all week, might go another round unless no major release comes
>>59029250>There's literally a 3rd gen general thread>Seeing the game pop up all over social media>20 year old gameIt's not a "new" game so it's not gonna be all over the place.
>>59029859That’s for Switch, I’m sure if a Switch 2 was required it would be behind Pokopia.
Lapras or Seadra for my 5th team member and Water type? Still trying to figure out a 6th member too. Running Raichu, Charizard, Parasect, Kangaskhan, Lapras/Seadra in LG.
>>59029250>>59029256>The "game is decades old" defenselove to see it
>>59029660Lucy sexo
>>59029730>i never played a gen 1 game before>a lot of the pokemon just don't look really cool in my opinion compared to gens that came after itwhat gen did you start out in
There's genuinely fuck all to do in these.
>>59029999A fellow parasecter. Currently got charmeleon, parasect, golduck, hypno and nidorino, kind of considering training this scyther I just caught but its moves are disappointing, could be good catcher with false swipe, couple of HMs? I also just got a magneton and electabuzz which I'm also considering.
>>59029631well yeah
>>59029999I like Lapras for the Ice Beam STAB, it learns it relatively early without needing a TM and makes short work of Lance's dragons, also helps against the Ground mons in Victory Road in case you run out of Surf PP
>>59029430>a good route to hatch onRoute 17 you dunce.
>>59029250Literally everyone is playing FRLG and discussing them on Twitter. My timeline is full of FRLG playthroughs, FRLG shiny hunting, and so on.Just because veepee fags aren't discussing the game as much as it deserves, doesn't mean everyone else isn't discussing it.Veepee genuinely hates Pokemon sadly.
>>59029250I caught every possible species lines in FRLG and traded them over to my main save. Reseting for a shiny Deoxys a bit until the rng manipulation has been updated. Waiting for the Emerald port.Not much to talk about an old game I know better than most people online
>>59029527You couldn't transfer back after taking them out of the cart by transfer, why the fuck do you think they'd waste time writing NEW code to handle that? The system is pretending to be a GBA, I'd guess the Home transfer will treat it akin to how Pal Park handled pokémon transfers, everything involved is likely bullshitting being of-the-era tech to allow this shit to happen in the first place, fuck me. Is it youth or ignorance that you have no clue about the before days?
>>59030191r/veepee/ hates pokémon, /vp/ is not bothered regurgitating "discussion" about a game they grew up with and revisited on occasion, just because it got a re-release (shit, I never played it back in the day and I have no interest in discussing it, despite playing it ATM, because it's literally just a rehash remake of Red and I didn't agree with any the additions or changes first time out). If it was new, there'd be enough spam on the board to prove the interest, but no-one gives a shit, save the spergs on twitter who never met it to play it prior.
>>59030095gen 3 a lot of the pokemon from gen 1 just looked too boring gen 2 is when they started getting more cool designs
>get Thick Club>the three Cubones I caught are Mild, Modest, and TimidWell fuck me. And the Mild one has Lightning Rod instead of Rock Head. Guess I’m not using one.
>>59030399This feels like bait. Gen 1 are the original designsGen 2 were designed to be much cuter be appealing to womenGen 3 was a harsh swing back the other way and designed to be edgier.
>>59030509Seemed like a steep drop off after that point. I've learned to partially accept and partially tolerate gen 4 years later after initially dropping the franchise at diamond, but beyond that, it's just too much. I always think there's no way to surpass the horrors of the last gen but they keep managing to do it somehow, although 6 was a step up from 5, barely.
>>59030572>Seemed like a steep drop off after that point.This is how I feel. Love Gen 1 and 2, and 3 has grown on me a lot. From Gen 4 onward its very hit and miss
>>59030509As someone who started with Blue Version on an original gameboy, not a pocket, not a color, the gray brick, I agree. Gen 1's designs are pretty awful across the board as far as I'm concerned. So many shitmons, so many dogshit designs. Like shit man even the starters that aren't named charmander end up ugly as shit.
>>59030616>>59030572Again I've had the opposite experience as I got older. I've found more and more of the gens 1-3 dex lacking, and more and more of the gens 4+ dex looking better, up till probably the switch era where 90% of all the designs are just sort of shit.Like, noibat/novern blow any dragon type in gen 1 and the zubat line totally out of the water for bat-adjacent pokemon. And again don't get me started on the fat fuck venusaur, meowscarada clears easily.
>>59029660This. The main thing motivating me to build gen 3 teams and resources is the inevitable Emerald. Getting all those mons, plus BF, plus changes to abilities and moves. Having it on Switch will be great.
>>59029855play a QoL romhack like FRLG Plus instead
>>59029250Still shiny hunting charmander
>>59029430ribbon master
>>59029250I wasn’t gonna buy them because RSE are the better Gen 3 games, and RBY are the better Kanto games. Then I learned that the Switch ports includes the Deoxys event ticket, and that datamining and speedrunning spergs figured out how to do ACE in FRLG with the mail glitch similar to how you can do it in GSC with the Coin Case glitch. You can use it to do things like unlock the national dex early and generate shiny eggs of any Pokemon in Gen 3. I’m tempted to try it because of Champions coming next month.
