🎉20th Anniversary of Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green 

Nothing beats these old games. Gen 3/4 was peak Pokémon for me. Especially the remakes for johto.

Hey man, I've never seen any of your other videos, but just sitting hear listening to you reminisce about times long gone by gave me a sense of calm that I don't get to experience too often anymore. I know I'm just a dude on the internet, but thanks for this.

I have fond memories of playing Fire Red and listening to Pikachu’s jukebox from the Indigo League Anime.

I was 9 when I got my LeafGreen. Can't remember the exact date, but I know I got my copy around the launch. Seeing R/B with a new coat of paint was awesome. I had a couple of friends who also had their own version, so trading and battling was more fun than the previous games with more people to play with. I've accepted that modern Pokemon isn't really for me anymore, but I'll also be excited to sit down and play some classic Pokemon, like especially the GBA games.

I still glad I kept my old Leaf Green cartridge from first grade

It was actually on Sep 9, 2004 but I will definitely be grabbing my gba and playing my firered this weekend. Love your videos man!

I wish I could comment this privately but I just want to tell you thank you so much for this video. My grandparents both passed away this year and I have been diving deep into pokemon for nostalgic therapy and your memories are very symmetrical with mine especially the Christmas story and dad wanting you to charge up the batteries all the way. It really hits hard. Growing up really sucks but it's nice to know we're not alone. Thank you for sharing your memories. ❤

I love your hand written note taking that's real passion

Awesome video man 👍👍

Almost 2025 and I’m still playing those old gens almost every day 🙋🏻‍♀️

I absolutely LOVE these videos. NNH dont miss. 🙏❤️

Love these videos. They’ve helped me re-learn how to be captured by the magic of games again like when I was a kid. It’s hard to put into words lol

I recollected these games about a year ago. Didn't have any of my original games. Just a few days ago I completed my starter hunts in both of them, shiny squirtle for LG and Charmander for FR. Felt surreal getting them in the nick of time before the anniversary, and also within a day and half of each other. Anyway, your videos are a vibe and I chill to them while hunting.

This is definitely a favorite video, listening to personal moments with these games is such a nice change of pace

This video made my day man! Thank you

Loving the content. You really hit close to home Keep pumping out videos !

Super cozy video man, definitely subscribing.

Great video, I admire your passion keeping this notebook with personal notes for your Pokemon journey!

There you go again. Pokemon 3rd gen is haunting me since I sold my soul for this pokemon genration. Bless up

Nidoking is a beast, was sad the nidoran line wasn't in Gen 9

I taught my shiny Charizard Flamethrower, Dragon Claw, Blast Burn, and Iron Tail.

the funniest memory i have of FrLg was when i got Leaf green as a kid i thought the wireless trade cable was venusaur themed but when i got fire red later i wondered why the wireless trade cable didn't look like charizard lol

This man gives me the vibes that old man that fixes Woody in Toy Story 2 gives, only towards videogames instead. I love it.

Been on the same FR save for atleast 16 of the 18 years ive had it. 354 hours, shiny hunting the ghastly i had as a kid somehow as its the only shiny ive ever had other than the red gyarados in gen 2, getting my blastoise to level 100, and completing the pokedex one day. In it for the long haul and ive enjoyed every minute of it 🤟🏻

My sister pretty much owned EVERY single Handheld Mainline game since the first gen (Red, Blue, Yellow) back in the 1990s....She still buys Pokemon games, but she's completed each game ever since, including Colosseum. But for me, Hey You, Pikachu, Pokemon Stadium 1+2, and my favorite, Pokemon Channel, will always be my favorites of all time. 2003 was a special year for gaming for me, so many Nintendo first party games coming out, it was the best time for a 6th gen player, and I've yet to see video games hit that same peak/same feeling/same quality that games from the early 2000s once did. For me, video game movies of my own would have been time capsules for me as a way to show what I used to act compared to what I was in the mid 2010s, and now in the mid 2020s. I'm getting to the point where I will be just as old as the launch of the PS1 and Saturn in America, Panzer Dragoon, Toy Story, and of course, Pokemon, two months later after I was born in December 1995. Next year will be pretty close to Pokemon's 30th anniversary....It's wild to think that time when our parents were growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, and many of us growing up in the 1990s and 2000s, and I don't know how many would feel if the internet, or youtube wouldn't exist....And considering February 2005 will be RU-vid's 20th anniversary....Gosh, it feels like a long time ago when I first entered public elementary school in 3rd grade, but at that point in 2004/2005, I quietly left Pokemon in favor of other franchises like SAW, Hostel Parts 1 and 2, Black Water, and many other horror movies, and eventually in 2007/2008, going on Retrojunk to discover franchises from the 1980s long before nostalgia for it came in the 2010s and 2020s. I'm glad that my siblings and I still own the original consoles to this very day. We don't use them that much as we used to, but we still have them, including the games. But again, wait until the franchise turns 50 years old (much like the 1980s franchises will be in the next decade), and we'll be wondering where the heck time went by. I do hope someday that the same pokemon we have in our games, could also live with us in real life. In a way that doesn't hurt us or damage the houses, properties, etc. but rather, be friends with us and interact/be friends with those you went on adventures with, but now brought to real life....Without using the internet or updating your application, just to have them be with you as company when you're all alone and such (I could only dream about it, but as a child, I knew in 2004/2005, that's what I truly wanted, but it never occurred....Oh well). Happy 20 years FireRed and Leafgreen, here's to 30 years+ of fun gameplay and memories of older pokemon games, as well as the 20th anniversary of Pikmin 2 and Pokemon Colosseum.

Heck yeah man, another good video! Can’t believe it’s been 20 years… Just got done doing my re-playthru and got the 3 shinys I was after (charizard, mewtwo, and dragonite). Not sure what I want to do next, maybe try for a shiny giratina in platinum or diamond 🤔. Anyways…. Keep up the content!

it is absolutely crazy to me that it's been 20 years already. I remember myself being at home with a friend and us playing fr&lg for the first time, using the wireless connector to do a battle. it's so clear in my head. I put so many hours into these games, leveling my whole team to level 100 and trying to finish the pokedex as much as possible. man was I bummed out when I found out I couldn't ever finish it, even with all the trading I've been doing with my friends. but I can't think of a single game that has kept me entertained for such a long time.

My favorite memory involving Pokémon happened on my 10th birthday. I remember really wanting a Pokémon game as a kid back in the day but during that time we didn’t have a whole lot of money. My older brother ended up getting his very first job when he was 16 and little did I know he had been saving up money from every paycheck for my birthday and he ended up getting me a red Gameboy Advance SP alongside Pokémon Fire Red from GameStop (this was in 2009 so about 5 years after these games first released and Platinum was the newest Pokémon game at the time) but little me didn’t care about that and it was the best birthday I ever had as a kid. I remember being so happy about finally getting my very first Pokémon game and I stayed up all night playing it. I wish I still had that stuff today but unfortunately that GameBoy and my games were stolen from me and I never got them back but I did eventually replace my old GameBoy Advance SP with another red one and still have that one to this day

The days are long but the years are short. Another awesome vid, enjoy the LG playthrough

20th anniversary and a 20 min video

I remember being 10 and my parents got my 4 year old brother Pokémon fire red and I was going to “help” him I ended up just taking it over and let him play my other games

Ty for the nice video! Firered was also my first game c:

Lots of good memories on FRLG. Waited in line for two hours at Toys R Us for Mew with LG, and caught a shiny Diglett in FR.

I love how the vid is 20:04 in length lol. cute kid bit

It certainly is a source of core memories. I can't help but hold anger against my younger self for losing my original fire red cartridge. Irreplaceable memories, gone. And an authentic cartridge goes for $200. Man. Well at least I still have Emerald.

As someone from the other side of the globe, I can relate.

Gold was my first, then I went back to Blue. I know exactly what you mean about the not realising we could find out information on the Internet back then lol. I did acquire an official guide for Gold at some point.

This was is amazing videos I remember getting firered at flea market for 11 dollar

Such great memories. I got the pokemon center charizard gba sp and fire red which started off my pokemon obsession. I still have my original game and it’s save file. As well as the gba sp. Only thing different is I changed the screen to an ags 101

Pokémon is love, Pokémon is life.

Early today!!! keep going king, love the vids

You got me getting back into pokemon fire red going to attempt the battle frontier again

I had leafgreen its definitely a good game too and I remember getting an oddish I don't know if you can get vilebloom

Love gens 1-4. Favs gens 3 & 4. 5 is alright. Screw caves and screw modern pokemon

Damn, 20 Years?! I feel so old.. I seriously need to ask you guys whats going on here? Lost touch of the game years ago.. What is this analogue GameBoy device? I thought, its impossible to play the old games or keep the savefiles because of the battery switching.. is there a solution? If yes, im gonna start playing EVERY single game again 😂

Love this

The goat 🐐

Wait I’m like half asleep did an analogue pocket just trade with a real gameboy? Also I freakin love LeafGreen, it was my first ever video game so many amazing memories and I still play it to this day! But I don’t really know what to do in the game anymore.. I wish I could play those games like Berry crusher, dodrio picker, jumpluff jump, but alas I know no one who cares for these games

Hey bro im from Louisiana, if you ever in this area let me know so we can do record mixes. I would love to have your secret base in my game

why dont u try nuzlockes? they gave a very fresh feeling for the older games which ive played a ton and finally burned out

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LETTTTSSSS GOOOO NEW VID
