Star Pit holy shit I Played silver these days and when I found a ditto and couldnt store it I got so mad I named my boxes like swears, lol the maturity
ikr? That’s what I love about FR&LG. Oh don’t forget when you are facing the three trio birds, The annoying part is when it says you missed the target one throwing a poke balls. But now it doesn’t say that whenever you put the trio birds to sleep or not in FR&LG 👍
Skeletal Charizard, your RU-vid Profile is the old mega charizard x and mega charizard y. Thats how they were meant to look like but then nintendo wanted to change it.
Uh, one thing you omitted, the fact you can't evolve your Pokemon further to their Johto evolutions if they have them UNTIL YOU HAVE GOTTEN THE NATIONAL DEX. Which is logically really stupid.
The Gen 1 region, music and original 151, combined with the visuals, gameplay, and presentation of gen 3 was basically a match made in heaven.... which is probably why FRLG are still my favourite Pokemon games to this day.
First, Mt. Chimney is in Hoenn. The volcano in these games is Mt. Ember. Second, I'm currently replaying LG, and I just managed to get myself a Venusaur just before Lavender Town. This was possible because I only used three Pokémon until that point, and Rock Tunnel was swarming with Hikers. But now my full team is coming together, just one more remaining.
Saskia Viking I actually finished the main game just last Sunday. I'm currently starting the post game. My team is Venusaur, Pidgeot, Raichu, Ninetales, Vaporeon, and Rhydon.
It kinda annoys me how he keeps saying the protagonists are 10, when literally none of them are 10. Red/Green as well as Ethan/Lyra is 11, and May/Brendan is 12. And some of the later Protags are even older then that.
I started with blue version. Man that was the best in my opinion and I feel blessed that it was my first because for it’s time it was truly a masterpiece, even with the glitches. I recently did a playthrough and yeah having to change boxes and barely being able to hold supplies is annoying but it forces you to be smarter and makes the game more challenging in a way. The 90s were so amazing, a much simpler time and the vibe from red/blue version is unbeatable.
Wasn't Charmander literally given metal claw just so it wasn't screwed against Brock Also people tend to chastise Chikorita users for playing 'hard mode', what's with the double standards?
Pokemon Red was my first Pokemon game, and I'm with Stan - playing through it now is painful. Just not a fun experience at all. I can't stand it. Great at the time, but they have aged absolutely terribly. Thank goodness for FR and LG, I'm in love with the remakes and still play them today (have over 200 hours in Leaf Green)
Definitely a great game & so much better than the original Gen. 1 game & personally the best Gen. 3 game for me. Firered and Leafgreen just became one of my favorite Pokemon games along with Gold, Silver and Crystal + Heartgold and Soulsilver & Black and White + Black and White 2.
I'm very anti-change lol I'm especially picky when it comes to things I love. I grew up with Red, and picked up FireRed/LeafGreen a while back, and it felt like coming home. They did a fantastic job on them. I'm pretty meh on the endgame stuff, but the look is incredible, and in spite of the annoying handholding, overall it's just so much better. I'm not easy to please. I don't even like Gen 2 very much because the new pokemon don't seem right (though amphy is great), let alone the other gens. But they did so much right with it. I'm so grateful I got a chance to play these games, and I"m so grateful they made them the way they did. They could have been a LOT worse, that's for damn sure. The originals are just kinda hard to play after the updates to fr/lg, as they make things so much nicer. Love fr/lg. Love it love it love it.
Based, I feel like Im the only boomer who never had time to bother learning anything after the orginial 151, even when I was a kid and gold/silver first came out.
Wow that was fast! I only remember it being like 1 or 2 weeks after the gen 3 review and the fackt that you have to play through the game write a script and you even made a collab with that other guy. I'm not a youtuber so maybey (sorry for the spelling) its more easy than it sounds but this is still an amazing review.
i loved FR/LG, just wished they were able to finish the rest of the sevii islands before the time constraints. overall one of my favorite remakes (HG/SS being the best)
....It's not, though. That's not how review scales work. A 1 is a terrible game and a 10 is a perfect game; therefore, assuming we're speaking strictly in terms on integers, a 5 is a completely average game. I have no idea why so many people seem to completely misunderstand this.
Seamichu Nope. 0-59% F, 60-69% D, 70-79% C, 80-89% B, 90-100% A. Though I've heard it's different in different places, this is the only grading scale I've ever known
I also started with Gen 2. I was a Pokefan during Gen 1 with the anime, cards, and various other merchandise but the only Pokemon games I played back then where Pokemon Stadium 1 and Pokemon Snap because being a little kid I wasn't able to afford a Gameboy or convince my parents to get me one. However, my parents surprised me on my birthday with a new Gameboy Color and Pokemon Gold. It was after Gold that I saved up money and went back to Yellow and Red, and just like Gold I played the heck out of those games despite being late to the party. They may not be my favourite games or generation but I still love those games and have respect for those who grew up playing the Gen 1 games.
I put Black and White & Black and White 2 in the top 3 along with Gold, Silver and Crystal; along with it's remake Heartgold and Soulsilver & Firered and Leafgreen. I'm sorry, but I love Black and White and Black and White 2 so much.
Red was a very hard game, my first time I barely beat it and quit after I beat blue. I couldn’t put down gold though, I played it until I maxed the play time and ran the battery dry. I had enough Kanto from gen 2. It wasn’t until after I lost my sapphire version that I even considered getting fire red. The game is still slow after surge, and then too fast after you get the silph scope, but the modern (at the time) graphics and mechanics made it an enjoyable game. Though I still feel the only reason I even like red and blue and their remakes today are because I’ve played through them so many times in my life and I know most of the things there is to know about them so I never blindly stumble through the whole game anymore. 5 year old me could only keep track of so many things
I think you should’ve talked more about the Sevii islands. I’m not sure if you mentioned it but once you unlock islands 4-7 you can find Pokémon from gen 2 on those islands and if I remember correctly there’s a couple more puzzles and things to do. I just feel you glossed over the best part of these games
I honestly love fire red so much that I’ve dedicated a lot of time recently to getting the entire national dex finished on there. It’s been quite the journey but I’m at 362/386, I can really only get realistically 381 cause I’ll need to buy gale of darkness but luckily all the remaining mons I need are on that game. I may eventually put everything over onto my emerald copy to finally finish the battle frontier and shiny hunt through breeding more efficiently but I’ll always have the main mons on fire red. My OG game
i'm not a genwunner nor gen 1 purist, but i never bother to use or learn about berries because i think potions are more than enough to help me through my journey.
As a kid I always thought I had to catch a chansey and make it go through its evolution animation phase to unlock the sevii islands.I later found out as a teen it was actually because I always strive to catch them all as a kid I always hit the 60 species caught marker each playthrough without noticing. But I remember the first time I played through the game and thinking my game was broken because chansey and Golbat didn't evolve through my playthrough lol also I wish pokemon would use this pokedex again. This was by far my favorite pokedex.
Her name is not Leaf! It's Blue or Green whichever you don't call the rival do to regional stuff. She originated in the Manga, and calling her something else is just stupid.
The only thing I didn't like about the remakes is precisely that they forced you to capture a certain amount of Pokémon to be able to continue and unlock the post-game. Probably 60 Pokémon won't seem a lot to most people but for me it really felt like a chore :/
You need to go and play the gen 1 Pokemon Blue and Red. I played those games (Blue version) and loved it. You're missing out playing only Fire Red, Leaf Green. You'll never know the true differences until you experience the gen 1 games. Yeah FR, LG are better in terms of updates, etc. but you'll never know the real origins from the beginning. I suggest you buy the gen 1 system with the games, experience it, then make another video; being less bias/prejudice. Blue and Red are the all time sellers when it comes to Pokemon games despite its old technology.
your just more competent because I have had several moments where my whole team except for one is fainted right before the next town even though I always have good old Bulby.
If you are a 'Kanto purist', it's better to stick to the original games. I would honestly recommend Pokemon Yellow on the Game Boy Color over these remakes for the definitive Kanto experience. The remakes are basically shoehorning Gen III (including it's weaknesses...) into Kanto, rather then being the definitive experience. That's what Yellow, Crystal and Emerald are there for. Besides, who wants a Kanto experience you can't exploit glitches for maximum fun!
Gen 1 is 10/10 for it's time and innovation. Not to mention spawning the entire Pokemon series. Yeah it's buggy and dated and nearly unplayable by today's standards, do 6/10 is generous *IF* it were released today. But it was released in 1998
This was the cleanest Pokémon game I had ever played. Even when compared to the newer games, this game just nails the user friendly simplicity that works at first glance whether you played it before it not. Solid story, solid villains (unlike team aqua), solid rivals, interesting Pokémon that makes catching them fun and makes you WANT to see the rest! The newer Pokémon in later games just..don’t do it for me. Why would I wanna catch a Pokémon that resembles a set of car keys or something 🙄
@@Chronos774 there’s no more sense of “wonder” in any of the newer games imo. They just try to hard to be something it already is, which makes the games have an opposite effect on the Og players. Or at least to me I’m still upset they never expanded on the whole shadow Pokémon thing in ANY other game except the GC games
i'm playing thru leaf green for the first time and right away i disagree with what you said about 'better music'. imo for blue/silver is so much better the compositions really shine. with leaf green it all sounds flat and weak
Personally Fire Red is my favorite Pokémon game. Call me a genwunner, I don't give a crap. It's kinda true anyway. I do love G3. Sapphire is my second favorite, and I'm still trying to find time to play Gold and Silver.
Wait...this is a review? There isn't even a score at the end or any sort of scoring system along the way. Also, what was the point of the collaboration with the other random RU-vidr? He didn't even add anything to the video. I would highly recommend doing this video over again and doing it correctly. This video isn't even a review, it is more of a showcase of gameplay and brief mentions of the story.
Really not the biggest fan of Gen 1 my first pokemon game was Ruby but i have played Leaf green and fire red but never the original but this Review was great
I like Firered and Leafgreen more than Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald honestly. I'm not a fan of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Nothing bad about it. But nothing great about it either.
Genwunners are a scourge. But we'll let them live as long as they admit that those games were broken and don't hold up and that Crystal is superior in every way.
I had gotten both these games when they were new but didn't get the wireless adapter with either, but that might of just been a Canada thing? Also I'm surprised you didn't mention the glitch where if one of the legendary dogs uses roar they're gone forever, that happened to me and I was very upset. But never the less a fantastic review and video as always!
