The Gen 1 Remakes

[@dannigro8794]

I’d argue that Fire Red and Leaf Green were remakes of Red Blue and Green while let’s go Pikachu and Eevee were remakes of Yellow. The let’s go series has so many similarities to yellow with a lot added, including the fact you can get Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle from the same trainers you can in the original game.

[@GrandpaMaxGaming]

Poketubers don't understand newer games can be a fan's first entry into the series. I'm sure there are kids out there that appreciated the help system.

[@3_Benny]

@@GrandpaMaxGamingI was one of those kids!!! The game was an awesome entrance into the series.

[@paulwilliams2024]

I agree superb observation

[@paulwilliams2024]

Let’s go pikachu & Eevee are remakes of yellow not red and green . Pokemon fire red and leaf Green are direct remakes to the OG red and blue . I actually had the most fun playing the let’s go pikachu and Eevee Version . Mind you that could be recency bias as it’s been ages since I played fire red and leaf green !

[@Dielit305]

⁠@@GrandpaMaxGaming These aren’t souls game where you literally have to get brainf’d to figure out where to go. Pokemon fr/lg had the best help system. They limited the area until you progressed the main mission, until then just roam around for a “little bit” to figure out where to go and progress the story. I was prolly 9 when I first played fire red. Literally had no trouble, believe it or not I went through the tunnel without flash in my first playthrough. These important but hidden items were the only issues I had. Plus because of the area being limited and relatively small to other games you’ll intentionally search every houses cuz there’s not a lot. Unlike emerald fr is pretty small. And only times u’ll find the directions being difficult is at the post game. In let’s go pika you are feeded with every single thing. You’re just not seeing his point cuz you like let’s go pikachu more.

Evoluting pokemon back then: level up your pokemon to a certain level Evolving pokemon nowadays: have a Gastly on your team on a foggy route while having 2 rare candies in your bag on a Wednesday afternoon

[@Lucrei.]

I feel like that really started to become a problem around Sun & Moon era - and I like those games, but it's one of its flaws

[@MarvinPowell1]

The worst ones are: Hold the DS/3DS upside down while leveling up, get 4 critical hits in a row, lose 49 HP and then travel under a stone bridge, raise Feebas' Beauty stat to at least 170 out of 200 (and you can't reset its stats, in case you don't get it high enough), defeat three Bisharps that lead a group of Pawniards, take 1000 steps using the Let's Go feature, use Rage Punch 20 times (until your Primeape literally dies of a heart attack,) and so on. And I thought needing to have perfectly balanced Attack and Defense stats is gen 2 to get Hitmontop was a huge pain in the ass...

[@RenSako]

@@MarvinPowell1Hitmontop is a bigger pain in the ass than any of those lol.

[@absolutezerochill2700]

​@@MarvinPowell1I liked flipping your handheld upside down or shaking your pokemon to get an Alcremie. And I KIND of like how you really have to take the ugly duckling that is feebas and then take it on this journey to make it beautiful. Gen 3 berries kinda hurt to get and blend tho

[@lakerfan2874]

​@@RenSako Hitmontop was solely on RNG. The others are solely on the player. Try the friendship level up on the Eevee you get from Bill in Gen 2 and find out that it's a level 42 Eevee still until you get into Kanto, get the Rare Candy from the fan club president in Vermillion, go to Cerulean, fight the trainers on Route 25, and then use the Rare Candy to get the Protein on said route to get an Umbreon, when you really wanted Espeon because the in-game clock mimics the IRL clock except on daylight savings event twice per year. Yes, I even beat the Elite Four while having a Dunsparce, Stantler, Ampharos, Feraligatr, and Lugia on my team with that same Eevee which was my second most powerful monster behind Lugia, who's now a level 46/47. The others are now getting in to the low 40s. It's worst in Red and Blue with Dratini being a super low level in the Safari Zone and to have a Dragonite is level 55. I'm still not there yet since the highest level in Victory Road is in the high 30s I believe.

[@vatsalparmar5740]

Let's go may be a babysitting simulator, but if there's one thing I've thoroughly enjoyed in the game, it is the soundtrack. The orchestral style still maintains the chiptune charm of the original. Love it to bits.

To some degree, it’s great when we can get together and find what we agree on. And everyone should have the liberty to worship as they please. But we also must be aware that interfaith prayer services aren’t necessarily a good thing. It’s one thing to have interdenominational services in which Christians set aside minor differences as denominations to come together and worship.

It teaches that Jesus is the only way to God, that God is personal, and that He can be known in a personal way. If we’re going to proclaim the true gospel, then we must tell people this.

Unless you believe that I am God incarnate, that I am the Lord God, and that I am the only way to God, then you will die in your sins.” The Bible teaches that Jesus was God in human form who died for the sins of the world. It teaches that Jesus is the only way to God, that God is personal, and that He can be known in a personal way. If we’re going to proclaim the true gospel, then we must tell people this. It’s a divisive point with some. But it is one thing that we cannot compromise on as Christians. Yet if we believe that all religions teach the same thing, then we obviously haven’t considered what they actually teach. Today many people say they don’t really believe in any one religion, and they’ve found their own faith. But this, along with the seismic shifts that are happening in our culture, is a sign of the last days.

Personally I loved the Teachy TV. By the time I had gotten my copy of Leaf Green I think I had already played Blue, Yellow, Ruby, and Colosseum. I knew Pokemon stuff. But it was still nice getting really in-depth explanations of stuff. I wonder now how much of my knowledge of the games was learned naturally or through that. I would rather have it and not need it, but I'm also a sucker for long drawn out explanations within the games themselves, especially when they're not forced onto the player.

Not One and the Same That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be, you will die in your sins. -John 8:24 According to the Bible, there will be a belief system during the tribulation period that everyone in the world will embrace. This, of course, will exclude those who come to faith in Christ during the Great Tribulation. Though the church will have been raptured, God will continue to be at work. People will become Christians during this time, but it will be a bleak scenario. God will raise up His representatives, two powerful witnesses. He also will send angels through the heavens who will proclaim the everlasting gospel. And He will raise up 144,000 messianic Jews to take the gospel around the globe. People will come to faith, but it will be a very hard time to be a Christian, and many believers will be martyred. And the one-world religious system that most people will buy into perhaps will be a version of the spirituality movement that we’re seeing today. For instance, in the days following 9/11, a lot of prayer services took place, including a televised interfaith service at Yankee Stadium. Bette Midler sang, and Oprah Winfrey, among others, spoke. To some degree, it’s great when we can get together and find what we agree on. And everyone should have the liberty to worship as they please.

Loved this video!!! HOWEVER, I have the perfect perspective on how to compare these games. I was 9 when Pokemon Blue/Red came out. Brick Gameboy with 4 AA batteries. I spent months beating that game. I was dumb enough to use my master ball on a HORSEA! The fact that there was a video game you could hold in your hand gave you the motivation to beat it. A game in your hand that you could save and pick back up on was insane at that time. We talked to every NPC and checked every corner of the game because we didn’t have KZbin, we didn’t have the internet widely available and certainly there weren’t sites available for kids to look up stuff. ANYHOW, fast forward to this year. My 8 year old has a cell phone (Hold your comments) and plays Pokémon go with me. The concept of the enclosing circle on Pokémon go to then play Let’s Go Pikachu was huge. Kids today have to have the immediate satisfaction. You have to hand hold them else they lose interest. Complain and gripe all we want but that’s the way it is. They can look up a full fledge movie in seconds and we had to plan and set the VCR at a certain time to record a tv show. Times are different. Kids are different. There’s no way in hell I could get my son to play my old Red and blue versions without my help every step of the way. But with Let’s Go Pikachu. He’s gotten 3 gym badges with minimal help. Other than a reminder to level up his Pokémon (Which we all hated that grind) he does everything the game pushes him towards. Anyhow. This was very fun. Loved the video. I get to love/hate buying Pokémon cards for an 8 year old the way my parents did when I was 9 and it came to America. Really fun to see all this come full circle.

I think since they included the Alolan variants of pokémon in Let's Go they might aswell have included the later gen evolutions such as Scizor, Umbreon and so on. I also really missed having abilities, more so then held items. I mean Mega Zard Y without Drought is kind of odd. I did really enjoy the game though, to me it felt more like a remake of Yellow rather than Red/Blue.

[@bent.5062]

that's because it was a remake of Yellow. even the starters are the same! moreover, i thought it was wise to ditch held items and abilities for Let's Go, give the scope of games. they were for people new to the franchise who wanted a fun and easy place to begin. plus, it's super in-line with the OG gen 1 mechanics: just moves and battle items. it was a clever way to simplify battle mechanics while still anchoring the remakes to their source

And had the whole rest of the region to explore with them! I clearly remember taking on Pryce with my Machoke and Feraligatr not long after, and having an amazing time :) But! Ofc.

I seriously can't understand why it was necessary to so thoroughly disney-fy the rival character. Gen II was literally both the second *and last* time you actually have a 'rival.' Every subsequent game just had some dopey semi-sidekick who's just your friend who you, for some reason, feel the need to crush in battles over and over again throughout the game. Why? Kids aren't able to handle an actual rival now? Even as G-rated as they were? The difficulty argument is a separate issue and I can at least see both sides of it, even if kids today have infinitely more resources to help them figure out how to progress than we did with RBY and we all somehow managed just fine, but Pokemon's story and characters were always perfectly kid-friendly. Why did they need so much dumbing down?

Thanks for these videos.

On that note, in some of your vids you made references to the N64. Can you imagine playing Blue version as your first RPG, then getting an N64 for Christmas and playing Ocarina of Time? The graphics where amazing, granted it's handheld vs. console but as a child I could only fantasize about Pokemon with Ocarina of Time 3D graphics. After watching the first Pokemon movies in theaters and crying my 12 year old eyeballs out, I got Pokemon Colosseum which was such a disappointment despite being able to see my Gen 1 squad in 3D, it wasn't a real game adventure. Graphics on Consoles and even handhelds improved exponentially the following decade before peaking at the PS4 generation. Still no 3D pokemon...Ocarina of Time had a gorgeous remake in the 3DS, which I never owned growing out of handhelds as a big boy with real consoles and PC builds by then. Yet, the first 3D pokemon looked like ass, inferior to 1996's Ocarina of Time full of ALIASING and cell shading cop outs. I played BOTW on the Wii U I had bought just for BOTW. I had no use for the Switch my sis gave me for Xmas...then I saw Let's Go which I thought was a spin off for kids like Pokemon Snap. Wow, my 1996 childhood dream FINALLY realized in 2018! You know how I'm right? Because as I googled "first 3D pokemon game" for this comment and all the images used for the articles or YT thumbs were from Let's Go. Don't get me wrong, GameFreak is still a victim of success in this game, never having to be bought out or restructured the way Tomb Raider benefited after the Angel of Darkness flop, GameFreak didn't have to improve and their attempts at modern 3D games is pathetic. Yet despite the crappy animation and still using Cell Shading cop outs, it was a 3D experience of the First Gen games after getting cheated with Colosseum. IT FUCKING LOOKS BETTER THAN ARCEUS. I just wanted to include that to this discourse.

Let's Go was dumbed down for the children because it was based off of Pokemon Go, which has TONS of casual masses and children playing it, and they lowered the age requirement from E10+ to E 3+, so they had to remove complicated mechanics in order for ESRB to rate it as low as Nintendo wanted them to.

I’ve since played several of the older games, so I understand the criticisms, but for me, Let’s Go Pikachu was a lot of fun and was extremely intriguing. It got me hooked on the series instantly. And no, it’s not a hard game by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s not so easy that I felt like I was being handheld either. It’s just a fun, maybe slightly more casual experience.

I think if FR/LG had the physical special split, they'd be the perfect pokemon games. R/S/E following close behind. I love the graphics and overall vibe of gen 3. Just needs phys/spec split to make more pokemon and moves viable.

[@Gojira-ri6rj]

better movesets would be appreciated too

[@savvytravvi8660]

The babying the player is usually a totally valid criticism, but here you're talking about a bunch of optional things that the player has to go out of their way to access (other than the initial Oak fight). I opened Teachy TV, saw that it was how the game handled the tutorial - optional, similar to Elden Ring - and decided to ignore it completely.

Back then me and friends couldn’t find HM:flash location, so we used a poisoned pkmn to pass through rock tunnel 😂

[@robertlupa8273]

Pokemon Leaf Green was the game that introduced me to Pokemon, but not in the way you'd expect. You see, I used to watch two Leaf Green let's plays _(Polish let's plays, no less)_ as a kid and it wasn't until a few years later when I figured out how to use emulators. Even then, I haven't beaten any game before my "Pokè-craze" came back way later and I decided to play Emerald. While I find it hard to consider FRLG fun nowdays due to the overexposure I had as a kid, they still hold a special place in my heart. And so does Wirgliusz. Never forget Archibald the Raticate. Never forget his horrible mispronounciation of Silph Scope. Never forget him trying (and failing) to catch Entei. Never forget his absurdly long hunt for Lugia. Never forget the way he hyped up Deoxys. Never forget his "genwunnerism" ;) You shall not be forgotten.

[@mattybutler1985]

So, most of what was said here, I agree with. But I have complaints. Several, in fact. I don't have a problem with the Teachy TV and HELP Menu. They're completely optional tutorials the player can browse if they want but you can 100% the game without ever reading them. FireRed and LeafGreen and Let's Go feel almost TOO faithful to the original games, but in different ways. FRLG kept all the advancements from Gen 2 and 3, but not only are you not allowed to use Crobat and Blissey, but if you meet the requirements for their evolutions, the game shows an evolution animation... but they don't evolve. And won't evolve until you get the National PokeDex. Which, to me, completely defeats the point of being remakes, being able to use Pokemon you couldn't in the original. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and to a lesser extent HeartGold and SoulSilver - separate rant entirely - did not do this, and were not stingy with their evolutions. Why troll the player when you could just either not show a fake evolution animation, or better yet let me evolve Golbat and Chansey into Crobat and Blissey? They're the only two Pokemon you can access during the main game besides Eevee that got Gen 2 evolutions, and Golbat's the only one you're going to get without grinding the Safari Zone for hours, what's the harm? And it wouldn't have killed them to implement a Day/Night cycle so you could get Espeon or Umbreon either, or just made them Sun Stone/Moon Stone evolutions. Let's Go, in addition to everything above with not including Gen 2 evolutions, removed held items and abilities as mentioned, which had an additional side effect: It made including Mega Evolution completely pointless. For nearly every one of the included Pokemon that got a Mega Evolution, the biggest change they made was a new Ability that completely changed its usage, the Charizard forms for example. Mega Charizard X losing Tough Claws was a double-edged sword, on the one hand it made its mixed attacking stats actually usable but on the other hand makes its Physical moves considerably weaker, while Mega Charizard Y losing Drought - and weather being removed as a whole - defeats the purpose of its inclusion entirely, and it's just a normal Charizard with higher stats. The best thing I can say about Let's Go's Megas is that you can use either of Charizard and Mewtwo's Megas without having to switch stones between battles. They could've very easily implemented Hidden Abilities using the Catch Combo system and made lots of Pokemon much more useful than they would otherwise be, with or without the overpowered candy system. The Alola Forms are an awesome addition but they worked... weird. In addition to losing their Abilities, they also lost any moves that might be useful to them. Marowak and Dugtrio have no Physical Ghost or Steel moves to use, so they have to use Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon for Ghost and Steel STAB, and Marowak loses the STAB from its Ground-type moves. Same with Sandslash. Ninetales, Raichu and Exeggutor don't have this problem and keep their good moves just fine and don't suffer from losing their Abilities, making them some of the best Pokemon in the game. They can even be Shiny. Which begs the question, why Alola Forms, and not Gen 2 evolutions? They could've literally not included any new Pokemon besides those, and I'd be completely happy. These were also the games to introduce the permanent EXP Share and I will forever hate it for that. These are such... bizarre choices that make these games very frustrating, no matter how good or bad they might be otherwise. I like them, they're fun games, but they feel so short of their potential.

[@heyitsyeh]

I got stuck in Cerulean/Vermillion city with a Blastoise because I didn’t know how to use Cut. The trees at the time were not directly interactable in the overworld

[@thecringeking873]

REALLY COOL VIDEO, and I’m sure they the gen 1 team naming convention is based off silly insult names

[@adrianaxo1]

Leaf Green was my entry way to the pokemon series back in the early 2000s. The help systems were appreciated as a kid who would get stuck sometimes 😅

[@CheeseOfMasters]

Rock tunnel impossible to go through without flash? That shit literally made my childhood.

[@hilliard665]

Im playing thru fore red at the moment, played it before but never tried to fill its pokedex, and im guessing mew glitch doesnt work in it 😂 idk how ima fill the poedex

[@PURPLE_G0J0]

Technically they’ve been remade when they made Blue version, then again in GSC, there’s also the Gen 3 remakes, the Gen 4 HGSS postgames, and Let’s Go. We’ve been to Kanto a grand total of 5 times

[@PURPLE_G0J0]

Also Ditto is technically Mewtwo and Mewtwo is technically Mewthree

[@countdrake4576]

My favorite Pokemon evolutionary line is Electrode's.

[@WhoIsCalli]

Great analysis. Thank you

[@AlexBaldwinFTW]

Great video, subscribed

[@TheMisterbobman]

The hand holding in firered/leafgreen was so much better than in modern games because you could chose to not use it

[@saviorselfX29]

Agreed. Hand-holding is fine as long as experienced players have the ability to skip it.

[@elcocho1568]

FRLG wasn’t easy just because it told you how the game works. I’d rather go that route than what we have right now, hand holding, exp. all, literally telling you what move is super effective while battling, etc.

[@Gojira-ri6rj]

personally im fine with the latter two (i highly prefer the exp all over the regular exp share) but the hand holding is very annoying

[@XxDannySniperZXxGOB]

Red and Blue battle system’s quirks is ironically what makes it fun

[@NiGHTSnoob]

Yeah, I feel like Fire Red and Leaf Green are a step down precisely because they don't break quite as easily as the originals. The early TMs are less devastating, and the high crit moves are much more balanced which makes the mid and late game a huge slog. Kanto was just kind of built and paced around the mechanics being so lopsided. It makes tons of QoL changes, but the pacing just feels off.

[@tamerkoh]

@@NiGHTSnoob I didn't have that issue myself...I played both of course, and played the original Red before FireRed. But the game being so much smoother to play (not just cause of 60 FPS, but also running shoes and other QoL), and without the literally broken mechanics just made it feel like more of a fun challenge to me. Cause of the original GEn 1's badge boost glitch, we were always OP and constantly cheating, without even trying to, due to any stat changes applying another Badge Boost. FireRed is the first time we got to play through Kanto without an insane advantage over the opposing trainers.

[@lukasblenk3684]

If i remember correctly you can't rematch the legendary birds but they will appear in wild battles int the area where you matched them, if you missed them. I remember failing zaptos and i catched it after i ran around for 2 hours in the power plant.

[@erikurizita6702]

*Sees nodtalgia, great work, great research, top notch editing.* .... You earned one sub bro. I know, its a might power, a single sub, but one day when you become big, youll remember my comment, and grow closer to your even vaster auidience by then.

[@phenomenonnarutokun]

I need someone to help me find the song 13:39 it's been driving me NUTS I've spent an hour trying to find the name.

[@jikosauce]

Nice reviews! Id like a review video like this of Yellow. I also cant get over how you called him Cadaver😅

[@garrettm5162]

I remember making it through rock tunnel without flash...traumatized me as a kid. When I finally exited the cave, it was like a breath of fresh air.

[@ealing456]

In depth video. Really enjoyed this.

[@94jmbottaro]

Lets go was a great game. I was a bit disappointed with the catching mechanics, but everything else was amazing. The fact they didnt keep those crisp visuals for sword shield and scarlett violett was really a step down

[@Gojira-ri6rj]

I love Let’s Go’s art style but it wouldn’t fit a relatively massive region like Galar. I think Sword and Shield’s artstyle was fitting enough for the region

[@chefgrizz6284]

Great video! But dark types? In FRLg?

[@TonyStarkCLC]

I'm proud to leave Kanto at FR/LG because I had a bad feeling about let's go.

[@Koijn2K]

Your naming convention was def "My best friends nicknames"

[@joejohnson8966]

4:10 Didn't know that about Ditto.

[@nanoscapehd6179]

I know everyone complained about let’s go, but I WISH Brilliant Diamond and Shinning Pearl had the same style

[@MegaSpideyman]

Yeah, it would probably look a lot better. I think Sword and Shield probably look the best, but Let's Go are definitely a visual improvement on the previous versions.

[@natalimoina]

Yup, Let's go is the best the pokemon games have ever looked. If only they continued to use this beautiful style.

[@ronalddavis8247]

O, I would like to see Gen 3 in the Let's Go style but with wild pokemon battles. Be nice to walk with Treecko. Also spread the map out more so it feels more vast.

[@caesertullo1824]

Imma let you finish but sun and moon's tutorial is the worst. replayablilty really gets hurt when every 2 steps you get a text box. And soft resetting for a shiny or a female is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

[@Jamseth_Ingramious]

As far as the champion goes, the early pokemon games (gens 1-5) intentionally have the champion be quite a few levels higher than what you're expected to be at. This is to make the battle more difficult, not to require grinding.

[@guns6103]

I want a proper gen 1 fire red or a remastered it was my 1st, I want to play it on the newer console

[@ronalddavis8247]

O, I would like to see Gen 3 in the Let's Go style but with wild pokemon battles. Be nice to walk with Treecko. Also spread the map out more so it feels more vast.

[@theccarbiter]

Don’t diss the blue help screen in fire red leaf green, the type matchup and stat explanation were mad useful as a kid. Like dude “this game contains optional explanations of game mechanics and tutorials for the player to explore at their own volition, and that’s terrible” is such a brain dead take
