My friend, the classic Pokemon games will NEVER DIE! Ever. (P.S. I thought the remakes were great.)
|
I find that FR/LG are fairly decent games but they, due to some changes made to the series in the next two gens, are significantly easier and thus in many respects less enjoyable.
|
pokemon were made to battle, and train with for battle, not put frills on and waste time and p for stupid ribbons, i love the oldschool, granted i love playing through hg, ss, lg, and fr, but old school focused on what pokemon was all about.
-admittedly on sapphire, ruby, and emerald i occasionally did contests after i beat the elite 4, but the later gens really take it too far- |
I think people here are letting nostalgia overtake them. R/B were good games, no doubt, but even when I played them as a kid I thought they were flawed in a lot of ways.
|
I actually prefer FR/LG mostly because LG makes me think of Luigi. And he dominates. But also because although the best generation for pokemon invention was Gen. 1, almost all of my favorites were from later generations - Umbreon, Tyranitar, Aggron, and Breloom. However, I do miss the old glitches...and my level 157 snorlax and my level 148 Muk.

I agree with a lot of other posters here in that the new games will never kill the classics.
I mean from a technical standpoint, the HG and SS are better in just about everything. For some reason, however, the old school 2nd gen just seems so much better. For me, the old school shoddy graphics are more appealing than the newer graphics. I was watching my sister play her new SS and the new graphics just didn't feel right for me. I'll probably get HG eventually but it'll never be the same as good ol 2nd gen gold - for me at least. It's too complicated (not that I'm simple minded or anything), but I just liked it more when it was more basic and not as gimmicky or with special abilities etc. :) |

pokemon types and movesets were also annoying and weighted more toward certain types. dragon was a mystery, why were there only 3, why where gust/comet punch/etc normal attacks. The list goes on now that there have been updates but these new versions are a way to play the games of the good ol days in a more streamlined way |
Without FR/LG there would be no HG/SS. Watch your words.
|
Well, we wouldn't have these remakes if it hadn't of been for the orignals.

bouth are great i love em all |
I agree that the new games did fix things, but gold ad silver (the originals) were in my opinion the best gen, i mean, they made moves the types they should have been, they had puzzles that made you think, but were still pretty simple, and the in battle graphics were still pretty good, and if you played type advantage, and attack boosting items (nevermeltice, charcoal, etc.) the gym leaders and even the elite 4 are quite simple to beat. (my 1st time beating the elite 4 i had a lv. 43 Raikou (i used my masterball to cap it), lv.40 Kadabra, lv. 38 Typhlosion, lv.39 lapras, lv. 40 suicune, and lv. 38 pidgeot) well i was playing crystal tho, lol

Pokemon Red will always remain my favorite Pokemon game. I was a little disappointed to find out just how different Pokemon FireRed was from Pokemon Red... -sighs- I guess the added islands messed up the game for me, and the remastered music... I miss the 8-bit tracks from Pokemon Red....such nostalgia, but lucky for me, I can play the original anytime. Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver are ok remakes, but for some reason....they just will not beat the original G&S series, and I believe that alot of people will agree with me. The old school trainers that is.
|
G/S/C will never properly die IMO :3
Even if HGSS was terrible G/S/C would still live on as I know a big group of people who would continue playing the games because the originals kick ass. And same goes for R/B/Y... |
The originals are still really good, so that's understandable.

Killed them, I wouldn't go so far as to say that... but I think the remakes were for the best.
|
I would of liked FR/LG a lot more if they would have stick to the original 150+1 pokemon :(
|
I couldn't play HG for more than 30 minutes straight, and then a friend of mine redirected me to a 17-in-1 Pokemon emulator including all the games before Platinum. I immediately spent the rest of the day playing Crystal and Blue :S
|
My first Pokemon game was Sapphire, so when I got LeafGreen, I didn't have any nostalgia for R/B/Y to compare it to. I eventually did play Blue later, and I lost interest pretty quickly... It just wasn't the same for me. I missed the full color graphics and the music of LeafGreen.
In addition, I did play G/S/C (all three of 'em) due to lack of a Johto remake. I had always wished that they would remake Johto, because I wasn't fond of the old graphics. Needless to say, I was VERY happy when I found out about HG/SS, and I prefer it over G/S/C. I honestly don't think the remakes are intended to replace the originals -- rather, they're intended to introduce the younger generations to the classics with something they won't discard as "too old". It may be a "remake", but I see them as completely different games -- a new experience for new fans. They don't kill anything. |
The classics aren't dead! Dammit, I've got Pokemon Yellow, FireRed, LeafGreen, Gold, SoulSilver, and Crystal so don't you go spoutin off that they're dead!
Seriously though, you can't replace the originals, only remake and update for next generation systems and gamers. I haven't played RBY in AGES so I can't honestly compare them to the remakes but I just beat Crystal(for the 35th time)and I can tell you that HGSS took what made the original GSC awesome and multiplied it several times over. But I still play my good old Gold and Crystal, because they're still good, still working(thank God), and still alive. |

Yeah, I agree with all of this. I have great memories playing my Red version to death when it first came out, but looking back on it, I dunno how I was able to stand the gameplay. Also, how the original Gameboy's screen blurred when you walked around. The originals will always have a place in my childhood memories, but the new gameplay and graphics are what I'm all about now. |
Agreed. FRLG sucked, I hated it. I wanted a gold/silver remake for YEARS, and FINALLY its out
|
I've never got why people hated on FR/LG. I'm doing a monotype challenge right now and I'm on blue. And I keep thinking, "my god, I wish I'd done this on the remakes instead".
I had blue when I was young, so it's not like I don't have nostalgia...but FR/LG is just R/B with better graphics and a few extra, completely optional bits. And the music? R/B music was tinny and annoying, just like most game music for the Gameboy. At least the FR/LG music doesn't make your ears bleed. |
I really liked FR/LG and I had a lot of fun. I still do like Red and Blue, but FR/LG is sort of just a modernized version of it.
|
The Remakes, though are technically much better, will never replace the original red/blue/silver/gold in my heart
