I'm not sure if this in the right section.

Well anyway, in HG/SS they show every character that was in the past g/s/c games and even revamped and renamed some characters like Red has his FireRed sprite and Green has his real name finally, but it makes me wonder why they didn't include the girl that you can choose in FR/LG?. Even though she wasn't in the originals, it wouldn't hurt to have her in the game as well.

They added kotone because now you can choose from boy or girl, so why not also battle the female from FR/LG?

I don't know about you but it would've been cool if you fought her also at the entrance of Mt. Silver as a warm-up for Red but her pokemon being at around lvl 75ish and also giving her a Blastoise instead of Green(which makes me wonder why he doesn't have it in HG/SS).


Well anyways your thoughts?
I haven't read the latest updates of the game so please no flaming towards my opinions ^^;

Blue should have been in the remakes. She's never mentioned much in the games...
You know what? Personally I really hate Kotone, she's fugly. No joke. They should have brought back Kris somewhere in the game if you can't play as her as well.:/

O.K guys, does this girl ring a bell?



This is as close to Blue as were gonna get.

And we already have the female role in the game (Kotone).

So suck it up, princesses.

This is a G/S/C remake, not another R/B/Y remake.

If you want to see Blue, play FR/LG.

Urgh.

This is the one thing that annoyed me the most about HG/SS. The fact that they did not include Leaf, who in my opinion is one of the most underrated female protagonists I've seen in Pokémon. To me it would have made sense that if you were to have played as Kotone, then at the peak of Mt. Silver you would be battling against the female Kanto heroine. But it really puzzles me just why they didn't add her at all; they might have tried to stick to the traditional layout of the predecessor games, which doesn't make too much sense to me since there's been quite a few changes here and there that brought it beyond the point of keeping it traditional.

It's because RED's team is based off of a possible Yellow-version team where he has a Pikachu and all three starters (along with one Snorlax found along the way to his championship and a Lapras given to him at Silph Co.). This means that Blue (rival, not female) never got one of the Kanto starters, and instead got an Eevee which he obviously stopped using between his defeat at the League and his time as a Gym Leader.

I absolutely love Leaf, just throwing that out there.
But in all seriousness, Red is the original trainer, and Leaf was kind of just thrown into FR/LG to have a female playable character in the games. Red and Leaf never even bump into each other during FR/LG. Simply put, there's no reason for her to be in Mt. Silver.

Yes it is true that Red's team resembles more now of Ash Ketchum's party back when he just won the Orange Island cup except that his starters are all fully evolved in this one.

I made a mistake I looked back at the old GBA games and Green/Gary doesn't have blastoise I thought he had it ^^;

Still though I mean they added so many new features it would've been cool to at least battle(doesnt have to be Mt. Silver it could be pallet town or a secret cave like how they introduced Giovanni in HG/SS like a special event).

I was looking at her bio and Leaf/Blue does have a pretty good team: Wigglytuff, Clefaible, even a Ditto.

...Ya'know, they could have placed one of them in each game. Like you fight Red in Heartgold, and Blue(or Leaf whichever you prefer,) in Soulsilver. That, would have been awesome.

However placing Red in one version and Leaf in the next would only subside which game players would purchase. Meaning, one game could be purchased more than the other leavnig Nintendo and Game Freak short on income after spending over enough to include two versions like they traditionally do. Yes, they do version exclusives for Pokémon, however in the case of a main character needing to be defeated at the end could leave a different mark on the games.

As for the counter female to Red from FRLG, I think her inclusions would have been quite beneficial. Whether they replace her over Red depending on if you choose Kotone as your character or not, or simply including her in some part of the game. It would have added something more to what is already given.

...what the Christ? Do you really think Red is a rapist or do you just have a sick mind?

Anyway, I wouldn't mind Leaf being in the game somewhere else. Come to think of it, I'd rather have Leaf in where Red is currently, while Red be moved somewhere without hail.

Maybe they should have done this:

If you are playing as the boy (Gold/Jimmy/Hikibi), you face Red on Mt, Silver, if you are the girl (Soul/Kotone), you face Blue/Green/Leaf/whatever the heck her name is..........

Have you ever read the manga? Red isnt even close to a rapist, plus are you a pedo? I mean hell there 10 and 13 (Even though they look more like 15-18). Also I agree with most previous comments, though I think that Blue/Green should have been somewhere in Kanto, maybe in Pallet Town or something.

It would have made sense to put her in there since it's meant to be a sequel to FrLg as well as a remake of HgSs. I mean I'm not going to boycott the game or anything just because Blue isn't in there, but it would have been nice for her (as well as Kris) to make a cameo appearance and possibly be battlable. Oh well, maybe in another game they'll make a cameo.

lulz i like the trolls. :3

But no, even though I like Leaf's character design, she isn't necessary at all and girls would just be dumber to beat up. :< It's a G/S remake anywho... I don't know, a girl champion was enough for me. :P

Clearly its not a fully 'remake' but it does take place in Johto and Kanto in which happened in G/S with so many new features. And the reason that Blue wasn't in G/S is because FR/LG were made later, crystal introduced the gender options.

For a kick-off, she is named Blue in the manga. In the games, she is named Leaf. Since they are two seperate canon, they are not the same character. I'd just like to say that this annoys me before I get to the point. People all over the place moan about the absence of a certain Pokémon on Red's team because he had it in the manga, or Ash had it in the anime. They are not the same characters in any way, shape or form. Why is it so difficult for people to understand?

Anyway, I do like Leaf as a character, but I do believe the games follow a canon. Hence, HG/SS is played from the point of view that they happen after the events of FireRed. Thus, she never would have existed if Red was the main character.

I admit, it would perhaps have added a new dimension to the games if she was included, but it doesn't make a difference that she isn't there.

It might be due to the placing of her as a character - she appeared as an alternative character in FR/LG, solely because by then they had the male/female choice for the player become the norm, ever since Crystal. She was essentially put in because they kinda 'had' to (it would seem odd if suddenly they stuck so much to RBY in the remake of it to not allow the player to choose their gender, which may have... 'offended' some players), so that may explain the fact they don't really like to use her. (And possibly the same of Krys/Marina/whatever-people-call-her-now - she was inserted in Crystal, not GSC, just as an extra feature in the middle of the generation).

That, and perhaps they felt adding her in along with Red, or even outright replacing her depending on the character you choose would have taken away from Red, who was in GSC *the* final boss, the guy everyone wanted to get up to - they certainly seemed to show that, IMO, by keeping in, and even going with the old-style pre-battle animation of the pixelated Pokeball appearing before it cut to the battle...

But whatever the reason/s, it's been decided. Which may be a pity, especially for the fans of her, but ultimately I can't say I miss her too much, myself, nor do I feel that it's wrong that she is missing from the GSC remakes, even if they added some new features - overall they've kept pretty loyal with GSC, so I can't say I'm surprised they stuck to Red from GSC.

Now that I think more into it, Leaf's missing appearance, or in this case unneeded appearance may have been the cause of that she was only the female counterpart to Red. So having Red and Leaf within the game might have been a bit sided as they are the same characters, but counterparts of one another as some have stressed upon earlier.

Yes, it would have been a cool twist to things depending on how she was implemented within the game, but nothing has changed about the game having her not in it. So, whether she was in or not, no difference has been made thus far.

I think it would be kinda cool if she was in the game, but I don't really care that much. It wouldn't follow the original game at all though..

Less than that, I highly doubt Red bangs 10 year olds.xD;


Not all remakes are 100% fully a remake. Like what Karasuma said, there are some things they left out like Kris not being the female protaganist in the remakes, and Giovanni wasn't present in the G/S FR/LG games.
I'm going to a number of things:
1. I'm sorry for what I said. I was sick and in a bad mood and I took it out on you.
2. That message was deleted, only pointing out that what I said was out of line.
3. You're right, there not all 100% remakes.
4. Adding Kris would take away the significance of what Crystal did for the pokemon world: having the first female playable character.
5. Giovanni is in there because the event in which he appears explains once and for all that silver is his kid (you wouldn't believe how many people don't know or don't believe that), and this was the only generation that featured silver.
6. Because of how Kris and Leaf acted, taking the place of the male rather than swapping with him like May and Dawn, they needed a new female character for it to make sense. (You really wouldn't believe how many people would probably freak out if kris and gold so much as appeared on the same screen and one of them talked).
7. Please refer to her as Leaf, since there was no blue themed game including her and people might confuse her with the rival blue from R/B/Y/G/S/C, and that's her official game name.
8. People are disappointed with the removal of a lot of things. But the game is already out and you can't change it. Don't hate HG/SS for these reasons alone.

Yes, this rant was completely necessary. And for those of you who think it wasn't... well, there's not much you can do about it, is there. Oh, and who brought up the topic of Red raping Mario? Wtf is wrong with you?! We don't need that stuff on here!

Oh no don't get me wrong now I never said anything about hating the game, I'm getting it after all when it comes out in the states. All I was asking is as to why she wasn't in the game that's all. XD

Seeing as there are random topics getting started here like Red getting it on with Mario...a mod could close this thread, I don't mind.

It's the fact that if you play the games where Leaf and Crystal appear, you'll notice that when they're in the game, neither Red or Gold respectively aren't. However, If you play R/S/E or D/P/Pt, the other Gender appears in the storyline. Not only that, but since this isn't a Crystal remake, they din't want to put a lot of crystal only stuff in there. In fact, the only event I can think of that happens the exact same between HG/SS and Crystal is the Dratini thing. It's for similar reasons why Leaf does not appear in the game. Plus, in case you haven't noticed, even girls who played R/B/Y still played as Red in a lot of cases. These are supposed to be diehard remakes, and there are a bunch of people who would actually flip out if they had to face someone else besides Red. And not in the good way. FireRed and LeafGreen weren't actually very succesful compared to their originals, and since Gold and Silver were so successful, they might be taking precautions. Plus, is ther really that much of a difference whether or not she's in the game? They didn't want to add, only replace, which is why Soul is taking the place of Kris and why Leaf isn't in there. Plus, beacause of how they made previous games, Leaf was kinda put in to avoid gender dicrimination lawsuits (you would be shocked at how many people would do that or actually did it during the Game Boy Color Generation).

Was this rant necessary? No, not really.
Does it make a point? Yes, I think it does.

Oh, and whoever started the Mario-Red thinmg, don't bring it up anymore.
