3rd Gen What really should have happened in FR/LG

[Jamie006]

I've heard a lot of people talking about how there should be a GSC remake at some point. The truth is, something like this could have already happened if Nintendo had decided to spend more time on FR/LG.

Remember how after the R/B/Y portion of the game was mostly over, there had to be a way to find GSC Pokemon so all 386 Pokemon could be captured somewhere in the game? Nintendo solved this by putting in the Sevii Islands. However, they ignored what should have been the next logical step. What really should have happened was that after the Elite Four had been defeated, the player should get the chance to go to Johto, capture Pokemon there, and fight the Johto Gym Leaders in succession. After winding up in Johto, events would generally proceed the way they normally would in GSC (Team Rocket showing up at the Radio Tower, Legendary Beasts being released from the Burned Tower, etc.) The only differences would be that the red-haired Gen 2 Rival may not appear, and of course that the trainers in Johto would have more powerful Pokemon. The Elite Four could still be rechallenged like they would be after the Sevii Islands, but in this case, the player would have to get all of the Johto badges first.

(Nintendo could still keep Ho-oh and Lugia as special promotional things by having the Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing unavailable in-game, by the way, and having Suicune show up at the Tin Tower instead, like it was in Crystal.)

That would've been nice, but more expensive.

Actually I think it should have completely different events in Johto. It would have been nice to see Johto during the R/B/Y times. And then when you head to Silver Cave you can battle the hero from G/S/C.

I agree with jamie although I would make it so that you would choose to start in joto from square one.all the pokemon you caught are in the pc and you get handed a joto starter and go there and work your way around the story there like normally.only you would meet a new Rival as soon as you arrive

While the rest of the idea sounds interesting, there's really no way that the GSC storyline could have been pinned to the end of the FrLg storyline. The reason why is because RBY takes place three years prior to GSC (and there are plot points in GSC's arc that wouldn't really make all that much sense unless the timeframes were placed correctly -- like how Team Rocket could have gone from being crippled by the absence of Giovanni to rising as a force more formidable than in the RBY games).

Although if they modified the storyline to create a Johto expansion that doesn't follow the GSC line of events (or loosely follows them), then that wouldn't be so bad.

 

[Jamie006]

Yeah, I suppose that the storyline may have to be modified. Perhaps having Giovanni return to Team Rocket at some point might help?

But if you beat the E4 in Kantou and after the end credits it says "3 years later" and you're given a ticket to Johto. The proffessor there may give you a new starter anyway. Or maybe, like Yashiro said, your other Pokemon are in the PC boxes until you have gone through Johto and beat the E4 again. In the original games, it's two different characters in S/G/C and R/B/G/Y though. It's Satoshi/Red/Green/Blue and Kenta/Marina.

But that defeats the point of a GSC remake. GSC was epic the way it was.

Wouldn't be a fun battle....considering the hero of G/S/C didn't become a trainer until 3 years after R/B/Y. lulz. :P

They should make one huge pokemon game you start in Kanto then after head to Jhoto, then Heon & last Sinnoh. It would be good lol[/CENTER]

 

[Improfane]

What a brilliant idea. I ddn't think of it. How come nobody thought of it?

After reading the first post it is immediately understandable why its cool, but per usual, Jax Malcolm restores logic with a reason why it shouldn't be.

If anything about FR/LG I would change would be the making a single sholder button for help, ability to call the type matchup list with one button, ability to call up Fame Checker quickly and easy when someone is talking about someone, preferably with sholder button. The simple things that make items useful.

I use select for bicycle, a shortcut for VS seeker would be good too.

Well, yes, that's partly my point. You can't really have a remake to begin with if you don't retain a large chunk of the game. You can't, therefore, have a GSC remake tacked onto the end of Fire Red/Leaf Green because the storyline takes place three years into the future from RBY, and tacking that onto the end of FrLg would then require a rewrite (because several details of the GSC storyline require there to have been a large amount of time lapsing between the "present" and the events of RBY), which would then be just a Johto expansion and not an actual GSC remake (hence why I said expansion and not "GSC remake" in that particular paragraph), if that makes sense.

Maybe Pokemon Shiny Gold is a demo for the new game thats should be released.

 

[Dogar The Brave]

Or maybe shiny gold is an ROM hack by a person who goes by the username of Zel and it's an ROM hack like every other illegal ROM hacks.

Jax is right.
