@PkmnAnon Probably because Red is the canon protagonist of his journey along with Gold/Ethan. Everyone else would have to confirm the gender of the protagonist and I don’t think they wanna do that.
@CattDoodle Lucario was the face of Gen 4 during pre release, they pushed him pretty hard and to great success. They later tried to do a repeat of that with Zoroark for Gen 5 but it simply wasn’t as popular as Lucario was.
@elliedagoat74 I’m sure these games get better but to this day, these are the only mainline games I haven’t finished. I just couldn’t sit through Gen 7’s drawn out dialogue again. There shouldn’t be a constant interaction going in every town/city/route. The player never gets uninterrupted time
@gravelalter Reminds me of when reload first came out and someone made a mod to remove the 2000’s era internet speech/slang in a game that takes place in 2009. Thinking that it was just “made up internet jargon”
@ClydeSenpai@Terameterss@PKMN_twt Yeah that’s fair, I think my thing is that Gen 1 and 2 are very straight to the point and because of this makes replays pretty easy/fun to do. I can readjust to old mechanics so that part isn’t a big deal for me personally.
@ClydeSenpai@Terameterss@PKMN_twt Ehh “worse” as in their old in dated I guess, but I think I’d still have more fun doing a Gen 1 or 2 run over something like XY or SM. GSC+stadium 2 is probably one of my favorite Pokémon experiences.
@4amlaundry@GothFoxYael It probably will, I mean I used an English translated Green version on my NA Pokémon stadium/2 and it still worked and it even read it as Green version despite it never releasing over here.
@Terameterss@PKMN_twt Think this is also comparing them to their old 3rd games as well. HGSS is a replacement since it has all the crystal content as well. ORAS is on par because no one can agree if they’re better than Emerald, and FRLG is an obvious upgrade over RGBY.
@lala0nizuka_@Aster899@The_BallGuy@33wind_ If they’re truly adding voice acting to these games then it shouldn’t be that hard. Digimon did something similar with their opposite gender protagonist being the fully voiced one.
@AlbarnsDemon Tbf Switch and Set mode are the closest things to difficulty settings outside of BW2. Playing on Set is the Pokémon equivalent to playing on normal mode but most people play on Shift.
@Tristan_2B If pikachu had a mega it either wouldn’t run off the established rules like mega ray(so it can still use a light ball) or it gets a broken ability that makes it worth using.
@areheon The modern ratio is a stupid holdover from Gen 3 to make breeding starters harder, Ditto wasn’t available at all when Ruby and Sapphire first came out.
@vitu_wasd@PkmnAnon Probably, but Red is still the only one that officially fought an all out Giovanni and won. Even in Gen 7 when you defeat Giovanni he says he wasn’t giving it his all then he just leaves after getting what he came there for.
