Are Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen Still Peak 20 Years Later? | Retrospective

[@johnclabby3644]

Leaf Green is arguably my favorite Pokémon game. I have a save file with 500 hrs with a couple of shiny Pokémon. And I still go back to it to this day! Great video man

[@LunarWingCloud]

I will never let anyone convince me FRLG aren't some of the best games of the series. As just an RPG, forget a Pokemon game, these games are just incredible. The sense of freedom and options at your disposal, even if imperfect, make them highly replayable
I don't think Pokemon fans truly appreciate how good these games are as RPGs or games in general. There's just something magical about Gens 3-5 to me

[@shewolfcub3]

FireRed/LeafGreen are seen by most as some of the best games in the franchise really, which makes me happy. It deserves it!

[@safruddinaly5822]

I can't wait to see playing bw and bw2. Watching and hearing you really enjoyable

[@GramKraken]

@@safruddinaly5822 can’t wait to play them again too

[@shewolfcub3]

Short answer: Yes, its amazing honestly. It deserves A tier ranking

[@facoulac]

Firered and leafgreen are the optimal way to experience Kanto. That said, Kanto itself is a pretty lackluster and bland region, with a relatively small amount of pokemon to choose from. That is Generation I's fault though, and not the game's itself. I consider it the best start for new players

[@ches2]

Interesting. I think kanto is one of the best region and one I’ve probably replayed the most. Respect tho

[@facoulac]

@@ches2 Ive replayed it many times and thats what makes it so bland to me. Its not that bad, it just doesnt compare with the regions that came after it

[@Crocodile_80]

Hoenn and sinnoh were peak

[@ches2]

@@Crocodile_80 what's peak now?

[@facoulac]

@@Crocodile_80 Honestly, Hoenn is an amazing and diverse region, however ive played through it so many times that it became boring. Its not the region itself though, its the 2 teams you have to battle. Sinnoh is great I wont lie

[@koolaidman10574]

yes. there, i saved you 20 minutes. i just played it the other night

[@joshuaallessio6255]

The other night? The main campaign takes about 40 hours lol

[@koolaidman10574]

@@joshuaallessio6255 aaaaand? still peak

[@tomatogenesis]

​@@joshuaallessio6255They said they played it, not completed from start to finish

[@tomatogenesis]

The true answer to this question is: Yes.

[@JAN2MARS]

Never thought I’d see a Dynasty Warriors reference in a Pokemon video.

[@bustabranden]

Short answer: Yes, yes they are

[@chvIry]

Ah yes, 20 years s ago. I am old now

Squirtle gang for life brother

[@streamofthought8662]

[@GramKraken]

@@streamofthought8662 if I ever make a video on gen 5 it’ll probably be called “Yeah Gen 5 is peak and we’ll never get there again…”

[@AlfaRomeoqaz]

Pokemon peaked in Emerald and Platinum

[@asg_45]

Gen V is also very good

[@lrblueslowbro5302]

Good old times. Gen 9 with its lgbt Pokemon and Trainer are the tipping point for me. Will only play gen 1-5

[@chrisgiles40]

Is there actually LGBT in pokemon now? Ffs 😂

[@piper67890able]

are you okay... what do you mean lgbt pokemon? the trainers maybe but the pokemon?? name one. I'll wait

[@hanh9982]

😂😂😂

[@larrycrowne8330]

How can there be LGBT trainers? Rather than Bug Catcher Joey you encounter Gay Boy Jim?
