@Vee it's like they completely missed what made the original memorable and on top of that it just feeling worse
@Archagent I haven't played Firered and Leafgreen in a long time but I remember really enjoying them. What made them worse than the original?

Ape Escape on the Loose

@MobileSpider They just generally took away a lot of what made Red and Green so distinct - it's a much more streamlined experience that removes a lot of their quirks. Not utterly terrible I suppose but I don't see much point in playing them when the originals nail the feeling so much better.

@Midrulean SADX is more of a port
Nah FRLG being on here is insane. Gen 1 is so crusty man. It's not even a "it has a lovable charm and character!" It's just ugly and the mechanics suck ass.

super star ultra is way better than the original. doesn't mean the original is bad. maverick hunter x should be comparable too so based on preference

you say kiwami is worse yet kiryu's nipples are in full HD. checkmate.
Everything else is fine, tho crash 1 on the N sane trilogy is certainly better

chocobo racing gp (predatory monetization), final fantasy iii ds (it's just mid), shin megami tensei: persona psp (butchered ost), pokemon let's go (tangential remake--oversimplified and uglier than fr/lg), pokemon mystery dungeon dx (removed content/difficulty) also seconded crash 2 remake (butchered momentum and the sprint from 3 being unnecessarily shoehorned in. only 2 tho, crash 1 remake is way better and 3 remake is about even)

absolutely insane list lol
