arguably the best way to experience Kanto (basically competing with fire red). There's already so much bloat in the the Gen 1 games, and the GO style of catching simply speeds up the more tedious parts of a pokemon game that you're most likely done a million times over. Not to mention this is probably THE easiest way to complete a pokedex in a modern pokemon game. Great graphics that fit the pokemon world, albeit a bit basic (though that's better than a lot of what gamefreak puts out). I would recommend trying it out if you were hesitant the first time around.

As much as I loved experiencing this game for the first time, I couldn't help from having the playthrough be held back by the classic jank that plague a lot of platformers around this time. Some worlds are wildly better than others, and with that comes a lot of annoying things (mainly the theater level).

With all of that aside though, there's still a good game underneath some of the janky and dated stuff. The story is unique, characters are funny, and it's got a creative art style that really draws you in. I can't wait to dive into the sequel assuming that they fixed most of the problems I had with this one.
