As someone powered by nostalgia that’s about halfway through Red, it’s definitely rough. I’d personally recommend playing one of the remakes (Fire Red/Leaf Green, Heart Gold/Soul Silver, or Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire) if you’re interested in the earlier games but want something that’s a little friendlier to a modern gamer.
The Let’s Go games are also the same story (generally) as the Gen 1 games and more modern. It’s also available on the Switch, which is nice since it can be hard to find some of the older games (for not a ridiculous price).
Doesn't it changes too much the gameplay?
The wild Pokémon work very differently and they replaced HMs but otherwise it’s fairly similar to the other modern games.
Oh I see, it was part of their reinvention to fix random encounters I guess.
A lot of it was to capitalize on Pokémon Go’s success (the catching mechanic is nearly identical), but also people had been asking that wild Pokémon be visible in the over world for years
I’ll probably just play something else then. Not looking for new even if it’s new old.
For what it’s worth, Fire Red and Leaf Green are still early GameBoy Advance so they’re still pretty old.
They sound like my only option if I’m interested in trying it out then.
