Enough time has passed. They're better than FRLG.

I don't think it's worth a comparison, they're pretty different games. That being said, I liked Let's Go (a lot) at release and I like it now. I also liked FRLG (a lot) at release and I like it now.
Funny and related story: a few years ago I tried joining the Serebii discord. I jumped into a convo where they were shitting in Let's Go and saying it was awful, I simply said that I liked Let's Go and I was promptly called a troll and banned :')

People would like the Let's Go games (and all Switch Pokemon games) if they were a third of the price. Nintendo and Game Freak sell this shit at full AAA prices which is why people rightfully shit on the franchise

As someone who loves both FRLG and LGPE, you are wrong. FRLG is simply the best Kanto game, because it has more (and better) content than LGPE.
The best things about LGPE are:
>Mega Evolutions
>Following Pokemon
The best things about FRLG are:
>Sevii Islands
>VS Seeker
>Trainer Tower
>a functioning Game Corner
>a functioning Safari Zone

Game Freak themselves said that FRLG are the "ultimate Kanto games". You can cope and seethe but this is a fact.
This doesn't mean LGPE is a bad game tho. LGPE is one of the best Switch games imo. FRLG is just superior.

GF really needs to drop the "friendly rival" shit. It's so much better when your rival's a dick like Blue or Silver because it makes you want to beat his ass.
>>
>>59015350
agreed. But even then in those games at least the "friendly rival" is made for and suits the atmosphere and setting those games are in.
LGPE just shoves a friendly rival that doesn't fit into the unchanged overall Kanto plotline. Even Blue himself isn't an ass and is just there for awkward fan service.

>>59012143
You're forgetting that LGPE has gym leader rematches, the master trainers, and the Red/Green/Blue battles. Oh, and being able to fly with certain Pokémon is cool, too.
FRLG still takes my heart for the post game sevii islands having Johto music remixes.

If they made them more like traditional mainline games they'd be kino as hell.
Maybe fully incorporate cross gen evolutions with an updated Kanto dex. Then just make Sevii Islands dlc and pack it full of regional variants of Kanto mons.
Eventually end the game with Red on Mount Silver encountering Mew, as a segway into explaining why he was there in gold & silver.

They just need a Switch 2 upgrade that adds Sevii islands. Other than that they're perfect, easily best Pokemon games.

>can't shiny hunt for Deoxys
Nope, FRLG mogs. You can't even argue semantics and say LGPE open up shiny hunting for Jirachi and Mew in BDSP because those are the literal only two mons that are shinylocked in that game.

>bouncy bubble
>sappy seed
>sizzly slide
>zippy zap
>splishy splash
>floaty fall
Unironically among the most OP moves in the franchise, it’s a shame they don’t get wider distribution. There’s a chance to make shitmons good with these moves. Like nobody lore-wise wants Dondozo to learn “splishy splash” and “bouncy bubble” but I’m totally down for like, corsola and luvdisc to learn them. Let the forgotten cutemons with no battle-ready evos get the silly Let’s Go moves. Sappy Seed Simisage, Sizzly Slide Dunsparce.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>59051238
All of the names are 100% that bad, and we’re talking about a franchise where “Play Rough” is considered a top-tier offensive move. But I think the names being bad is good, because I think it makes it a lot more sensible to restrict them to distribution to cute, non-threatening Pokemon. Miraidon does not need Zippy Zap, Plusle does. It’s good that the move being given a doofus name makes it feel appropriate on the latter and not the former.

It depends.
Do I like catching Gastly in Pokémon Tower? Yes
Do I like catching Gastly in Sprout Tower? Yes
Do I like catching Gastly in the Old Chateau? Yes
I'm going to catch Gastly once in each Generation (twice if it's in the base game and remakes, and maybe even three times if I get the third version several years removed). I'm not going to catch it 50 times in one game, there's no point.

my 5 year old nephew is newly obsessed with this series and i can't wait for him to start out with one of these games after his mom lets him on season 1 of the anime
i'm actually psyched to introduce him, and i think i might actually buy these games to play along with him
>>
>>
>>59091262
cause it's more up-to-date with modern mechanics like the physical/special split and the fairy type
plus, the kid is 5. he can only barely read. lgpe is explicitly a game for noobs, and it has far more interesting and attention-keeping graphics than frlg

>>59091224

as long as he ends up loving the starter

Most games can be good when you delete any gimmicks and numons they added, but trash like scat & vomit still needs all but maybe 3 characters deleted, along with the "country" that advertised for that slop

Don't forget that this is also the same game the introduced the dex cut before it was formally announced as the new direction for the series at E3 2019, but they also paywalled Mew behind a $50 controller with a single stick and button and explicitly coded the game so you couldn't transfer in other Mew from Home or Go so you HAD to spend $50 on a shitty controller that's only usable for this dogshit pokemon game if you wanted Mew in LGPE.

If you had to give a 6 year old (in your family; your kid/nephew) either game FRLG or LetsGo... I think I know that I'd give Let's Go but my heart wishes they could handle FRLG. The Switch rerelease showing all these adults lose to Misty's Starmie has me thinking otherwise. Also the kids might think the Gameboy SP is a touch screen so dont give FRLG on real hardware

That means the thread will always be based enough to have 2 more replacements for making pajeet cry hard enough to spam again after trying so hard to make up yet another "rule" that no one will ever follow just like no one from discord will ever be a real woman and no one from SAARty will ever stop being ESL
