I guess what I'm saying is that I didn't really appreciate the whole thing about Kanto and Johto being so strongly based in Satoshi Tajiri's upbrining until I was much older, and that Hoenn took me in much more as an adventure in my youth.

Starting playing Fire Red for the first time just this week though, it brings back a lot of fond memories of Kanto, and reminded me that the progression in the game world of the original game (which is replicated), was actually really good and clever. It also adds a lot of nice quality of life upgrades from RSE which I very much appreciate.
It's more challenging than the modern games too, which is another thing I like, it's not hard, but it doesn't feel braindead.
