I think you'd like it.
You can breed Pokemon in this version and the battles use gen 3 mechanics like held items, natures and abilities. There's a little postgame area that they added after the Elite Four, but it's basically the same game as Red and Blue otherwise.
Whenever you load a save you get a little recap of what you did before you last saved your game which I thought was neat; I don't think they brought that back for any of the subsequent games. They also added an item that serves as a tutorial and hint mechanic, but it is completely optional.

The remakes of gen I and II are superior in every way. They have vastly improved gameplay, much more content and many QoL improvements.
People who have nostalgia for the originals will miss some of that 8-bit charm, but there's no reason to play the originals otherwise, the only exception being maybe Crystal, which is an amazing game in itself.

I think Emerald has the best post-game content ever with the battle facilities. Pokémon being easy as it is, really needs something to challenge players that want more.

I dunno if I really agree with this. I think the Game Boy games still hold up

>> No.8695981

>>8695978
It doesn't matter if they hold up because the remakes are the same games, but better in every aspect, thus the only reason to play the originals is nostalgia or a taste for 8-bit games.

Which game is this?

>> No.8695991

Probably not very hard at all to recreate. The buildings are actual polygonal models; most of the rest of the graphics are sprites.
>>8695984
HeartGold or SoulSilver. The remakes of Gold and Silver for the DS. You can have a Pokemon follow you around for the entire game like Pikachu does in Yellow. It's great.

>> No.8695997

>>8695991
Sounds really comfy. I think the background could be drawn by laying down the tiles into an image, then performing a transform, then placing the sprites on top. Yeah, the buildings do seem 3d, so a bit more work there. Guess it wouldn't feel the same if buildings were sprites too. Might be a fun little project to experiment with anyway.

>> No.8696129

>>8695981
They're not better in every way if you prefer the mechanics of the originals. There's more to it than nostalgia. I like both as separate entities, but blanket statements about the "objective" superiority of any particular remake is bound to be unpopular.

Yes, and if you can afford it I highly recommend playing it with Pokemon Stadium using a transfer pak, very comfy. By the time you beat the elite four in Red/Blue you'll have a good team that you can use in Stadium. Beating the elite four in Stadium rewards you with a special pokemon that transfers to your gameboy game, like an Eevee, a starter, or one of the Hitmons.

FRLG have a bunch of extra content at endgame but have almost nothing new in the actual progression through Kanto. They're kind of 50/50 to me, a lot of the value of Kanto is pure nostalgiabait and you lose a lot of that in FRLG's presentation.
If you want to actually play the game with anybody and use the 151 in an engine that isn't completely broken FRLG is fine.

Gens 4/5 are great looking games, I think the combination of a main 2D style with 3D decorations throughout the world made it really nice to wander around in. Wish the series kept that combination instead of going full 3D.

FRLG are great (and so are the HGSS sequel), but sadly, they lead to tranny nu-Pokemon Gens 4-9 games (and we all know about that shitshow).

If you can get him to try Gen 1 (via Stadium 1 or 2 GB Tower, preferably), that would establish a good path and innoculate him with cool nostalgia against the crap of current Pokemon in-name-only. The Stadium connection would allow him to fully experience Gen 1 and then 2, plus show him that you can have fun with Pokemon (anywhere) without giving money to Game Freak, which is now terrible.
