I understand why they remade Gen 1 again. FireRed & LeafGreen came out in 2004. These games serve as an introduction to the new generation of kids whose first Nintendo console is the switch.

But for hardcore fans... yeah we didn't need this. I thought X and Y were easy. Those games are nothing compared to this. Your partner Pikachu and Eevee are op as heck!

The catching mechanic as well as feeding your Pokémon berries was obviously inspired by Pokémon Go. They should have stick to the original formula but whatever.

Blue, one of the best rivals and champions is replaced by some dweeb named Chase. Probably the most unnecessary of changes done.

All in all, bad games. Mediocre at best. I would recommend if they were cheap but this is Nintendo we're talking about. They never discount their games.

Not that I'm judging, but if you consider them mediocre, why only two stars? That would imply they're less than average.

@electrode yeah I guess you're right. I rate games on a scale of 10. 2 stars would equal 4/10 and I would consider that bad, not mediocre.

I understand, Pikachu is better so that would have tipped it over to a higher score 😌
