About Pokémon LeafGreen Version
Pokémon LeafGreen Version and Pokémon FireRed Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004.
As the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green Versions, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.
The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for Game Link Cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokémon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately.
FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.

I played this the same summer I first tried Red Dead Redemption, funny how differently those two ended up aging for me.

et ça change quoi au classement concrètement

Ranking a Kanto remake against Bloodborne and Dark Souls feels random, but that's how the matchups fall here.

Face à des jeux aussi récents, forcément la comparaison paraît injuste, mais c'est le même souci partout dans ce classement.

jaja el mismo problema en todos los duelos dices, y qué votarías tú entonces, porque yo llevo pocas partidas y me cuesta decidir

you know it fits, admit it

People keep arguing about where it belongs and honestly the ranking probably won't move much either way. I still think it deserves better than 421st.

I remember trading with a friend at school just to complete stuff, we'd sit there comparing lists for what felt like forever, and honestly half the fun was arguing over which starter was better.
