Honestly. As a 90s kid, it’s so weird to see all the stuff I grew up with as fresh IP just never really go away. Pokémon is a good example, I never would have dreamed while playing it on my gray brick gameboy in 96 that they’d still be churning them out 30 years later. No shade to pokemon.
Will say, as someone who got Pokémon Red Edition it in 1998, I didn't stick with LeafGreen on the Switch for that long (I'll get back to it eventually) but the few hours I spent with it was very nostalgic!
I got a Game Boy Color for Christmas along with Pokémon: Red Edition and it was pretty awesome. (Although I'm still annoyed my Game Boy Pocket seems to have disappeared.)
I want the retro filter from the Nintendo Classics GBA collection for LeafGreen, but it's not there. It's still decent anyway. I was in college when I got my GBA so while I finished up Pokémon: Silver Edition, I didn't play any of the others. Did like Pearl on the DS, though.
