Dataminer @meatball_132 has been checking the code of the newly released Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen to see what secrets lie within and has come away with some interesting findings. The emulator that the two games run on is the same as the Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy Advance one which they discovered sends telemetry data to Nintendo such as which Pokemon you’ve caught and what level etc. The ROMs themselves are brand new ones and contain heavily customised revisions, so a fair amount of work has gone into them. The data miner also discovered that the Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen emulator is coded with emulation hacks for the games and also mentions Pokemon Ruby, Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Emerald
Dataminer scoured code of Pokemon FireRed LeafGreen emulator finds ROMs are new and mention Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald
PLEASE. I’m telling you, this is the PERFECT thing to release on Switch 1 for another year or so while Switch 2 becomes the main focus for new titles going forward. Give us some classic titles every ~6-months. GBA for $20, DS for $30, and 3DS for $40??
You are insane. Would you really pay that much for untouched 20+ year old games
If its a brilliant game, why wouldn’t you? Is it that maybe you have warped ideas about what things are worth? Lik6 only new things being worth anything?
Not everyone will have played it before. If you already own it, maybe for various compatible consoles etc but even then, sometimes it’s worth it to trade your old pokemon across, play on a big screen etc.
You may have missed the point?
No man,paying 20 dollars for just slapping a rom on an emulator is not worth it, it should not cost that much for such little effort. You got collection right now giving you multiple games, extra content, online play but game freak is such a lazy company that they can’t even make an option to change the language so you need to pay a second time or NOT EVEN GIVE YOU THE OPTION TO HAVE BOTH FIRE RED AND LEAF GREEN IN ONE PACKAGE! buy the game I don’t care but please understand that people like me will find your decision incredibly dumb. Accept that people will criticize you for your purchases and move on.
This better be legit.
3 different editions of a 23 year old game, sold as a digital exclusives, in 5 different languages with only one language per sale for $20 each?
Easy money
You don’t need more than one language in one game
You don’t need a shiny Pokemon
Please speed I need this
I hope we get Crystal, as well as the DS remakes of Gen II, but those will probably be $30…
Crystal probably won’t happen since it was released alongside all the other original GameBoy Pokémon games for generations 1 and 2 on the 3DS’ virtual console. But, I can see HG&SS being released sometime later similarly to FR&LG. 🙂
Hopefully. Also can we get multiple save files for all
sighs
Looks like im gonna open a savings account to get all 3 lol
I wonder if you can download a emulator and play firered& Greenleaf just to trade with them self
Obviously they mention Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, why is this news? The games heavily utilized RSE assets like some music and sound effects, and even some events use the same animations and tickets. The original ROMs have the same mentions, you can check yourself
I was 12 when ruby and sapphire came to America in 2003. I would have brought sapphire if the stores ran out of ruby. I’m glad emerald had Groudon and Kyogre.
I got a refund for Leafgreen
garbage product
so disappointed
Honestly this kind of stuff just makes it feel pointless to pay again for old games when the experience ends up being basically the same. At that point you might as well just play them online or try other games entirely and get similar enjoyment without buying new hardware. Lately I’ve been doing exactly that, just playing online games instead, even tried some casino-style ones and it’s been fine for me. I usually just check sites for info and free options like https://somagyarkaszinok.com/ingyen-porgetes/ and jump in. You can even find games inspired by classic Nintendo-style themes there. At least those games are actually built for online play and don’t expect you to keep rebuying the same thing. Funny enough, casinos seem to put more effort into releasing new content regularly instead of just reselling old stuff.
