Though Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen‘s release on Switch and Switch 2 was a great surprise for fans of the series, the ports are almost identical to the original Game Boy Advance versions, for better or for worse. Some issues were not fixed, such as the fact that the roaming Legendary Beasts (Raikou, Suicune, and Entei) always come with very low IVs, but a select few problems were. For example, again with the Legendary Beasts, they no longer cause a save-breaking glitch where you couldn’t catch them anymore if they used Roar. Having these ports as almost identical games means you can trace the progress you made in the originals step by step, or maybe tackle Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen with a competitive-adjacent mindset.
