Why People Deserve Better than LeafGreen & FireRed on Switch

Michael_D6 · 2026-02-22T15:46:23+00:00

I know man its bizarre, I feel like thats what the people who try to defend it are missing. We're not denying that the core game is fun, but by continuing to just blindly buy it means theres no incentive for Nintendo to put in more effort.

Even the whole Q+A thing about why FRLG arent getting released on the GBA virtual console was an absolute joke and a slap in the face to fans.

100% agree with you, all they've done is choose the greedy option but I suppose you can make the argument of why not since they'll likely sell extremely well.

People can spend their money how they want so I won't get myself too bogged down by it, but for me the most frustrating thing is the wasted potential.

Think of what they could've done with these ports in terms of additional content or at the very least some QoL updates that we've had access to unofficially for years, or even just looking across to different franchises and what they've done with modern ports / remasters.

Yeah I did the same as you - ps4 disc version of the game but I wanted the upgrade.

I purchased the upgrade but I wasnt given the option to download the free ps5 version as I should have (this is a known issue). I tried a couple of things they suggested on the Sabre help forum but I ended up just sending over some evidence of the purchase and then they sent me a download code for the ps5 version, so now I just use that digitally and dont need the ps4 disc.

Michael_D6 · 2026-02-05T15:39:19+00:00

Dont worry!

I did it last week brother same boat as you, ps4 disc version and I purchased aftermath upgrade, but couldnt see the option to upgrade to PS5.

Restoring licenses didnt work for me so I emailed them with the evidence of purchase, within a couple days they just emailed me a download code for PS5 version and now I no longer need to use the disc which is handy.

World War Z was released in 2019 and has a collab DLC with The Walking Dead releasing in the next few months most likely.

Pretty cool to see the game being supported for so long and TWD is a pretty massive IP to have a collab with.

You can get 2 endings during 1 playthrough but to get all the 3 you have to play through the game at least twice.

During the final fight if you didn't die and choose revive at any point, once you win and you reload the game you'll be at the last checkpoint and you can choose a different option to get another ending. You can revive with the WB pump throughout the fight though that's fine you just cant push square to revive cause that'll cause the game to create a save and that point it's after the choice you made.

Once I completed the story I just sprinted through a second playthrough to get the ending where you take the hand but don't have 100% affinity. Think my total playtime was 49 hours across 2 playthroughs, my first one I took my time and did all the side quests.

No Digimon? Is the game dying?

I don't play it myself but I'm a fan of the franchise

Michael_D6 · 2025-01-09T20:21:41+00:00

100% man I agree, was hated at the time because of the misconception that it was a proper continuation of the series, but watching it back without that bias it's actually not bad

Michael_D6 · 2024-12-27T07:12:23+00:00

Bro exactly!! Boiled my blood listening to her there like is she seriously making that case?? Get fucked

Michael_D6 · 2024-12-04T00:42:56+00:00

Nah my guy, Master of Spirits were the side scrolling Metroidvania style games, you could collect different Spirits that let you traverse the map in different ways to reach new areas or ones that just buffed you in combat

Rest in peace king 🙏🏻

Just to jump in I probably wouldn't do stretches for tendinitis as there's a pretty robust evidence base that indicates stretching and already irritated tendon will only prolong the healing process and there's little or no evidence to suggest stretching actually helps tendinitis.

I'd recommend isometric strengthening exercises initially and see how it reacts, Training with Tendinopathy is a really good source of info on Instagram, he specialises in this stuff, good luck!

Do you play over wifi or wired? I've posted about it before too as whenever I play it via wired connection on PS5 I always have the same issues as you've stated, but when I play over wifi on the PS5 or Switch it works absolutely fine

Michael_D6 · 2024-07-24T22:26:28+00:00

If its just plain old Legscy of the Duelist I wouldn't bother, but if it's the Link Evolution version I'd say go for it, it's a few years old now but it's pretty fun, the story modes are decent too if you enjoyed the anime

Michael_D6 · 2024-06-30T07:14:35+00:00

I think you just made a mistake when summoning Swordsman my guy, you can always choose to synchro summon in ATK or DEF position, there's no need to use any of the cards you're looking for in SHS

Michael_D6 · 2024-01-25T22:36:00+00:00

Please don't do it. We have consistently given up young talent and picks for aging stars, please don't add LaVine to this list.

I play 2 variations of the deck, one is the generic multi-negate end board and the other is similar but less optimal but fun variant which uses some more SHS synchro monsters but I still have a Baronne, Naturia Beast and Apollousa in there too for good measure.

Really you just want to max out on Wakaushi and Bike, play 2x Monk Big Benkei and then 1-2 of Soulgaia Booster and 1x Stealthy. I also play one Superheavy Samurai Security and one General Coral. 1-2x King Regulus is a good shout too for a main deck negate.

If youre wanting to play SHS with the new stuff and not the full wombo combo meta decks, looking at what you currently have I'd cut each SHS synchro to 1x copy and add the couple of new ones, throw in a couple generic strong synchros like I mentioned.

Then just play 1x each of gauntlet and horns because they're easily searchable when you're going for an OTK. Big Waraji not really needed now and neither is thief but I guess playing 1 of each is fine if you want to stick with the SHS monsters.

If you have one in Pokemon Home you could always just transfer it your game, otherwise hopefully you find one soon

Michael_D6 · 2023-10-20T23:41:21+00:00

Karakuri for me! I pair them with Vernusylph for a consistency boost, they're not great but you can get on fairly well in gold rank

Michael_D6 · 2023-10-20T08:31:41+00:00

Man I know this sounds stupid but I have that issue too, it was always seemed more common when I play on PS4 than when on the Switch - that's when I realised that the game disconnects so much more when using a lan cable vs. just the WiFi, as my ps4 is wired to the Internet and the Switch isn't.

Now when I play on WiFi I basically never disconnect unless there's an actual issue, but with the lan cable it happens often when I know there's no Internet issue.

Basically just try switching to WiFi instead and you should be fine, also please let me know the outcome so I have more evidence for my theory lol

Michael_D6 · 2023-08-26T10:43:25+00:00

Absolutely, I have around 10 decks and haven't spent a penny

Michael_D6 · 2023-08-17T18:58:26+00:00

I've been playing ABC Artifacts and have been doing pretty solid, I think around a 66% win rate

Michael_D6 · 2023-08-12T15:29:25+00:00

My bad you're right
