Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are now available on Nintendo Switch, which for many will be the first time retro Pokemon games have been readily available on a modern platform. That means, this will be the first time that a not insignificant portion of the Pokemon fanbase will be playing an old Pokemon game, given that FireRed and LeafGreen came out all the way back in 2004.
Those that have played the Game Boy Advance games will know that Pokemon has come a pretty long way (even if sometimes it seems like it hasn't), and the amount of QoL changes that have been made over the decades may come as a shock to some Pokemon fans. I can imagine some people going into FireRed and LeafGreen not even knowing the struggles of dealing with HMs.
That being said, the Pokemon veterans out there are doing their best to fill in the newcomers on exactly what to expect, sharing tips and tricks about where to find items and where to get loads of money easily. It's like I'm back in 2004 all over again, and I'm talking about Pokemon games on the playground.
One good example of this is a recent Reddit...
