Im still salty to lose this set, super mario 1 has 3 games across remakes, any other pokemon do not has this treatment in the site why make red and blue merge.

I'm not surprised there's 32 set requests for this. No other Game Boy game has more than 9. They shouldn't have retired this set, it needs to be restored.

Not really sure why people are saying theyre completely different games. Besides some extremely minor things red/blue are like 98% the same game. It would be too redundant to have cheevos for virtually the same game and honestly I dont know why they didnt have all of the gens merged together with themselves besides the combined standalones (Emerald, platinum etc).

Gostaria de pokemon blue com conquistas

O Blue tinha um set separado antes, mas ele foi fundido com o Red. Você ainda pode ganhar conquistas jogando o Blue, elas valem para o set compartilhado agora. Esta página é uma sepultura em memória do set antigo e parece improvável que eles voltem a ser separados por um bom tempo.

Frankly (coming in years after this happened, mind) I feel that the merge was a good move. It's weird that the other Pokemon sets aren't merged, but Red and Blue really are almost identical. The bonus set even has an achievement for fully completing the Pokedex, which you can only do by playing both versions, if that's what you really really want (and trust me, I *have* played through both Red and Blue to complete the Pokedex in the past). If you can come up with some achievements that would warrant separate sets that aren't just "catch all the version-specific pokemon" (which is already a thing in the merged set anyway), then I would be happy to retract my statement, but as it stands I think the other two-version pairs could stand to be merged as well. Keep the third versions separate though, since those do actually have appreciable differences.

The bonus set achievement for completing the Pokedex isn't about playing both versions and trading (I don't even know if that's legal by RetroAchievements rules), it is about using glitches to complete it. The easiest I know of is the Trainer-Fly glitch.

Damn, wish these hadn't been combined since weirdly enough I would've loved the extra Mastery on my profile.
Also very odd since there's no consistency.

Red and Blue are joined, yet FireRed and LeafGreen are separate.
Whereas Gold and Silver are separate, but their HGSS remakes are joined? Then Gen 3, Diamond&Pearl and Gen 5 keep their titles separate. Curious what the logic was. Since some of the changes between versions absolutely do not justify keeping some separate in comparison to Gen 1 and HGSS. Just strange.

It's bad enough that Gamefreak releases the same game TWICE everytime, joining the two games here was the best decision in my opinion, and something that should be considered for every other Pokémon game.

Horrible choice merging these in my opinion, made even worse by the fact that there is no consistency between Pokemon games. If you want to merge them fine, but to merge some pokemons and not others is really wierd. I don't even care that much that they merged them but it's that fact that really makes it seem wrong.

Should definitely add more achievements

I unironically hope all gens get merged :3c

I unironically hope all sets get unmerged.

If the sets for Pokemon sister games were different enough I'd say keep them unmerged but for the most part it's just the same damn thing over and over again. Beat the Gym Leaders, maybe have some level restrictions, Catch Chansey or whatever bullshit Pokemon's plaguing the Gen, do some side stuff, the Pokemon Contests if the Gen has it, complete the single-player Pokedex. Honestly, at that point, it's just the fact that Pokemon games are at their core pretty much the same exact experience every time, but the sets don't need to reflect that...
ChiiniiTheComet 16 Jan 2025 15:12
It would be interesting if both Pokemon sets were focused on something different. For example, Red could be focused on battling, training Pokemon, and beating every Trainer in the game. Blue's set, on the other hand, could be focused on collecting Pokemon, completing the Pokedex, and collecting items. Those have always been the two sides of the Pokemon franchise, and is the reason it's such a popular series, because it appeals to so many. I feel like the sets are too far past these potential revisions because so many users on here have already gotten the existing achievements, effectively dooming both this set and all other Pokemon sets as a whole. RIP, Pokemon Blue, you are missed.

Also, in that system I mentioned above, that means there would actually be a reason to go in and master both games, because then you've mastered both aspects of the Gen ONCE, without having to go in and redo all of your hard work in both sets (barring Progression, since that can't be helped). Both games would have something fresh and different to offer.

Granted there's more to the games, but Ruby/Sapphire did something similar. Ruby is more Pokedex and completion; Sapphire is more contest and ribbon-related. I really like what they did with those 2 sets.
