The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A polished, modernized take on the classic Pokémon journey aimed at smoothing out the original's rough edges.

About

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen+ is intended to be the definitive FireRed and LeafGreen experience. It adds many quality of life and gameplay conveniences to make the game more bearable to play in 2022, adds more postgame activities, but also maintains the original battle mechanics and Gen 3 feel as much as possible. It's made with the pokefirered decompilation from pret, and I consider it to be complete.
