    How come I can evolve my Eevee into Umbreon in Gold but I can't evolve my Eevee into Umbreon in Red?

      How come I can't evolve my Eevee that evolves into a Pokémon that was introduced one generation later in Red?
      Not the gotcha you think it is.

        Why didn't they simply release an update to Red that would add the gen 2 pokemon? Expansion packs were a thing in the 90s and there were a number of dummy placeholder mons in RBY. The games had compatibility with the Stadium games so they could've made those games expand upon RBY's game data.

        Nice try though.

          Doesn't seem cost efficient to also sell a new version of RB.

        No internal clock. Trade to RSE to evolve it.

      There was no concept of day and night at the time RGBY/RSE/FRLG took place. Time only started somehwere in the three years prior to GSC/DPPt/HGSS. ORAS is confirmed to take place in another universe where the day/night cycle already existed.

    How come you can't catch Skarmory in Gold but you can in Silver?

      Trading has always been a key element of pokemon
      The difference between op and your post is that you can get multiple skarmory and trade them, but you can only catch one Kyogre for save file

    Why would I play Ruby and Sapphire over Emerald?

    Actual answer: Lugia and Ho-Oh weren't originally meant to be counterparts. Beta builds had Ho-Oh as the only legendary like Mewtwo in Gen 1, Lugia was added much later
    Then Gamefreak and Nintendo realized the israeli potential of having exclusive legendaries and started doing it

    Because Ho-Oh and Lugia aren't sealed away for eons because their awakening means immediate doomsday for the region, they're just in hiding until you get their respective bells to coax them out, Ho-Oh isolating itself because only the worthy may meet it, and Lugia isolating itself because of its power being too great to be wielded carelessly out in the open.
    Meanwhile Groudon and Kyogre will sperg the moment they're awakened from their ancient slumber, so naturally the guardians of the artifacts needed to awaken them won't let anyone have them.

    Why even cry about this?
    Version exclusives have been in the game from the start, if you can live with Meowth only being in Blue you can live with Kyogre only being in Sapphire.

      You're unable to obtain multiple Kyogres via one playthrough unlike Meowth where the only limit is really your PC space

    Reminder that Tajiri fought to make Ho-Oh and Lugia available in both version of Gold and Silver explicitly because he didn't want players to feel obligated to buy both versions of the game to get both legendaries, meaning that every game he hasn't directed was designed with forcing players to buy both copies in mind.

            Yes, that is literally the exception that I just described. Good job reading and comprehending this simple idea, but OP is talking about having both on one file, which would necessitate one party permanently losing their unique box legend when it comes to trading, which is not something many people would want to do.

      yes, the true answer is obvious: Masuda is infinitely more greedy than Tajiri, that's it.

      According to some old interview with Masuda, multiple versions and version exclusives were Miyamoto's idea.

    it's not really the legendary pokemon that's exclusive in GSC, it's actually their moves, you can't get a Sacred Fire Ho-oh in Silver, while you can't get Aeroblast Lugia in Gold, and you won't get either on Crystal, though Suicune doesn't have a signature move of its own.

    Why can’t I just evolve my Cosmoem into Solgaleo or Lunala depending on the time of day? They’re literally the sun and moon pokemon. Why the frick does it have to depend on game version even after gen 7?
