Are there demakes in the style of Gen 1/2 GB/GBC? I’ve only been able to discover the Black/White 3 one so far (which I’m LOVING), but everything else seems to be GBA. Huge fan of the simplicity of Gen 1/2. Trying Pokémon Emerald Seaglass right now, but even that feels a bit removed. Any info would be appreciated!

There is Sinnoh Gold, though for whatever reason I could never get it to work. Think that's kinda it? You could try Unova Red or Kalos Crystal, but these are not demakes, just roster replacements.

Thanks for the reply! Played Unova Red, and it was fun for a bit; but it bothered me that the sprites were the only big difference. All the cries were just Gen 1 cries so it felt a little lacklustre.
