Logan Paul pitches an idea to The Pokémon Company which is sure to excite nostalgic fans of the Nintendo saga
An idea based on enormous nostalgia for the first generations. “The Pokémon Company should create a remastered game inspired by the OGs”
Logan Paul has become one of the most talked‑about internet personalities in recent years — a figure who rarely leaves anyone indifferent.
Among his many interests, one of the most prominent is his obsession with Pokémon. He’s shown that passion not only through collecting the Trading Card Game but also through the video games themselves, and this week he shared a new idea about them on social media.
Yearning for Pokémon’s golden age
In a message directed at The Pokémon Company, Paul said he believes “there’s a massive opportunity to capitalize on the decades of nostalgic equity that fans have with the franchise. The same frenzy that originally propelled Pokémon into mainstream culture lives within millions of adults that yearn for the feeling the original games provided.”
A creator who never hides his love for Pokémon
Paul explained that “every 2-3 years I find myself picking up a Gameboy and running back Pokémon Red/Blue/Crystal/Gold on the original cartridges, beating the Elite Four with just as much joy I had as a child.”
He says he’s kept up this tradition for the past 15 years, and while he enjoys some of the newer titles, he admits he doesn’t feel the same connection to the more recent Pokémon generations.
According to Paul, “The Pokémon Company should create a remastered game inspired by the OGs that mirrors the original pixel graphics, combines the best generations of Pokémon, and introduces adaptive NPCs that evolve alongside the player.”
It’s an idea many fans have called brilliant, even though the early generations have already been remade multiple times. Generation I was reimagined on the Game Boy Advance with FireRed and LeafGreen, and again on the Nintendo Switch with Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! Generation II received its own remakes on the Nintendo DS with HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Still, nostalgia sells — and these early generations remain some of the most beloved in the franchise. The truth is that a modern remake of the first games, using a style similar to Square Enix’s HD‑2D aesthetic while staying faithful to the original look, would likely strike a chord with longtime fans.
