Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen devs found that "the programming sucks" in the original RPGs, but needed Nintendo's help on the remakes because they "hadn't gotten any better at programming since then"
Developers from Game Freak admitted that the programming in the original Pokemon Red and Blue was poor, making the remakes Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen difficult to develop. They required assistance from Nintendo, particularly for implementing the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter, as the team felt their programming skills had not improved since the original titles.
