I started with Red back in '99, but my favorite was always Gold after I played it, but some issues (HMs, especially waterfall, etc) with the game, I was convinced to make a game that's like the originals, but with a twist and better QoL features to make things interesting and fun.
A classic journey in the Kanto and Johto Regions. Re-live the adventure of Red and his Starter Pokémon as he travels through the Kanto and Johto Regions collecting all 16 badges of the two Regions and battling against the Elite 4 before taking on one last task...
QUESTION: I've played many other Kanto games including the official ones. What's so great/different about this one?
ANSWER: After collecting 7 of 8 badges in the Kanto Region, journey to Johto and collect the 8 badges of that Region just before getting your final badge in Viridian. Even though not much of the core game in regards of the original story has changed, there are some differences including, but not limited to: slightly modified timeline, the plot of the Johto games incorporated into the story, the plot of the First Pokémon Movie incorporated and some Easter Eggs from the show. Basically, Giovanni's Pokémon Clone experiment is in full swing and he still has control over Mewtwo and you have a battle with him. Mewtwo then takes off to another location where you go to find him, battle his clone army of (6) Pokémon then against Mewtwo himself again where you get the opportunity to catch him. Also, due to the addition of the Fairy type, the game is better balanced.
QUESTION: What features are in this game?
ANSWER: HMs replaced with Pokemon Skill, harder than the originals without overcomplicating it, Day/Night/Month/Season/Moon Phase Cycles based on real time, Clone Pokémon from the First Movie, Pokemon seasonal migration, expanded story to give some characters more personality/involvement, No Fakemon, Z-Moves, Mega Evolution, Regionals, under leveled evolved Pokemon (I'm looking at you, Falkner and your Pidgeotto), etc, some Pokemon typings modified such as Ninetales being Fire/Psychic and Marowak being Ground/Ghost, more Pokemon lore for non-legendaries, "custom" audio tracks for some areas, battles, etc, bigger maps to encourage exploration/give a little worldbuilding feeling, a bank (yes, a bank and no, it's not Mom), overworld encounters, two Starters, in battle evolution, overworld Pokemon in some cities and towns, a change at the construction site in Vermillion throughout the game, no more annoying trainers calling to tell you about their Rattata, etc. Many trainers are able to be re-battled every 3 days and some grow as you acquire badges (phone is only used to call Oak, Mom and specific parts of the storyline, Legendary Pokemon except Mewtwo can breed, etc
QUESTION: Speed up function/Game Hours?
ANSWER: No except for the running shoes (which you get right away) and the bicycle. Storyline playtime alone will be about 35-40 hours (guesstimating). It takes me a consistent 7hr 30min, give or take a few minutes+/-, to get to Celadon City and beating Erika alone. 100% Completion will probably be about 40-50 hours.
POKEDEX: 315 available Pokémon from the first 2 generations (this includes their baby and final forms from gen 3/4 as well as some other Pokémon from gen 3/4). Celebi axed due to not being able to fit it in the story as well as Qwilfish/Corsola/Remoraid/Octillery/Mantyke/Mantine (too many water Pokemon), Unown, Dunsparce, Delibird and Smeargle to fit better Pokémon. All trade evolutions have new evolution methods. Item trade hold Pokemon just need to hold the item and level up to evolve, Machoke/Kadabra/Graveler/Haunter all evolve at Level 42, all Eeveeloutions use their type's Stones to evolve including Espeon/Umbreon. Dawn/Dusk Stones not in game and Pokemon which evolve with those use either the Sun/Moon Stones respectively, breeding certain Pokemon such as Sudowoodo and Blissey DO NOT require incense. Some Pokemon have received new Egg Moves most notably Eevee for you Eevee fans.
STARTER CHANGES: The same starters from Kanto and Johto with some typing changes: Charmeleon/Charizard (Fire/Dragon), Blastoise (Water/Steel), Meganium (Grass/Psychic), Typhlosion (Fire/Ground), Feraligatr (Water/Dark). Still playing with the movesets/pools to reflect those changes as well as the few other Pokemon modded this way.
POST GAME: Catch Mew, re-challenge a modified Elite 4 and Gym Leaders, Sevii Islands Pokémon League style battles against different trainers back to back in place of the Battle Frontier, see areas of Kanto and Johto as they've grown throughout the game, so be sure to re- visit cities and towns throughout your journey as well as post game, visit secret route/area in place of the Johto Safari Zone to battle against me and my family/friends once a day, visit Mt. Silver to challenge Red, possibly more.

Some parts may or may not contain semi lengthy dialogue, however, any dialogue of length has world building/storyline purpose, so it's not a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Also, you could get something for your troubles of reading what an NPC has to say.
