I want to live in the universe where Adventure 1 was the popular one.
Golden Bolt's videos about "which did you encounter first" really shines a light on two games popularity when you consider the sales. But despite arguments about things like the difference in Emerald radars, the two games have a fair bit of difference to them. Though it's funny that Frontiers feels like it's blatantly trying to be a sequel to Adventure 1 over 2. As far as movies, Adventure 2 is admittedly the easier of the two to adapt. Though both have to work in the space of the movie continuity.
