Why did Red replace his Espeon with a Lapras?

It makes more sense? Lapras is cooler?

>>28727608
agreed

Because he needed a second mediocre water type

Because in Yellow, Red is more close to Ash wasn't supposed to have Eevee. That was Gary's mon. He did, however, actually own a Lapras.

In RGB, you're playing as Red, who doesn't have all 3 starters (initially) and also rescued the Eevee from TR (in the manga)

>>28727588
Because he needed to have Blizzard on his team during permanent Hail while also having a Pokemon immune to the effects of Hail

Oh. To add on... He only has Lapras in Crystal, which was basically the 3rd middle game that had the combo of version exclusive Pokemon from both opposite versions, just like how Crystal is with GS, Emerald with RS, so on and so forth.

Basically, Crystal is more of a sequel to Yellow than it is to RGB.

Snorlax has ass for special attack and he opted for Hydro Pump as his water STAB on blastoise. Lapras is just his boat. But remember, it's just a theory...A GAME THEORY.

Pardon me?

>>28727588
>Gives him all starters so he has no canon starter
>Gives him an Espeon which makes what it evolves into canon
