The 30th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise has brought many people back to the FireRed and LeafGreen editions. So did the Twitch streamer Mango, who even looked at his save file from his childhood and was quite surprised by his former self.
How many hours does the save file have? The Twitch streamer RvNxMango, simply called Mango, is a big fan of the Pokémon franchise. For the 30th anniversary of the franchise, the FireRed and LeafGreen editions were released for the Nintendo Switch.
Mango took a look at his old FireRed save file that he created 15 years ago. The Twitch streamer was 13 years old at the time.
It quickly becomes clear from the numbers: Even back then, Mango was a big Pokémon fan. The save file shows a total of 277 hours played and Mango defeated the Elite Four a total of 33 times, as can be seen from the Hall of Fame entries.

What did Mango do in Kanto? The Twitch streamer reminisces on YouTube as he looks at his old FireRed save file. The 277 hours of gameplay didn’t come from nowhere, as Mango continued to engage with the game even after the Champion and the Elite Four.
For example, he battled Team Rocket and their boss Giovanni again on the Islands. After Mango defeated him, Giovanni supposedly said something like that they would meet again. The 13-year-old Mango took that as an invitation to search everywhere on the map for Giovanni to challenge him again, which unfortunately didn’t work.
Mango further explains that back then, there were no real tips or solutions on the internet, which made him think he could still discover more.
Additionally, the 13-year-old Mango also managed to complete the national Pokédex. To level up the newly acquired Pokémon, he trained with the Elite Four.
Not to be missed were apparently the legendary bird Pokémon Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno. Other legendary Pokémon such as Mewtwo and Kyogre were also part of the various teams.
