This game was built to appeal to both the veterans of the series and the new folks just itching to give Pokemon a try. It's a fair bet that the fans will get this game without much hesitation.

If you like wasting small bits of time here and there with your GBA - and especially if you're new to the series - this is still the best thing you get get on the portable. [Nov 2004, p.134]

Época dorado de Pokémon, esto junto con Pokémon esmeralda hacen de la 3 generación una de las mejores. Además de que en este juego mejoras muchas de las mecánicas molestas y que daban pereza de la primera generación.

Why make Squirtle and Bulbasaur fight each other? They're clearly friends in the Pokemon anime (or were friends anyways, Pokemon Journeys seems to have broken up their friendship)

From the big things to the little things like Move Tutors, new moves, and the ability to mix and match through literally hundreds of creatures, makes creating teams an endless task. Whether you're new to the series or been there from the beginning, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen will surely not disappoint.

Loved the game :) I think I have played the game almost 5 times.
One of the best pokemon games.

Expecting a quick stroll down memory lane, I instead found myself renewing my long forgotten obsession with Pokémon. A must-buy for any past or present fans of Pokémon, and should definitely be considered by any RPG fan.

Nintendo as of late have been the masters of repackaging their own products, and it pleases me to say that they have done well with Pokémon FireRed.

The quality of the game remains and it's an essential purchase for those who are new to Pokemon but we can't help feeling the update is a little on the cheap side. [NGC]

I'd recommend these versions to new Pokémon fans when they come out locally, due to all the in-game help. When it comes down to it though, I'd rather have a new, more inventive game than a remake. [JPN Import]

The new additions don't add up to more than what we call an expansion pack for a PC game.

My rating will be based on the time that this game came out, and on that note. 10/10 remake.

Overall a solid game but a bit too simple in its mechanics and it has very few pokemon. I liked the exploration but the map was empty most of the time. Also the story is not so great

Buen juego de Pokemon, le tengo más cariño que al Rubi por alguna razón. Mítica generación y buen mapa, un problema que le veo es el nivel de los pokemons de la liga. Un remake sólido

The first generation of pokemon games were lackluster, but they were at least excusable because it was the first entry of a series that didn’t yet know what it was. The remakes, however, do NOT have this excuse. Idk how people defend these games that could have fixed SO many of the game’s issues but instead decided the only change worth making was the waste of time known as the Sevii Islands. Kanto already had a terrible variety of mons, making you still encounter pidgeys when you were 6 badges in while locking most of the actual interesting ones behind the safari zone or hard-to-reach dungeon floors. And this isn’t just because they only had 151 to work with. Black and white had about the same number, and they were constantly giving you new and interesting pokemon to catch in every location. Kanto is just a boring region with a boring early game, no story, no interesting characters, nothing that makes you wanna explore, and a lategame that feels unfinished. How did they already make a good game in Ruby & Sapphire and then fail to fix the glaring mistakes that made gen 1 such a slog to get through? This game isn’t worth your time, go replay gen 5.
SummarySet off on a grand adventure to fulfill your dreams of becoming a Pokémon master! Explore the Kanto region and discover wild Pokémon around every corner. Build your Pokémon collection, train them, and battle your way to success -- earn your badges as you develop winning strategies to use against experienced Gym Leaders in every town. Exp... Read More
