Pokemon LeafGreen Version

GMR Magazine
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]

9 / 8 / 8 / 8 - 33 gold [Vol 798; 30 Jan 2004]
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.

The perfect remake for Generation 1. The GBA style graphics will always look vibrant and cute, which is something I miss from most of the newer games (when they released the remake for Pokémon Yellow in Let's Go: Pikachu / Eevee they did bring some of those colours back though). The base game is what you'd expect from an early Pokémon game. Training wasn't as fast and easy as it is now, neither was completing the entire Pokédex. So even if it isn't a difficult game, it still brings some challenging battles during your playthrough. It has also a ton of post-game content with the Sevii Islands, the roaming legendary, rematching a stronger Elite Four and more. Also, in the Switch version it also has the extra events active (Navel Rock and Birth Island). So, dozens of hours of pure enjoyment.

Good game, but the Switch version price is insane. At least give us a physical version!!

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.

Pokemon is finally porting their classics to modern consoles and they choose my favorite game of all time. Aside from some minor changes to allow Home support and wireless trading, this is the exact same game on Gameboy Advance and I couldn’t be happier

Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green are two magnificent games that pull off an amazing remake of two of the greatest titles in the franchise, however, I felt that there was a lot of room for improvement.

The graphics here are clean, robust and more colourful than previously, while the music, though still unswervingly upbeat, is as inoffensive as ever.

The new bells and whistles streamline gameplay and make this title much more fun than I was expecting. [Oct 2004, p.146]

Pokémon Leaf Green and Fire Red are better games than "Ruby" and "Sapphire." Their balance, style, and structure were the original benchmark and they remain that way.

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

Fire Red and Lead Green are easily the best Pokemon games released on Switch.

Such an unneeded remake that was made simply to **** more money out of the die hard fans of the series. I hated this game and it completely ruined the first games in the series.
