Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004.
As the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green Versions, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.
The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for Game Link Cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokémon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately.
FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.

My second COVID isolation game is a fan game based off of Pokemon Fire Red.

Pokemon Radical Red.
Basically adds all other gen pokemon to the game, ups the difficulty, adds a bunch of options to customise that challenge. Adds "visiting gym leaders" randomly around the world. Puts a level cap on your team that can't be exceeded until you progress passed Gym leaders.
It's challenging, but it's nice to play a pokemon game with some bite after the absolute cake walk that was Pokemon Brilliant Diamond.

Now that scarlet/violet is coming out, I want to play all of them and really dive in to see… what makes Pokémon games so special…I’ll be playing the best version of each games except let’s go. So I’m starting with fire red first. After I’m done with this, I’ll do a ranking. Wish me luck on my journey.

I had forgotten how easy it is to break the game. Just grind a bit (not even that much) and your pokémon become incredibly overpowered and kill almost everything with one or two moves.
Also, WTF?! There's a move called Water Sport and the animation looks as dirty as the attack sounds. 😬

Been looking into Pokémon games and it's crazy how many remakes and remasters there are. Decided to start FireRed for the added nostalgia from the old Red, which was the only one I played and finished.

Leafgreen was my very first pokemon game ever, it changed my life forever. The graphics were 100 times better than its predecessors (I knew nothing of this at the time, because I started on it first). The gameplay and story was improved (Still knew nothing about it, my mind was being blown for completly different reasons). But even all that …
Read moreLeafgreen was my very first pokemon game ever, it changed my life forever. The graphics were 100 times better than its predecessors (I knew nothing of this at the time, because I started on it first). The gameplay and story was improved (Still knew nothing about it, my mind was being blown for completly different reasons). But even all that is and was insignificant to me, as it showed me the beautiful and wonderful world of pokemon, taught me to cherish and raises my pokemon, taught me how to be a battler, even helped me along my path to becoming the pokemon world champion... TWICE! (Eat your heart out Red) and beating the many elite four teams multiple multiple times was pretty cool too. I would definently suggest this game, and any pokemon game to kids teens or adults of any age. With a warning to go with the recommendation. "Im the best there ever was or is. train hard if you wanna beat me, I look forward to it"
