Alright, my Pokemaniac days are over but every now and then I'll pick a game up. Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are a revamped up version of Pokemon Red and Blue. Just five to six years ago Pokemon was THE game to get! I remember going to school with my gameboy to trade with other "trainers" all the time. This was THE game to own back then. Of course it isn't so much the same for me now but it is nice when a classic is revived. Unfortunately for Nintendo, its a shame that they work on a lot of the negative things about the previous games.
To begin, this game is no surprise to the Pokemon fan. The story has been the same since its release in 1999. You're a trainer striving to be the best trainer he or she can be. You go around the world collecting badges from the gyms all over to prove that you're a pokemon master. As the formula goes, you've got a rival and you fight other trainers throughout the game as well.
The gameplay has since its relase in '99 remained unchanged. It borrows elements from Ruby and Sapphire, the two on two battles but much like Ruby and Sapphire you don't get to enjoy those kind of battles too often. You run around the field getting into random encounters. You send a pokemon that you caught in the wild out to battle. You can carry up to six in your inventory at a time. On the field you can also find trainers to do battle with.
Perhaps what strikes me most about the game is that in battle looks a lot sharper and nicer than in the previous versions. Battle also paces a lot faster than before and the animations look a lot better as well.
The graphics have been updated to suit the GBA and they're absolutely gorgeous! They're smooth and look astonishing. The graphics are crisp and the game doesn't suffer too much from the pixel problem the GBA has. Very smooth and colorful as well. The only downside to the graphics is once again, in battle the graphics do not live up to the full potential of the GBA. They STILL only twitch to attack and never actually touch their enemy. In battle also still lacks color and scenery.
The sound, I wish I could say is good. But since the sound has only been updated to sound sixteen bit, that means its still a little annoying. The sound in the first release wasn't anything to jump around about and this re-release is no different. Some tunes actually sound a bit more annoying than before.
What has been unique about the Pokemon games is how after you've completed it there's more to do. Once you've completed the game you can catch more pokemon and challenge previous trainers to duel only their pokemon are at higher levels. You'll more than likely spend more time going through the aftermath of the game than the actual storyline itself.
Every Pokemon fan knows that the only way to completely master Pokemon is to catch 'em all. That's the reason for releasing two different versions. The only difference between the FireRed and LeafGreen games is simply the different pokemon you catch. Some pokemon are no availible in one version and therefore you must trade with the other version.
Perhaps the only BIG con is simply if you've got that brutally mastered file on the original GB version one and spent 200 hours doing it all to get everything you possibly could, you probably won't be too happy to do it all over again on virtually the same game and since you can't bring in your pokemon from the original Red and Blue, some may not be too pleased to have to raise all their pokemon all over again.
The Good
+Re-release of one of the best GB games out there
+Updated Graphics
+Addictive Gameplay
The Bad
-Still not enough Two-on-two battle action
-The sound is still rather annoying
-You can't trade with the original GB game or transfer over Pokemon in anyway.

This game is really good I just got my copy yesterday and I am very impressed even if it is a remake of the old ones. The only thing that really bugged me is that the wireless link cable takes up a lot of room and it only has a 10 feet radius. So it dosent go very far and theres really no point in the whole chat thing which by the way is really dumb because you have to hit every individual letter, talk about a long conversation. Also why whould they have chat I mean the person in ten feet away there is no need for it unless you are deaf. And then there is the whole like 50 people in the union room so there would be 50 people standing 10 feet away from eachother. The wireless cable was a good idea but unless you can walk and play your gameboy at the same time then you probobly wont like it. It needs to have a bigger radius. Customer Review: Pokemon Leaf Green ROCKS!

I have the pokemon ruby game, and its AWESOME! my best friend is CRAZED with pokemon! She was the one who got me into it. (And yes, I'm a girl too.) When I heard about the leaf green version, i thought, "Oh, it will probably be like all the others." Well, I was wrong. My friends dad works for the company I think, and she has the game, because she gets to test out all the new games and stuff. So I thought, "Ok, well I'll just go over and try it. I mean, its pokemon, how bad can it be?!" SO i went over, and stayed an extra TWO HOURS because I couldn't stop playing my gameboy. It takes place in the Kanto regoin, like in Red and Blue, but has seven new rainbow islands. It has a lot of good graphics, and you can choose a name for your rival! (I'm pretty sure you can't do that in any other pokemon game...) Its really good, and I advise it to any one, girl or boy, and any age. (Unless you're two......)
Oh yeah! And, it comes with a wireless adaptor, that can let you battle and talk with people you DON'T KNOW in a range around you! It's good to do it in traffic, or in a crowded area. It's really fun, and I think everyone will enjoy it!
