this game is great if you a old skool Pokémon fan and a newbie to the game this is almost the same as the original just with color and better graphics it is a must buy for the old skool poke' gamers lol like i said it has the old skool feel new system most remakes turn out bad but it sticks the original both are fun i have leaf green but i suspect they are almost the same just the usual one has about 10 different Pokémon you cant get in the other version and viseversa pick it up buy it what ever you like just see how far pokemon has come since the original 151 and where it all started

This game is basically blue with better graphics and more features. A bit of the storyline was changed too, but still WAY better than the original! Want a good pokemon game? Rent this!

The Expansion Pack to The Original Pokemon Games

For anyone who has ever played a "normal" pokemon game before, be warned - this one is not much different. That is a good, and bad thing, in Fire Red. Essentially this is a re-issue of an old classic (the original gameboy title), filled with everything that has already been used in later versions of it - such as breeding, two on two battles, and excellent graphics. The plot is the same as in the prior game, which is a little disappointing for those of us who have held onto this series for such a long amount of time. Something else that is the same is the number and selection of pokemon available. This title has the basic originals. That, for me, is a good thing. It is nice to revisit a time before the pokemon team clearly began struggling for new ideas of what monster could look like. It is nice to travel down memory road, and that is exactly what you do with this game. This is not so much a new experience as an expansion pack to an already good game. That is the main reasoning behind the Seven-score. Maybe a little more bonus content would have been nice. Something a little more fresh than what has been presented already. I wouldnt say the game is any better or any worse than the originals or the later titles, however I will say that this format and style of game, although very repeated, never seems to get TOO old. C +.

Welcome Back.

As I say again welcome back. Pokémon Fire Red is a reincarnation of the R/B/Y series. It has all the old memories that you can remember with some new bonuses such as breeding and updated graphics. All in all this game is a vast improvement over the rest of the series and should be in your gaming library a.s.a.p. The only negative i give this game is the music but that might just be me.

Graphics 10
Game play 11
Sound 8
Overall 9

Expect further reviews from the Closetkid.

Pokemon Fire Red the best pokemon game I have played but i would save up for a Nintendo DS cuz there are new pokemon games coming out "Pokemon Pearl" and "Pokemon Dimond" with 356 all new Pokemon but now back to Fire Red its like a new version of the old one of the the first gameboy that has the sqare games its called Red Version but this one has better graphics then the old one but when you first start out in your room go out your house in to the wild grass sombody will come up to and say stop its dangerous and he will take you some whare there you will find your cousin but that is whare you get your first Pokemon you get to choose between Charmander, Bulbisuar, and Sqertull and then your journey begains. you now train your pokemon for the gym battles and the elite 4 good bye

This adventure is in the Kanto Region. Your adventure starts here, at Pallet Town. Walk to the grass behind your house, then Professor Oak will appear. He takes you to his Lab, where you get your first Pokémon. Choose from either Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Squirtle. What I liked about this game was almost everything! Make it to Mt. Moon, and go through the cave that leads to Cerulean City. What I disliked about this game was that I can't beat Pokemon League! Your adventure ends here, Indigo Plateau.

This game, PokeMon Fire Red, really wasn't that interesting. The style was the same as Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. No major changes were made to the layout of the world, and many of the building looked like the ones in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. If you wanted a PokeMon game that was almost the same as all the others, just with the original PokeMon, this is the game for you, but if not, try PokeMon Red Rescue Team.

Well...

Well,it's okay.I say it's like Pokémon Yellow for gameboy advance without your starter walking outside it's pokeball. It is also cool with different islelands and all but,when you beet the elete 4 there is nothing to do.Also Mewtwo won't be much of a catch if you already caught Zaptos,Moltres,or Articono with your master ball.I say the best person to play this game would be someone that is playing Pokémon games for the first time.B+

This game seems like a repeat. It may have a different terrain and Pokémon, but it is still the same old storyline. Become the best! I gave it a 5, only because of the Pokémon.
