Pokemon Fire Red Review by: boesche15

I am a fan of all pokemon games. I have bought every pokemon game that came out. This one is so far the absolute best pokemon game that has been made.I purchased the game right away. This is why I like it. Like in Ruby & Saphire version you also have runnig shoes which allow you to run instead of walk. You also gat a chance to battle the first 8 gym leaders. In this game you are able to catch almost any pokemon.Except for Ruby & Sapphire pokemon. But you are allowed to trade & battle between Ruby or Sapphire & Fire Red. Their are a lot of new awsome features like Battle Tower & The Sevvi & Rainbow Islands . It is a challenge to beat this game because you have to fill up your pokedex to 352 pokemon. But if you have Ruby or Sapphire it gets pretty easy. I purchased this game in September & I still have not beaten it.Even though I think its so fun that I play it every day. I reccommend this game to all pokemon fans. You will not regret buying it.

Try this game-- it is very fun!!

This is a wonderful game, where you catch and train pokemon and become the best trainer in the world. It is very fun!! Hook up with a Wireless adapter and you can battle, trade, play games, and more with your friends!

Disappointing...

This game sounded fun when I first heard about it. Once I started playing it, I knew that my money had not been spent well. Fire Red is too much like the old version Red. I would not recommend either game for Pokemon starters. [...]. The graphics are much better and you can get more Pokemon (such as Jirachi or Deoxys).

one of the best pokemon games yet

This is a very fun game for people that have not played the original red version. But for the people that have it is still fun because of the additions of the different islands. Plus it comes with a wireless adapter so you can play games, chat, trade and battle wirelessly. Plus the graphics are much better than the original versions except for ruby and sapphire. this is definitly the best pokemon game they've created. My favorite part about the game is the inproved graphics and the adition of the islands and the wireless adapter. The reason I like these parts is because I have played the original red version and compared to this game it is supreme. I would recommend this game to older people as well as younger people becaus it is fun and also challenging for the mind. Because you have to cordinate you team and solve pulles, like the one in victory road when you have to push a certain block into just the right place. In all I would recommend this game to everyone.

Pokemon Addiction

I had not played Pokemon games before--I was under the wrong impression that they were just for children and then there was a lot of media attention on Fire Red and Leaf Green--I was going on a long trip so I got Fire Red. It takes a lot of memorization skills to play Pokemon games WELL so adults can enjoy these games, in my opinion. For those who haven't played before, Pokemon are actually VERY intricate and there are different TYPES of Pokemon so you have to remember their abilities and what types can easily beat other types and you switch Pokemon in battle depending on their strengths and abilities. Of course the graphics on this game are very, very good. What I liked best was the ability to get ingame help and for some reason it just really tickles me to see the little hand pick up my Pokemon and move them to or from the storage boxes. I also like the fact that when I turn the game on it rehashes the last few things I did before stopping gameplay last time. This is really good for me because I don't get to play everyday and if too much time goes by, I do forget my last "moves". I also have Pokemon Crystal for GBC and, I think it is a little easier...so if you'd like to try Pokemon, maybe that is a better game to learn first...Both have been very fun and entertaining for this adult gamer. Gotta catch 'em all...

I love this remake, the new features add more enjoyablity to the original game. If you enjoy the Pokemon games, or never played before, get this game first.

This game is equally fun as Pokemon Red and Blue. It has the same exact stuff in it. I don't get the point in doing a remake though. Maybe I am just dissing because I am stuck. Way better though but I got through the origanl versions better.

This game rocks!

Pokemon Fire Red is a role playing game. The goal of the game is to catch and train Pokemon. New features to this game include the Sevi Islands. The Elite Four is harder than the ones in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Other than that, it is a great game. It is definitely worth to buy. The game also comes with a wireless adaptor. By using the wireless adaptor, one is able to trade, chat, and battle wirlessly. It should be noted that the wireless adaptor can be used with other games. Buy it NOW!

Pokemon Firered

Now before you "sterotypers" say, "it's a freakin pokemon game! That's for little kids" do yourself a favor and go slap yourself; Pokemon is like any other RPG, except it has nostalgia written all over it.
Firered is a remake of the first Pokemon game released on the Game Boy back in the late 90s. This "remake" features upgraded graphics, sound, and the same gameplay, which some other people may call linear, but it depends on how you play it.
The only thing "new" about this remake is the fact that you can equip items onto pokemon like its previous predecessor (Ruby and Sapphire) and while veterans may get tired of "catching them all" hardcore gamers can now get the rest of their Pokemon collection now that this version and Leafgreen is released.
