Magnemite, for example, gains the Steel Type alongside its original Electric, so he can now be punched to bits by Fighting Pokemon or burned by Fire Types the early game Trainer who drops one on you in Mt. Little things like Pokemon gaining new Types and therefore new strengths and weaknesses are a good example of this. This gives veterans of the franchise some new things to deal with while the region of Kanto might no longer surprise you one can still get caught off guard once or twice by the changes made to once-familiar Pokemon. Aspects such as the new Types (Steel and Dark), friendship, breeding, and Abilities have all been carried forward from the games released after Red / Blue / Yellow. Where FireRed / LeafGreen has seen changes is certainly in the gameplay. If you were expecting a bit more on that front – and I’d say that’s fair, a remake should feel free to expand upon its original self – do prepare to be a bit disappointed. The plot is thin on the ground and in that respect FireRed / LeafGreen is a faithful remake. You defeat them, and all the other obstacles in your way, by training a balanced team of monsters, taking advantage of the series’ now familiar elemental types to battle your way to victory. Your take one, your rival takes another, and off you set on your journey to catch all the critters and defeat every Gym Leader on your road to becoming the Champion Trainer of all Kanto.Īs you progress on your path, you’ll run afoul of the evil Team Rocket, a gang of miscreants who want to make a quick profit by exploiting Pokemon.
The local Pokemon Professor, Oak, gifts you a rare Pokemon: the dumpy seed-backed Bulbasaur, the flame-tailed lizard Charmander, or the tiny turtle Squirtle. Released Jan 2004 | Developed: Game Freak | Published: NintendoĪs before, you are a young kid in Pallet Town, a sleepy village on the coast of Kanto. I love the original releases dearly, so these should be right up my alley, yes? I mentioned in my Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald review that those games were the last entries that I had any substantial nostalgia for, which puts FireRed / LeafGreen into a very peculiar place for me. Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are reworked versions of the original entries, Red / Blue, for the GBA, and make use of the upgrades since the late ‘90s.
This is especially true as franchises start to spread across consoles it ought to come as no surprise that Pokemon started to remake titles on later consoles and handhelds, given the series’ core concept of community gaming, trading, and battling. There’s one thing with long-running series: you always get remakes eventually.
