    Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green are two magnificent games that pull off an amazing remake of two of the greatest titles in the franchise, however, I felt that there was a lot of room for improvement.
  2. Most of the improvements are minor and unsurprising, but taken as a whole make the new games much better and more refined experiences than the originals.

    If you're just a passive Pokémon fan looking for a new pickup, this isn't worth it for you. Stick with Ruby or Sapphire, and that will be plenty of Pokémon for you. Remaking a game that is only 6 years old just smacks of laziness, and Pokémon fans deserve better.

    Awesome. It has a nice atmosphere of new but classic. Also the gameplay is one of the most fun in the pokemon series. The graphic is charming and the Sevii Islands add a lot to the gameplay. Expand
