    Pokémon LeafGreen and Pokémon FireRed draw you into the mesmerizing world of strange little creatures no matter how many times you've been there before.

    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.
  3. 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.

    If anything, it is a faithful remake of the original and has a massive amount of content along with a fast paced battle system and a unique graphical style. Expand
  2. A good remake of the original. However, I felt it lacked the entertainment of the first and the new additions were underwhelming. A good pokemon game...but there are better. Expand

    Classic.
  4. Such an unneeded remake that was made simply to suck more money out of the die hard fans of the series. I hated this game and it completely ruined the first games in the series. Expand
