    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.

    FireRed and LeafGreen should appeal to those who wish to relive the original Red/Blue experience with updated graphics and conveniences.

    Once again, the Pokemon crew create a game that works extremely well for the handheld market. It doesn't have quite the same variety as Ruby/Sapphire, but it's still incredibly satisfying.

    I can't help but shake the feeling that Nintendo cut corners on this game – with both the engine and the storyline already made – and this drags the score down.

    If you like wasting small bits of time here and there with your GBA - and especially if you're new to the series - this is still the best thing you get get on the portable. [Nov 2004, p.134]

    I haven't had any desire to catch 'em all for damn near five years now, but this remake lured me back into the critter-collecting biz. [Nov 2004, p.153]

    The new additions don't add up to more than what we call an expansion pack for a PC game.

A lot of nostalgia is in these games because it’s the first Pokémon region that has been ever made - Kanto and you choose as starters either Charmander, Squirtle or Bulbasaur.… Expand

There is a lot of post game content too, as well with being available to trade with RSE gba titles to fill up the National Dex more quickly.
    Worth possessing if you ask me.    … Expand
