Today is Wednesday 25 September, 2024 File:Pokemon FireRed boxart EN-US.jpg Happy anniversary, FireRed and LeafGreen On this day in 2004, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen were released in Japan. These games remade the classic adventures first played in Pokémon Red and Green (Pokémon Red and Blue internationally). Released within the third generation, these games added many features to those included in the original games while keeping the same main plot. These include the incorporation of a female player character, natures, Abilities, genders, and hold items. All Pokémon thus far released were made obtainable in-game or through trading or events. Most Hoenn-native Pokémon were not included through normal play, but can be traded from Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. Pokémon from Johto can be found in an exclusive area south of Kanto, the Sevii Islands. Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions can evolve when their usual conditions are met, but only if the National Pokédex has been obtained. Music and graphics have been remastered to make the most of the Game Boy Advance processing engine. Remixed tracks from Pokémon Gold and Silver are used in some areas. These games were the first of two sets of remakes, followed by Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Each pair of games was released ten years after the originals. Many fans hope that a similar tenth anniversary remake of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire will be released this year to accompany Pokémon Black and White as part of the fifth generation. Read more...
