I will say that it does not look as good as Ruby and Sapphire, but it is as you would expect a leap from Pokémon Red on the original Game Boy. This is a remake of a game from 1996 that was on the original Game Boy and I think they did a pretty solid job in terms of the game’s presentation. The game is rather basic in comparison to the four other Pokémon games on the Game Boy Advance that came before so I would have really liked to have seen them add in the contests here. This difficulty may take a while to get used to, but it just forces you to be a better trainer and to go and grind and make your Pokémon stronger. I found the gym leaders here far more challenging than in the other Game Boy Advance Pokémon games. Pokémon FireRed does not screw around and I forgot how difficult the first Pokémon game was. You then need to train your Pokémon, capture new ones and level them up so that they are fit for battle. I have and always will be a Charmander man by the way. You need to pick your starter Pokémon from Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. They did add in some cool stuff like running shoes, a female hero and rival not to mention plenty of new moves for your Pokémon to do. At the same time those who missed out back in 1996, can see how this Pokémon craze really started.

I think that the story works quite well in that it is very nostalgic for those who played it on the original Game Boy. You will be exploring all kinds of areas and coming across some pretty interesting folks on your travels. It is a pretty charming story and features many cool things such as Team Rocket.
