Do you Pokemon fans miss the old days? The days of black and white pixelated graphics? The days of catching all 151? The days of...well, I think you get the point. If you miss the original pokemon games, then this is the game for you! But, before you buy, I'm sure you'll want to know a few facts first.
The graphics have been totally redone! In full color and extensive detail, the graphics are *much* better than the average GBA game!
besides being the old game we all know and love, there is more than meets the eye! Natures (from the Ruby/Sapphire games) have been included! As well as Abilities, and the brand new moves from Ruby and Sapphire! Plus, two new forms of Deoxys, an upgraded Pokedex to show all 360+ Pokemon, and the most exciting addition, the Sevii Islands!
A group of seven islands, the Sevii islands are a refrshing addition. And since Pokemon (Ever since Gold and Silver) Pokemon can breed! Oh yeah, did I mention that there is a girl character now? In fact, the female character is based on the conceptual designs that they had wanted to include in Pokemon red and blue, but due to technological limitations, they couldn't add a female character in. Oh yeah, you can also get Shiny pokemon.
Shiny Pokemon are rare Pokemon, who are colored diffrently than usual. (I have a Golden Graveler, for instance) if u come across one, a thing of shimmery stars with appear around it. CATCH IT AT ALL COSTS!
Plus, you can get Johto Pokemon now too! (on the Islands) Unfortunately, you can only reach them after you defeat the Elite Four, which I, sadly have not yet. And this is why, folks, you should not have a Charizard go up against Lorelei of the Elite Four (99 percent of her Pokemon are half water type! -_-;)
Now, regarding the starter Pokemon. There are three starter Pokemon you can recieve at the start of the game.
Squirtle, a water type, Bulbasaur, a grass type, and,Charmander, a fire type.
Bulbasuar is a great choice for beginners, Squirtle is medium, and Charmander (Who evolves into Charizard) is hard. Unfortunately, I have a soft spot for Fire Types. Which, is slightly funny due to the fatc that I was a Grass type according to a quiz I took.
Basically, it's all about your personal type preference, since, no matter who you choose, you can still beat the Elite Four, and win all your badges. I'd suggest a Squirtle. A well rounded Pokemon who fares well, is not too easy to use, which provides a challenge, and not difficult to use either. Plus, it's so kawaii!
Now, before I end my review, I have a few noteworthy suggestions in creating a good Pokemon team.
*Don't use all ubers, like Mewtwo. It's just not fun to battle a guy with a Mewtwo, a Kyogre, a Deoxys, A Lugia, A Ho-oh, and a Groudon. (The exception to this rule is Mew, since she's sooooo kawaii!! (cute)
*Create a well rounded team. A good suggestion is to catch a Pidgey or Caterpie early in the game, and train, train, train! Currently, I have a Pidgeot named Jeannie(Lv 43) and a Butterfree named Aurora (Level 40) Who both kick seious butt. Oh yeah, and a Level thirty five Pikachu. Plus, my Charizard is at Level Seventy two. A completely uber team, without using ANY uber legendaries!
* Train train TRAIN! How else do you think Blaze the Charizard is how strong he is? You must train to suceed!
*DON'T use evolution stones early!! I made the mistake of giving one to my eevee, Now, he's a Flareon wit not many good moves. Train it first, then evolve it. It's VERY hard for Pokemon who used evolution stones to learn new moves. I'm waiting till Pikachu is level 45 or so to evolve her into a Raichu.
*Constantly battle In game trainers! It gives your Pokemon Epirience Points(Sorry, I can't spell that word XD)
Well, that's all you really need to know! Now, go out there and buy this great game!
Pokemon Fire Red Review by: boesche15 November 12, 2004

I am a fan of all pokemon games. I have bought every pokemon game that came out. This one is so far the absolute best pokemon game that has been made.I purchased the game right away. This is why I like it. Like in Ruby & Saphire version you also have runnig shoes which allow you to run instead of walk. You also gat a chance to battle the first 8 gym leaders. In this game you are able to catch almost any pokemon.Except for Ruby & Sapphire pokemon. But you are allowed to trade & battle between Ruby or Sapphire & Fire Red. Their are a lot of new awsome features like Battle Tower & The Sevvi & Rainbow Islands . It is a challenge to beat this game because you have to fill up your pokedex to 352 pokemon. But if you have Ruby or Sapphire it gets pretty easy. I purchased this game in September & I still have not beaten it.Even though I think its so fun that I play it every day. I reccommend this game to all pokemon fans. You will not regret buying it.
This game rocks! August 16, 2005

Pokemon Fire Red is a role playing game. The goal of the game is to catch and train Pokemon. New features to this game include the Sevi Islands. The Elite Four is harder than the ones in Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Other than that, it is a great game. It is definitely worth to buy. The game also comes with a wireless adaptor. By using the wireless adaptor, one is able to trade, chat, and battle wirlessly. It should be noted that the wireless adaptor can be used with other games. Buy it NOW!
