01Overview

Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. As the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green Versions, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games. The player chooses Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle as a first Pokémon, earns eight Gym Badges, battles the Elite Four and works to complete the Pokédex. Team Rocket is the criminal group that opposes the player. Abilities and Natures from Generation III now apply to the Kanto Pokémon. After the main story, the player can travel to the Sevii Islands, a new area. The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games and allows trading and battling without a Game Link cable. FireRed has some Pokémon that are not found in LeafGreen, so trading between the two is needed to complete the Pokédex.
