    Completely a reminder of the classical catch and battle monster RPG. Everything is handled with care , also the addition to get more pokemon, for the Ruby, Saphire and Emerald.

    Such an Amazing game. All the things that i loved in Pokémon Red for the GB, but no with such better graphics. Long game-play time, I played it for 90 hours.

    Fire red is a game that i played a lot of times, I can't tell how many and every time I really enjoy it. It's just a classic Pokemon game without any gimmics. Fire red improves on graphics, but i can't really tell if it sounds better than original, hard to tell. Also adds running shoes which is very important.

    I think this may have been my first Pokemon game. I named my charizard "big mama" because it was female. The music makes me nostalgic and in general it was an awesome classic pokemon game!

    Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you THE Pokemon. none of that Black and White gamees BS. This is what Pokemon is and holds. All though the originals is what started it for me, this game brought back many memories and warmed my heart up. Its really a shame were the Pokemon franchise has now gone. Its just milked for money and no different than Call of Duty. This is a great way to reliveLadies and Gentleman, I present to you THE Pokemon. none of that Black and White gamees BS.

    This is one of the best RPGs ever made, with amazing graphics and a great storyline. This game is one of the best games for the GBA and one of the best Pokemon games. 10/10

    It is superior to the original Pokemon Red but I think Sapphire were better. This remake is unique because it includes the Sevii Islands, an extra area that will entertain you after you beat the main part of the game.

    Personally my favourite Pokemon game. It's next to flawless, I seriously can't find anything wrong with this game. From stunning visuals/designs and an amazing storyline/gameplay/adventure (granted it's a remake but still) Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green are perfect.

    В первый раз, когда я поиграл в эту игру, она мне подарила новый игровой опыт. Это было что - то новое, ранее неизведанное. Игра поразила своим геймплеем, гениальностью, масштабом и одновременно простотой. Идеальная игра по всем аспектам.В первый раз, когда я поиграл в эту игру, она мне подарила новый игровой опыт.

    simple but good, I would say some of the recent era pokemon games surpasses it but its better than the gameboy originals and that dreadful hgss (only pokemon game I consider in the bad category), the gba visuals are very fitting for the pokemon journey too

    un muy buen juego que mejora el mapa, la historia y sobre todo el gameplay de el pokemon rojo original es el pokemon default con buena dificultad, historia y region de pokemon pero no es sorprendente en ningún aspecto

    For being a remake of the old-vintage Pokémon Red, is done perfectly.
    The story is remade well, the sprites of the Pokémon are gorgeous, the RNG of the Pokémon are nice. 8/10

    This game is a perfect remake of the red and blue versions-the graphics have been remastered , the gameplay is fantastic and it powerfully engages its audience. May i reccomend that you start the game with Charmander and pick up a Pikachu in viridian forest early and evolve it after it learns thunderbolt - beleive me youll need a good electric type. From there , enjoy yourself and burn This game is a perfect remake of the red and blue versions-the graphics have been remastered , the gameplay is fantastic and it powerfully engages its audience.

    This game was built to appeal to both the veterans of the series and the new folks just itching to give Pokemon a try. It's a fair bet that the fans will get this game without much hesitation.

    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]
