Pokemon FireRed Version Review

EDITORS' CHOICE

amazing

Pokemon FireRed, even with its "remake" status, stands on its own as an original product that fits the Pokemon franchise extremely well. Players, again, will find themselves spending weekends catching 'em all once more.

Official IGN Review

Summary

We've seen the future, and it's all about Pokémon FireRed and Pokemon LeafGreen. The new games are set in Kanto, the region where Pokémon first took root and exploded into a major phenomenon, and the latest titles stuff in tons of exciting new features.
