Some types are strong against other types (e.g., Fire > Grass> Water > Fire). The game obviously focuses on Pokemon – whether that is in collecting them, battling them, or becoming the best trainer of them! In terms of collecting, players can explore grassy areas to find unsuspecting Pokemon to catch, or they can trade their Pokemon with others to collect all 150 original Pokemon! When I originally played Pokemon, I was not as interested in collecting, but in my old age I have actually come to love this aspect of the game because it opens up so many options in how players create their 6-Pokemon battling team! The more options – the better!Įach Pokemon has a particular type (e.g., Fire, Grass). While I won’t go into details, I appreciated this expansion because it made the game feel more like a genuine remake than a rehash!

Your rival (AKA Blue) and the pesky Team Rocket keep you on your toes as you make your way through the 8 gyms and finally battle the Elite Four. Unlike the original Red/Blue, the games’ story continues into a new region called the Sevii Islands. You start out as a 10 year old kid from Pallet town (AKA Red) with the goal of collecting all the Pokemon and becoming the very best Pokemon trainer there ever was. Like most Pokemon games (apart from maybe Pokemon Sun and Moon) – the story in Fire Red/Leaf Green is basic but sets the tone for a fun adventure. Having just finished the most recent Sun and Moon, I thought it would be fun to revisit the remake Fire Red that initially brought me into the series.

When the original Red and Blue came out, my bro and I decided that we will get each other the Pokemon games for our birthday.
