Pokémon FireRed Version 2004

NINFETAFAT S 10.0 · 05/11/2026

For me it’s definitely in the top best games of all time, I’ve never been a fan of turn-based combat, but this game manages to hook me. I’m already tired of losing everything in all possible ways.

Amazing, the only problem is Nintendo thinking they can sell it without dubbing for 100 pila, but it's a blast, recommend it to anyone who never played the old Pokémon games.

Pokémon FireRed Version is an adventure and Role-playing (RPG) game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo, released on 29 January 2004.

Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004. 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 Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for Game Link Cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokémon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately. FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.

The player is a young Trainer from Pallet Town in the Kanto region who sets out on a journey after receiving a starter Pokémon and a Pokédex from Professor Oak, who asks them to help record every kind of Pokémon. Traveling across the region, the player captures and trains Pokémon and challenges Gym Leaders to earn badges that grant entry to the Pokémon League. Along the way, a friendly rival repeatedly tests the player's team, and the criminal group Team Rocket must be stopped as they scheme to exploit Pokémon for their own ends.
