Firered and Leafgreen are the remakes of the original games, Red and Blue. They were released in January 29, 2004 in Japan, and in America were released in September 9, 2004 in North America. 11.82 million copies were sold of the game, and many people received the game August 28, 2004 if they had preordered the game.

New Features

Many new features include the great graphics, more Pokemon from the Johto and Hoenn regions, and being able to be compatible with the Gamecube RPG games and other games. After completing the storyline, the player can go to some islands that hold Johto and Hoenn Pokemon and events. The games aren't the actual remakes of the games they are modeled after. They have some similarities, but new features, such as the 'Help' section, the V.S. Seeker (a device used to find old trainers that are willing to battle again), and Move Tutors or the people that take away HM moves. Trainers can also go into the Union Rooms, in which they can go interact with other trainers.

New Pokemon!

Well not exactly, but the Pokemon from the Johto and Hoenn regions are now availible in these games! Once the storyline in complete, the Sevii Islands are open to players. The islands have the Pokemon and events that Silver/Gold/Crystal and the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games do. Now you can collect a lot of Pokemon in one game! New Pokemon include Deoyxs, which can be caught on one of the Rainbow Islands.

Different Storyline?

The storyline will basically be the same, just with a few tweaks on the Sevii Islands, and new items for your character to use. You still have to battle that annoying Team Rocket, and you still have the same cute starter Pokemon: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander.
