So, This is my Fist review in like 3 years so I might be a bit rusty.

Ok, I'll Be honest, Im now 24 years old, you ask yourself why is a Us Army solider playing Pokemon, well lets face it, it portable and im deployed....they go hand in hand. Now, The only Pokemon Game's I have ever played are Red, Gold, And Ruby, and I only beat red lol. I first got started in Pokemon because i saw it on TV and I heard it was a game, so(this next part might get me arrested) because i was to poor to buy a gameboy and a game at the time, I downloaded the rom for it. I know I know, when I learned the best part of the game was battling others the rom part got old. So I begged for it for Christmas, and I got it. If you all remember the original graphics, Black & white crap, but hey 150 possible Monsters to capture that was way advanced to me so I got addicted like most kids at the time and played the crap out of it till I got all 150 of them suckers.

Then Gold came out, and i said "wow a hundred more, no way!". So I got that one to, to me it was too much to take in at once, time, night and day, cell phone....ok hold the * up. I quit it. (besides i was getting older anyways)

So then I grew up and joined the army and got bored over sea's, so i bought a gameboy SP and to my suprise "Fire Red". I thought a color remake to Red sounds awsome, I knew every thing about that game(keep in mind I have not played anything past gold at this time) .

Once the game started I was doing great, it was an awsome stroll down memory lane, to see the new colors, and towns come to life it was an outstanding upgrade, Till I beat the Elite 4 lol

Then the whole thing chaned, New Islands, new pokemon, greater chalanges. It was well worth the replay.

It got me started back into the addiction of pokemon and I still cant put it down.

My final Comment is A must have for any Pokemon Fan out there. My only Hope is that they do a remake of pokemon yellow so that the player gets the feel from the show again.

P.S. I know this review sucks but im trying to get back into the swing of things so please be kind lol

    Pokemon Red and Blue on the original Game Boy were released way before their times. The hardware could barley support the game itself and the game was so bugged up because of it. 6 years later comes FireRed and LeafGreen... Read Full Review
