Pokémon FireRed does not screw around and I forgot how difficult the first Pokémon game was. You then need to train your Pokémon, capture new ones and level them up so that they are fit for battle. I have and always will be a Charmander man by the way. You need to pick your starter Pokémon from Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. They did add in some cool stuff like running shoes, a female hero and rival not to mention plenty of new moves for your Pokémon to do. At the same time those who missed out back in 1996, can see how this Pokémon craze really started. I think that the story works quite well in that it is very nostalgic for those who played it on the original Game Boy. You will be exploring all kinds of areas and coming across some pretty interesting folks on your travels. It is a pretty charming story and features many cool things such as Team Rocket.
