Originally released in autumn 2004, Pokémon: FireRed and Pokémon: LeafGreen return longtime trainers to the land of Kanto, which was featured in the original Pokémon: Red and Pokémon: Blue. Here, they'll collect new pocket monsters, uncover new secrets, and put a stop to another of Team Rocket's greedy schemes. Like earlier Game Boy editions, this autumn 2004 episode in the life-sim role-playing series is available in two slightly different versions. Both FireRed and LeafGreen take place in the same game world and follow the same storyline, but certain Pokémon are found more or less frequently in either version. Gameplay involves exploring the various regions of Kanto and engaging in Pokémon battles with other characters, who may offer information, items, or advancement when defeated. Players can also hunt through the countryside, in hopes of finding and capturing rare wild Pokémon that may live there. Pokémon collected in FireRed or LeafGreen can be traded among the immediately previous Ruby and Sapphire versions of the game, and with the GameCube's Pokémon Colosseum. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
