The game features the great role-playing adventure that Pokémon® fans love, while expanding the quest to include awesome new features and locations. Pokémon FireRed version and Pokémon LeafGreen version build on all previous Pokémon games to create the ultimate Pokémon experience.

Pokémon is the coming-of-age story of an 11-year-old boy or girl who is given his or her first Pokémon and sets off on a quest to become the best trainer in the world -- an ultimate Trainer. Enter the region of Kanto, where you start your journey in your home of Pallet Town, aided only by your first Pokémon and then your Pokédex, given to you by Professor Oak. From there you travel the region, raising and training your Pokémon for battle. You compete against other trainers at the Pokémon Gyms and earn badges toward your goal. The Pokémon you collect come in all shapes and sizes, from many different types with different strengths and weaknesses -- Fire, Water, Grass, Psychic, Electric and more.
