Pokemon Version Differences: Red & Blue vs FireRed & LeafGreen

The Version Differences series is back with remakes, starting with FireRed and Leafgreen, which were some of the first videogames I ever played! So just how different are they from the originals?

The vast majority of the stills and clips were taken from my own games, with the odd one courtesy of Bulbapedia/Serebii.

*17 dingus points awarded to those who read the whole description* But yeah, the series is back with remakes! Which did you play first: Red and Blue, or FireRed and Leafgreen?

my mom walks into my room when nidoran male and female are on screen and this is what my mom says "They look like Jurasic dinosaur bunnies" then i look at them and realise that they look like dionosaur bunnies.

Charmander's Metal Claw is the single biggest difference between the classic games and the remakes.

One of my favourite addition to Fr/LG is the vs seeker- grinding suddenly became more bearable!

CandyEvie: *Sees shiny Pokemon quite often* Gosh darn it!! Wrong shinieh!!
Me: *Puts 1200+ hrs into FireRed and doesn't see one pretty-pretty shiny-shiny*

The problem is you're not shiny hunting the sentret while eating chocolate.

So I tried out blue and fire red again. Misty is so much harder in Fire Red! Her Starmie is so much stronger with Water Pulse. Pikachu had no trouble against Starmie in Blue, but then in Fire Red it gets destroyed by Water Pulse.

I love FireRed and Leaf Green, brilliant remakes. I would happily throw money at my screen if Nintendo brought the GBA Pokemon games to the Virtual Console on the Switch, and linked them to the Poke Bank. I would also get Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald for some old school Hoenn action also. Come on Nintendo, make it happen.

After finishing Pokemon Fire Red blindly, i just realised that there is even more content they made than what i originally thought, a Pokemon Red remake with colors

[internetdog]

Aaaah... The nostalgia :) FireRed was my first Pokémon game. It has a special place in my heart.

I was opposite in that when I played the remakes I was so confused when Moltres wasn’t in victory road, but Mt. Ember was an awesome addition, the whole sevii islands were amazing

... You all are making me feel old. I'm only 22, but my first handheld game ever was Pokemon Red. I loved it to death, and it practically taught me how to read. I loved all the glitches I could discover throughout the years, or like when I was 9 when I finally discovered the Mew glitch. I feel like there kids here who don't remember a time without Youtube... I used to read all of these supposed "secrets" on several websites, trying all of them before I found the one that actually worked for getting Mew. Please don't insult my childhood if you prefer the remakes.

FireRed and LeafGreen's post game sounds like a confusing mess. Maybe that's why I never played through the post game when I was a kid xP

CandyEvie is just the most likable tuber. I just played the most frustrating, non-stop horror game session ever and was filled with so much rage and dread. It wasn’t 6 minutes into revisiting this to be able to drain all of that out. I love.

Someday there will be a fire red and leaf green remake...




Hopefully psyduck is op in that game.

CandyEvie: Wrong Shiny! NOOOO!
Me: A SHING OMG MY FIRST SHINY!




Edit: I caught a shiny nidoran in HeartGold and a shiny Caterpie and Weedle in let’s Go YAY
