Pokémon FireRed Version

Immerse yourself in the adventure once again in Pokémon FireRed Version!
Mild gambling references

This is the English language version.

The thrill of the Kanto region, as well as familiar Pokémon, are just as you remember them – with updated graphics compared to the original Game Boy title. The Sevii Islands – not present in Pokémon Red Version – have also been added, greatly expanding the areas you can explore and the scope of your adventure.

Some excitement doesn’t fade no matter how many years pass. Whether it’s choosing your first partner Pokémon, confronting a sinister organisation or encountering a legend, a world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits. Let’s go!

It is planned to make this title compatible with Pokémon HOME in the future.
