I bought this version right when it came out. It is worth the buy. It is like a redone red version with better graphics, and new stuff such as the islands. If you liked the old pokemon versions, be sure to buy this one. It is very close to the old ones, but better in my opinion.
FR is a remake of Red version for game boy advanced.
It's just about like the red version as far as storyline and such. The graphics have been updated, you can be a GIRL! It shows you were you last left off after you turn it on, a GREAT feature if you loose it and forgot where you were! It has better pokemon boxes and pokemon icons!
This totally blows away red version (in terms of graphics, etc.), but you cant beat a classic!
I enjoyed playing previous versions of Pokemon so I got this version quickly. Pokemon Firered is a remake of Pokemon Red. Awesome graphics and hours of fun!
A few stuff you should before purchasing a copy is that the Pokemon Firered versions that say "Player's Choice" on the box do not come with the Wireless Adaptor.
If you are purchasing Firered on Ebay, please be careful. Many sellers are known to sell bootleg (unauthentic, ungenuine, fake, etc.) versions of it. Please read the following links provided to help you decide if a seller is selling a real or fake version of a GBA game. Has a bad website name, but it had the most info on bootleg GBA games:

I'm sorry that this review doesn't describe much of the game itself, it is just that it bothers me to see so many people bidding on bootleg games. Please read other users' reviews for details on the game or search the game on Google and Wikipedia. I hope that this review will help somebody spot authentic games. :D
The game was fantastic, I would reccomed the seller to other ebay users. What a pleasant experience, sorry I was so late in replying I wrote a review but I guess the page didn't load properly. GREAT PURCHASE thanks for the game!
I haven't even received my purchase. It's been over a month and still I have seen no sign of it. I don't know what happened, if it got mixed up in the mail or if the person just didn't send it, but things like this are the reason why I do not trust eBay at all. I haven't bought anything from here in a long time, and after this, I doubt I will again any time soon.
I wanted to buy Pokemon Fire Red so that I could train all my favorite pokemon again and I'm glad I have that opportunity. There was a little...incident where all my favorites were deleted forever so I'm starting anew.
I love this game. I am so used to pokemon red, blue, and yellow that I needed something similar to it and this is it. This is pretty much the same, it's just been updated. If you've played red, blue, or yellow then I would recommend this game as well.
I love Pokemon. Played the original Pokemon games when they first came out. This game really restored an old classic (Blue/Red Version) and added new goodies. Must get for avid Pokemon fan.
Although you have great prices your poor excuse was that you did not receive information for a few days. I bid and paid for this item on the same day. I also paid for expedited shipping that cost me almost as much as my purchase. You did not ship it on time and I actually paid for expedited shipping and receive regular USPS delivery. It took me a week to receive my purchase and I could not get it to my grandson in time for his birthday. I really expected better service and not a poor excuse as to why I did not get it. I would not recomment this company for any purchases that you need or expect short of 7 to 10 days after your purchase.
Great explanation! Great Transaction speed!!! Lots more to buy at this site too!!! Thank YOU!!! I loved that it felt safe all through the transaction. I decided to buy because of the rating of the seller and that there was very accurate info.
We didn't have extra money at Christmas to get my boys games for the GBAs'. It was a good product at a reasonable price and it made my boys happy. Thank you for such a good experience.
i love it its one of the funnest games i've played. So many pokemon and variety it makes me want to play it for hours and hours at a time. thank you so much for this game. i will play it till i cant handle anymore.
My sons are really into pokemon and love it. My sons are 9 and 4 and they both are able to play this. They can also connect to the gamecube and they can store their pokemon characters on there.
The graphics are great in this game and it really keeps the kids busy and intrigued. Seems like all my grandkids love anything that has to do with pokemon.
It is like new !!!!!! Seller is very cooperative....I bid on other Item but my wife bought it from other place so I requested for exchange or refund and I got fast & positive reply....and Seller has sent me defferent product so It was nice in all......
