BLAINE | Pokémon FireRed Gameplay Walkthrough Part 4 | No Commentary NS2

Pokémon FireRed Version[a] and Pokémon LeafGreen Version[b] are 2004 remakes of the 1996 role-playing video games Pokémon Red and Green. They were developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. FireRed and LeafGreen were first released in Japan in January 2004 and was released in the same year as FireRed and LeafGreen versions in North America and Europe in September and October 2004, respectively. The games are part of the third generation of the Pokémon video game series and hold the distinction of being the first enhanced remakes of previous games within the franchise. As in previous games, the player controls their character from an overhead perspective and participates in turn-based battles. Throughout the games, the player captures and raises Pokémon for use in battle. Based in the Kanto Region, new features include a contextual help menu and a new area (Sevii Islands) the player may access after defeating the Elite Four and the Pokémon League Champion. The games have compatibility with the Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter, which originally came bundled with the games. The games received mostly positive reviews, obtaining an aggregate score of 81 percent on Metacritic. Most critics praised the fact that the games introduced new features while still maintaining the traditional gameplay of the series. Reception of the graphics and audio was more mixed, with some reviewers complaining that they were too simplistic and lacked improvement compared to the previous games, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. FireRed and LeafGreen were commercial successes, selling a total of around 12 million copies worldwide. Nearly two years after their original release, Nintendo remarketed them as Player's Choice titles. The games were released digitally for the Nintendo Switch on 27 February 2026, coinciding with the series' 30th anniversary,[2] selling around 4 million copies for a total of 16 million sales. As with all Pokémon role-playing games released for handheld consoles, FireRed and LeafGreen are in a third-person, overhead perspective. The main screen is an overworld, in which the player navigates the protagonist.[3] Here, a menu interface may be accessed, in which the player may configure their Pokémon, items, and gameplay settings.[4] When the player encounters a wild Pokémon or is challenged by a trainer, the screen switches to a turn-based battle screen that displays the player's Pokémon and the engaged Pokémon. During a battle, the player may select a move for their Pokémon to perform, use an item, switch their active Pokémon, or attempt to flee (in wild battles only). All Pokémon moves have power points (PP); when a Pokémon tries to perform a move while awake, the move's PP is reduced by 1. When the PP of a move hits zero, the Pokémon is not able to use that move. All Pokémon have hit points (HP); when a Pokémon's HP is reduced to zero, it faints and can no longer battle until it is revived. Once an opponent's Pokémon faints, all of the player's Pokémon involved in the battle receive a certain number of experience points (EXP). After accumulating enough EXP, a Pokémon will level up.[5] Capturing Pokémon is another essential element of the gameplay. During a battle with a wild Pokémon, the player may throw a Poké Ball at it. If the Pokémon is successfully caught, it will come under the ownership of the player. Factors in the success rate of capture include the HP of the target Pokémon and the type of Poké Ball used: the lower the target's HP and the stronger the Poké Ball, the higher the success rate of capture.[6] While FireRed and LeafGreen are remakes of Red and Green (Pokémon Green was only released in Japan, whereas the international variant was Blue), they contain usability enhancements such as a contextual tutorial feature, which allows players to look up data at any point in the game by pressing the select button. Additionally, when continuing a saved game, players are shown the last four actions they performed, aiding in remembering what they were previously doing.[7] #gameplay #gaming #nocommentary #walkthrough #nintendo #pokemon #pokemonfirered #gamefreak #pokemoncompany #nintendoswitch2 #gba #gbagames #gameboyadvance #pokemongame #pokemongameplay #pokemongames #pokémon #rpggames #roleplayinggame
