I got to play FR and LG today!!
 
There's a roadshow going around the UK. Today, they stopped in Bolton (the town in which I live), and I got to play several games before they were out. The main two games were Donkey Konga (which I really need to improve my rhythm for) and the main reason I went, Fire Red and Leaf Green on pretty cool looking GBA SPs.

It definately takes me back to the first games, but I do like the flashy new graphical update. Seeing my Bulbasaur in colour stomp all over Blue's Charmander right near the start was fun :-) Even played one game which had been carried on for ages, so there was a Charmeleon going around Mount Moon, and we got to kick some Team Rocket hiney. Ah, the memories...

So, just thought I'd brag a little by saying I managed to play Fire Red and Leaf Green before they were out :-p

thats awesome. now i want to play it ^_^

Toothache August 15th, 2004 9:50 AM

It's definately a blast from the past. Oh, I picked up Red and started again, just to refresh my memory a bit (it's been a few years since I last played)

Toothache August 15th, 2004 10:42 AM

What's so great about a ROM? I got to play the actual game rather than a cheap clone - in English too :-p

Midori Chi August 15th, 2004 11:24 AM

This one is in English,and you only got to play it,I have it,and I got it befor every one else,for free!,and its not a cheap clone,its the real thing,just on the computer.Thats whats so great about it

ArchAngel August 15th, 2004 5:23 PM

It was probbably translated by someone who screwed up something in the game. Besides toothache played a legal version :P
:fr: Deoxyman :fr:

Neko Keeshi August 15th, 2004 5:29 PM

Agreed. The one I played in Best Buy was the 100% american one. I cant WAIT for this to get out :)

ArchAngel August 16th, 2004 10:44 AM

adam513 August 16th, 2004 5:40 PM

~LOCKED~

Marill909 August 16th, 2004 5:49 PM

Thats strange, I bought the UK version of leaf green off ebay Im playing it as this very moment... But you say its not out yet in the UK???

Toothache August 16th, 2004 9:30 PM

However you got hold of that, the official release date in the UK is 1st October. Looking at your location, you're not in the UK, so that's a moot point :-p

You must have bought a fake copy. A ROM. You got ripped off. Did you get the wireless add-on with it?

Deoxys fan August 17th, 2004 8:09 AM

Killer cool
 
Ya know fr lg are hard to find these dayes.

Castrainer August 17th, 2004 8:16 AM

Cool News Toothy! I wish they had some cool events like that on Brazil >.>
And any Fr/Lg version that is on sale now IS A FAKE!

#1_lugia_fan August 19th, 2004 7:21 AM

i can't wait either. Actually, i reserved leaf green at the pokemon center NY. So i get mine on august 28.

BountyHunter August 20th, 2004 12:53 AM

Your lucky, I wish I lived in NY. :(

BountyHunter August 20th, 2004 12:54 AM

Yeah don't buy anything that says its FireRed or LeafGreen before August 28 or September 7th its a fake. :cool:

Toothache August 20th, 2004 1:48 AM

Don't double post... and yes, there should be a Pokemon Centre in the UK also.

Marill909 August 20th, 2004 6:53 PM

Yah the wireless came with it and worked... It looked real and it plays real too.

BountyHunter August 20th, 2004 9:37 PM

Could you post a pic of it?

samu August 20th, 2004 10:07 PM

I have to disagree with whoever said that anything that says fire red / leaf green before it comes out is a fake.

I've been to a few gaming stores in my area that have fire red and leaf green's that are playable in store, I even got to play on one for an extended amount of time (during a game tournament at the store)! It's quite possible that a few of those preview copies have gotten out to some secondary sellings and have been sold to people! I even asked a few stores if I could buy their preview versions~ but no one would let me have them. ;~;

Morkula August 21st, 2004 7:08 AM

I went to Wal-Mart Tuesday and they had Fire Red in the SP. I did a double-take when I saw it.
