Always Fire Red and not Leaf Green!!
 
How come everyone is always talking about how they bought Fire Red. It is always Fire Red this and Fire Red that. I bought Leaf Green and have played Fire Red, and there is no difference to them. Can some one tell me what is the big deal with Fire Red?

aRedMoon October 10th, 2004 11:45 AM

The name appeals more I guess.

Fire always seems to be more "dangerous" than a Leaf...

SkinnyGreenMan October 10th, 2004 11:49 AM

FireRed has more pokemon obtainable that are unobtainable in Ru/Sa. If you combined pokedexes for FireRed and Ru/Sa, you would come out with mor than if you combined pokedexes with LeafGreen and Ru/Sa.

Also, LeafGreen is a remake of the Japanese green verson. We got the blue verson at first, so people might like FireRed since it is still a remake of one of our games.

Also, most people like the idea of a Red game than a Green game. Who likes Venasaur better than Charizard? Charizard is an old favorite.

Hope that helps.

leaf green is not a remake of japanes green, leaf green is a remake of blue,
and what you say about the pokedex may be true but only by 2 pokemon.

also THey are the same, and people buy more fire red than leaf green cause charizard comes in the portrait and fire is cooler.

Know what i prefer LG. More exclusive.


And FR/LG are the same game with different pokes in some areas so dont say stupid reamke things.

Sorry, but that's not quite right. :P

LeafGreen is a remake of Japanese Green, which is English Blue. :P

!Dragonite! October 10th, 2004 12:01 PM

Because most people bought firered because it had charizard on the front<<<XD I know that is why I bought it XD>> And when ever they talk about their game they refer to it as fire red because that is the one that they have.

SkinnyGreenMan October 10th, 2004 12:02 PM

I got LeafGreen because it is the only green pokemon game in america *points to name*.

Aaryn October 10th, 2004 12:04 PM

man leaf green is the same as fire red, and is the remake of green/blue

green/blue were the same games, but green had different pkmn sprites.


No big deal about it.

Shigeru October 10th, 2004 2:40 PM

I call it Leaf Green all the time. The reason I like it more than Fire Red is because it's a new color. To Americans that is..

Simon October 10th, 2004 3:07 PM

I don't really care. They're both the same to me. I bought LG. If I had bought FR, the end result would stil lbe the same (which would be me shoving piles of codes into the thing)

Pounce October 10th, 2004 4:25 PM

-shrugs- I have both. o_o and I don't think it's all about fire red, I've seen plenty of people talk about their LG game instead. it's just one of those things that depends on preference.

AdamHays October 10th, 2004 4:53 PM

Because more people like charizard better then Venusaur.at least thats my opinion why.

cranium October 10th, 2004 5:41 PM

i bought fire red because my mate bought leaf green ( to help each other with specfics eg.slowbro ) the same as i bought sapphire and my mate bought ruby

Simon October 10th, 2004 8:12 PM

Eh...my little sister just bought FireRed today. I told her to get FR since I already had LG anyways. She's at the Celadon Gym now...she got there faster than I did..and I cheated too...

Dizzy October 10th, 2004 8:17 PM

I have Leaf Green... Green is supposed to be the In Color this year, and even if it wasn't...definately Green over Red... (Plus Ivysaur isss sooooo cute so thats why i got it)

Kagato October 10th, 2004 8:21 PM

Well, there has been so many explinations I still dont know what the reason is. Anyway, I like Leaf Green much better.

PazzKat October 10th, 2004 8:53 PM

I blame it on the fact that Fire Red is more easy to type then Leaf Green. Shorter, plus the keys are bunched more. It is just a theory so don't mind me. Anyways, It doesn't matter too much does it?

Dizzy October 10th, 2004 8:59 PM

It could also be that Red is the color of intimidation... In olden times, Armies used to wear red to scare off little forces that were in they're way, as gay as it sounds..

T.W North October 10th, 2004 10:00 PM

There IS no difference in my eyes. Its all because of the box and the name. Fire is the thing that gets people and the fact the Charizard is better than Venasaur. But like if people will always start off with the pokemon on the front of the box? I started with Squirtle.(I have Leaf Green). People at my school are always saying "Fire Red is better than Leaf Green, sucked in." I always reply that I like the pokemon that you can get in Leaf rather than the pokemon that you can get in Fire. I mean, some people say that I shouldve gotton Fire Red, doesnt that mean that they wouldnt be able get all the pokemon then?

Wow, that was nice rant...

Simon October 10th, 2004 10:06 PM

Charizard is better than Venusaur??? Pfft...Sleepleacher will pwn that thing.

I don't know anyone that plays Pokemon at my school...I'm in High School and still playing it. Nothing wrong with that. There are 30 year olds who still watch Barney...I think...

T.W North October 11th, 2004 12:19 AM

Well Im in Year 6 about to go into High School, and people in High School play pokemon all the time. Have you seen the ages for half the people here?

Happy Dude October 11th, 2004 1:10 AM

both of the games r good.ive got leaf green and my brother has fire red.the only difference is the pokemon.

Mr Cat Dog October 11th, 2004 7:06 AM

It's my main game that I use. I don't know why... I just bought it first, then bought Leaf Green as a storage unit for my lovely eggs, and to trade excess Pokemon over to. Simply because I bought FR beforehand, and used it first. That's it really. There's no real difference between the two to start off with. :/

Alex_ October 11th, 2004 7:36 AM

BeameR October 11th, 2004 8:54 AM
