It is rumored that Fire Red and Leaf Green is coming out towards the end of May. It is also rumored that Fire Red and Leaf Green is coming out towards the end of summer and beginning of fall.

Simone April 1st, 2004 12:53 PM

Well, information on my site and PPN's indicates that the game may be out in September of this year. You also can pre-order Fire Red and Leaf Green around August sometime. Its not official so i'm not 100% sure, but i have heard alot of things about it, so maybe it is!

Hope this helps in someway. :0)

rampage333 April 3rd, 2004 2:06 AM

[Belove to all my Pokefans...]I hope it will be the best ever that pokemon fire red is on june 9th because its my birthday.i wanna my mum to but that as my present!!!!!!

Steeleon April 3rd, 2004 12:45 PM

I have also heard that fire red and leaf green are due out in the US in September. I dunno for shure though but I cant wait!

MidnightScott April 3rd, 2004 1:23 PM

Re: September Release Date
 
Its true. Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green will not be out until this September...I wish it would come out sooner like before July, because my b-day is in July.

-Scott-

Steeleon April 4th, 2004 6:26 AM

Your right. I do wish it woul dbe out sooner. But oh well I can wait.

HellishHades April 4th, 2004 4:48 PM

It has been confirmed by Nintendo that Fire Red & Leaf Green will be released in September of 2004.

Link: >>>

Lugia April 5th, 2004 4:23 AM

confirmed....................................................
FR/LG will be released on the same day!!!

august 23, 2004 - pre-release date
september, 2004 - actual release date

LanceLite April 5th, 2004 8:03 AM

WOW!!!!!! september is MY birthday!!! i might be able to get the game... along with a gba...

Latios Master April 5th, 2004 1:10 PM

September??? NO!!!!! It can't be that late. It makes Nintendo look bad because r/s came out sooner in the U.S. after the Japan release. It should be right before summer vacation, so everyone can play it over the summer. Having it come out in September just ruins the entire summer. I should send an email to Nintendo about this. We all should. Maybe if everyone from PC asked them to move the release date to May or early June, then maybe it would happen.

Lugia April 6th, 2004 6:18 AM

r u telling v should send a petition to them.... but u know this doesn't matter to those freaks....
i think v let it the way it is!

SykicSyko April 6th, 2004 8:09 PM

hmm...sadness..my bday is sept also :D

Geometric-sama April 6th, 2004 8:12 PM

Will FRLG be out at the same time in the US and Australia?

mewbaby April 8th, 2004 4:32 AM

Satoshi-kun is right, the release dates always come about a few months later. But you can always get the american import from a place called "That'z entertainment" If you are impatient like me.
Thats what I always do, though i don't know how many of these stores there are. I know there is one in lakeside (not sure if you know of it) You could always check to see if there's one near you.
The prices are around £35.00, so thats about the same as the english release prices anyway! They also do japanese imports, but I prefer to have an understanding of whats going on.
Hope this helps.

Juggernaut X April 8th, 2004 1:25 PM

can't wait for it to come out so i can kick your butts.

Someguy-kun April 10th, 2004 10:45 AM

Hihi! Newbie here, and well ... I hear you can get the games pirated off of Ebay.
But I've heard most were fake and yet .........


Well anyway, just to end everyones tension, here it is:

"Fake" is the correct word..... cause those carts are ripped with patched versions of LG/FR from the patches of Jazz and LGTR (SaBa)

chrissmith_uk April 16th, 2004 11:13 AM

About the thing earlier with the UK getting FR/LG after the US..... you could always order them from Amazon.com when they come out and they will deliver them to you (GBAs can play any countries cartridges).

LanceLite April 20th, 2004 8:02 AM

It is official and confirmed that FR/LG will come out in the US on the 6 year anniversary of R/B's US release.

Dirks April 23rd, 2004 7:29 PM

wich is what day again? ... i don know that

Dizzy April 23rd, 2004 7:34 PM

September 28th is what Jess said, and is what I believe to be the date of course.

Aj1 April 23rd, 2004 8:11 PM

yo..this is cool finally all that we have been waiting for the release of Fire Red and Leaf green ..well i am not going to delay any more ...

IT will be released on Sept. 9th 2004

Simon April 23rd, 2004 8:34 PM

sweet. can't wait til fr/lg is out. hmmm...i think i'll get lg

PokemonChampion April 26th, 2004 5:18 PM

Ya i got nintendo power and it said it will be on Sept. 9

PokemonChampion April 26th, 2004 5:20 PM

I also heard that the name might not be leaf green since we never had a green version so they might make it Ocean blue

Isaac 1 April 27th, 2004 6:55 PM

Hi. Sorry to bother you but www.pokemon.com is having a space party thing. You should go check it out. Its between march 29 and june 6. It will be held at some space center. Sorry if you didn't like my posting this. I just chose this place.

Dirks April 28th, 2004 5:48 PM

ya sept ninth i got my NP too it shows them playin the english version tho already ughghgh i'm so jealous

Ytnim April 29th, 2004 10:08 PM

This isn't exact but usually in Australia (well Tassie anyway) gets it about a month later than America from previous experience with other games.

SCEPTILE GUY330 April 30th, 2004 11:35 AM

how did all of u get those avatars and sigs?

STaLIS April 30th, 2004 1:52 PM

go into the user options at the top of the page and look down the nav bar

Shinin April 30th, 2004 4:46 PM

FR/LG is probably coming out in the US in september because there is more to translate and bettter graphics than R/S
i'm pissed off about it too

Solid Reptile May 2nd, 2004 12:50 PM

I think Nintendo is doing this because they first wanna make a lot of money with ruby/sapphire

i dont blame them.. thats the way it goes when you want to get some real bucks out of the world

afther 4 months not counting this one.. they finally will launch fr/lg

im pissed too.. i wish they would bring it in June or something

youngotaku May 5th, 2004 12:28 PM

It Will Be Leaf Green,nintento power said so. They also released the first english screenshots. Along with that, they gave info on the union room. you can have up to 40 trainers in their, but they have to be withen your range of your wireless atapter. You can even IM in there :)

That is the biggest farce ever. It maybe so in Australia (where you got Animal Crossing... grrr), but it's definitely not in the UK. By our standards with Pokemon release dates we won't be seeing them until at least Summer 2005, even Winter... but still. I'm patient...

jynx May 6th, 2004 11:30 PM

UK always need to wait 3quarters of a year to get release dates!
The guy in the game shop told me!

Wanna buy English version early? Import it from Hong Kong!
A lot cheaper and a lot earlier! (Earlier than USA by 2 to 5 days)
Besides, Hong Kong has relationships with UK. (It was a British cologny)

mangeknight2000 May 12th, 2004 2:55 AM

hehehe i already got it lololol

mangeknight2000 May 12th, 2004 2:56 AM

i got it just thismorning too

AJHalliwell May 12th, 2004 11:21 AM

(double posting!)
haha, i don't care, but lots of people seem to hate it sincerly.
I want it! WAH! I have the Japanese Rom, but trust me- not the same. Intresting though. It should come out in summer, lots more people'd buy it. And America is (seemingly) always the first to get it because pokemon's popularity was highest here (next to Japan of coarse).
And I don't see why Australia and the UK just don't buy the American version- is there a difference? I know they speak English x_x ::is gonna feel like an idiot in a hilariouse way in a few I bet::
The Cartrige games are on Ebay; just without the box and book. (bootleg? I dunno)

...Oh, and the release date IS Sept. 9th in america. I thouht it was 8th for a while for some reason n.n'

Blitz~2005 May 13th, 2004 3:16 AM

um does any 1 know the exact date 4 Australia (tasmainia) :D coz us release isnt much use if u dont live there lol i know that ytnim said 1 month after us but is there some1 els 2 back that up :p not that i dont trust ytnim its just that its not an exact date or anything lol

Daniel-Son May 14th, 2004 6:53 PM

I'm going to take a guess for Australia...I'd say February 2005, what do you think?

awkwardsilencer May 15th, 2004 7:48 AM

australians, and all u other non us people, just order it from the us? , like order it form ebgames.com or something. dont u all speak the same language? lol

TRIFORCE89 May 16th, 2004 6:15 AM

All I read was the first post so I'm sorry if tis was already said. Pokémon FireRed Pokémon LeafGreen (that's right no spaces between Fire and Red or Leaf and Green) are scheduled to be released roughly around September 15th of this year. The titles are mentioned are official. No spaces and its not going to be WaterBlue. Trust me I've seen the North American box art.

Poke'gangster May 16th, 2004 8:49 AM

All I know is that it is coming out on September 9 2004, I don't know if this is true but it will be called Pokemon blue and red advance according to a magazine, and you can chose if you want to be male or female, You can trade with Ruby and Saphire to get a national dex,You can see a screenshot at www.Pokemon.com

*WAITS TILL POKEMON GOLD,SILVER AND CRYSTAL ADVANCE COME OUT*
SWEET!!!!!!

awkwardsilencer May 16th, 2004 9:03 AM

lol go to pokemon.com, it says they are red and green... it also says the date of sept 9 2004, and so just follow the site, youll know if they change the date if it is changed at the site.

Mikoudi May 17th, 2004 5:53 AM

Getting closer and closer. Can't wait! >w<

Poke'gangster May 17th, 2004 5:12 PM

OK whatever......
I think there is a walkthrough of Fire Red and Leaf Green......
I admit I was wrong about the name.......
the walkthrough is at www.pojo.com I think!!!

*waits till Pokemon Ruby and Saphire advance come out*
sweetness!!!!

Poke'gangster May 17th, 2004 5:16 PM

Ooops I got the wrong website!!!!
I'm sorry for double posting....
well you could still search on www.google.com...
*waits till Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green 2 come out*
SWEETNESS!!!!!!!!

AJHalliwell May 17th, 2004 5:25 PM

Hm, with being able to trade with Sapphire&Ruby you can get ALL the pokemon! WOO HOO! (Well; eventually) Wow, thats alot of trading. Can Ruby+Sapphire trade with Gold&Silver (and crystal)?
And its common knolage there will be no WaterBlue! Everyone please stop repetaing it!

Aedan May 18th, 2004 6:15 AM

Oh.. I just noticed on the screenshots- apparently you get to choose between Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle again, which means the games will not follow the plotline in the episodes. Lousy. I guess we will have to wait for LightningYellow then or something.

Oh well. I'll but them anyway :D

It would be cool though, if nintendo would release a game where you can follow in Ashs footsteps, all the way from Pokemon Yellow, through Gold/Silver/Crystal and to Ruby/Sapphire.

I cant wait to train a Persian again :D

Lucifer. May 19th, 2004 9:41 AM

Why would it follow the plotline of the anime? The games and cartoons are seperate, and they should stay that way.

Zeo May 20th, 2004 1:51 AM

as much as I agree with you, I still think it would be cool if after Pokemon is finally cancelled (God Forbid) that a Game that follows Ash's Pokemon Journey almost exactly would be pretty darn cool.

also. I apologise if this has been answered/asked many times before, but is there any news on the possible AU Release Date?

Lucifer. May 20th, 2004 1:57 AM

Well I've heard it's October 1st for the UK (I honestly find that hard to believe, but hey), so probably around the same time as that.

Aedan May 21st, 2004 1:04 AM

Well.. the plot in Yellow tried to follow the plot in the episodes, but og well.. Im actually almost certain we will get LightningYellow as well.. If FireRed and LeafGreen get good sales, that is..

Kabutops May 23rd, 2004 10:17 AM

Pokemon FR/LG are coming out on Sept. 9, 2004. I heard that you can get a wild deoxys on those versions and can trade them to Colosseum and Ruby/Sapphire.

^^NICK^^ v.3.0 June 5th, 2004 7:42 PM

Cool, there are two great releases in september (including Degrassi Season 1 on dvd)! I'm going to get LeafGreen first, and if possible, both at the same time.

I have no idea which one I'm going to get first...
probably Fire Red....
And Lady C in your sig is so S**y...
Your sig. rocks!!!
What is the difference between these two games anyway?

Eliana June 6th, 2004 11:03 AM

Yeah do we know what the differences between em are yet?

mewbaby June 9th, 2004 3:53 AM

i can`t wait for it to come out in england and uk.
i am happy there is a green colour coming out but why another red colour?

TeamRocket June 11th, 2004 1:40 PM

We all must have seen the fake sooner or later on this forum, another pokemon site, or ebay and let me just tell you why I can tell you it is fake:
- No mention of the wireless reciever. This is FR/LG's best feature including the Union Room and the wireless indicator comes free with the game no matter what.

Toothache June 19th, 2004 12:36 PM

Hey, when you guys include dates, any chance you could include US and UK dates at the same time? Kind of makes it confusing and annoying when someone just puts one date and assumes it's the same for everyone...

Thanks in advance :-)

Megasupercoolcoolguy June 28th, 2004 2:41 AM

while your at it, do you know that on average New Zealand gets stuff the latest? i mean, why? just cos we're cool and have our own natives (who are slowly dying out by the way) and have loads of native animals and plants...okay back to games anybody know when come out in NZ?
and can you catch all the pokemon or just trade them?

Lit3_Serebii June 28th, 2004 3:23 PM

I heard and saw on a few website that Pokemon FR/LG already came out in japanese version but the english version is coming out in September...soo wait ppl!! hehe :D

games2k4 June 28th, 2004 7:21 PM

As I recently read Nintendo Power the these games will not officialy be out till September. However, it would be awsome if they decided to get them out before then.

I've got the Japanese versions and must admist great deal more fun then the 1st 3 games.

mewbaby July 19th, 2004 4:23 AM

i have heard lots about fire/flame red and leaf green
i am not sure about ocean blue

they need diffrent colours other than red and blue because
it is getting a bit boring now.
i can`t wait for them to come out

Kelo July 19th, 2004 10:31 AM

just to help everybody Nintedo power said that North american Relese date is on sept 9 2004. you could play up to viridan forest at E3 where they had a couple demo booths. Supposedly someone managed to steal a game, take out the block and pirate it for places like gamestop and ebay

Hakudoushi-kun July 22nd, 2004 6:18 PM

i heard some people already have an english cartridge. is this true? (i gotta get going and get one then)

Fakey July 23rd, 2004 3:08 PM

About the names, Green is taking place of blue. In Japan, they had Red and green, followed by all the other versions. For america, for some reason, Nintendo changed it to Blue. Now, the return to green for the remakes.

Shadow July 23rd, 2004 3:14 PM

images - What they got was a Japanese ROM with a translation patch put onto a blank GBA cartridge, or they are lying all together. There are no official English FR/LG except for the demos from E3 (which only went up to Viridian Forest) and if someone has them that you know of, then you should report them to Nintendo and/or the police for theft.

Fakey - Japan got Red and Green. Then a little bit later they got Blue version. Then Gamefreak translated Japan's Blue version and split it into two versions, our Red and Blue. So our Red version is not the same as Japan's. FR/LG are remakes of the original Pokemon games, not English Red/Blue, so that's why there is no Ocean/Water Blue. English Blue and Japanese Green are not the same game >.< It's a very common misconception.

Max of Pallet town July 24th, 2004 4:42 PM

ooo i always thought that green was a added verison after blue :P

Castrainer July 25th, 2004 11:57 AM

Nintendo annouced the realese date as September 7th, not 9th!
I read that in every website <.<

Y.R.P. July 25th, 2004 8:31 PM

Will there be a remake of yellow?

Simon July 25th, 2004 9:35 PM

I hope not. But if there is it'll probably be called Thunder Yellow or something.

Castrainer July 25th, 2004 9:36 PM

Bah... Thunder Yellow is so annoying... I would prefer something like Static Yellow ^_^

Simon July 25th, 2004 9:49 PM

Lightning Yellow, Golden Yellow and Shining Yellow. Lots of names could be made, but they'll probably choose the easiest and worst one. Just like they did with FireRed and LeafGreen.

Castrainer July 25th, 2004 9:55 PM

*shots Bazooka on Game Freak*
It has to be StaticYellow! XD
GraniteYellow is weird XD

Simon July 25th, 2004 9:57 PM

Or Yellow Snow...

Let's get back on topic eh?

Max of Pallet town July 27th, 2004 7:04 PM

:P no no lighting yellow is ok orstatic whats wrong with thunder yellow? :P

Simon July 27th, 2004 7:39 PM

Thunder is a sound, not a colour. And with that said, any attack starting with "Thunder" should be renamed as I don't see how sound can hurt anything on such a low level of noise.

Toothache July 28th, 2004 9:12 PM

Hey, you've all been talking about US release dates, but no mention of a European release date? Any ideas when that might be, for us British folks? (and the rest of Europe too)

Makoto July 29th, 2004 9:29 AM

wooooooooooaaaaaaah..... if you highlight the normal smilies(not pokemon head) they look really weird.... like they look like comletely different smilies.... these ones change: :knockedou :embarrass :paranoid: :shocked: :D :( :nervous: ;) :rambo: :confused: :classic: :laugh: :) :cheeky: :badsmile: :cool: :bandit: :P :dead: :surprised :chinese: :\ :cross-eye :sleeping: :disappoin :'( :nervous: :(

all but cheeky and tired look funny.....

Abusoru July 29th, 2004 9:52 AM

Interesting... but what does that have to do with the topic of the thread?

latias master August 3rd, 2004 6:48 AM

is it true that fire red and leaf green pokemon look different because i was on serebii.net and it showed that deoxys looked totally different on leaf green than on fire red

Dirks August 3rd, 2004 9:00 AM

yeah and they have totally diff stats the FR deoxy is all out attack power with a base stat for attack of 150 and sp attack of 150 i think speed ain't to shabby either
the LG deoxys is the exact oppisite it starts with a base Defence and sp defence of 150. the normal deoxys sucks cuz it's all in between. so you all know you should get the FR version right??? lol atleast i am

Toothache August 12th, 2004 11:12 PM

I hate to repeat myself, but I will, because my previous post was either glossed over or ignored.

What's the European release date for FR and LG? Does anyone know?
