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

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)

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

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

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

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

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






Red! Your eyes are red! You're a very distant
person, and you tend to hunger for power. In a
Manga, you'd be the sexy evil villan. Nothing
wrong with that, although you may want to think
about toning down the killing.

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. ;~;
