I understand this must be a really noob question, but I'm used to pokered disassembly and this seems completely different.

Ah, the IDA with knizz's idb serves as a good reference tool. It's near as useful as commented code, but mainly it's just a database of the functions/data structures in FireRed given names based on functionality. When comparing to raw ASM code, it's easier to understand what's happening. Here are some keyboard shortcuts to make life easier:
x - Pulls up a list of x-references
alt + t - search, supports regular expressions
g - goto address. Include prefix
F5 - attempts to convert ASM to C, as close as possible (sometimes it comes out wrong)
In general, it just makes certain aspects of ASM hacking easier, for example finding things, debugging, and just viewing raw ASM. While I haven't exactly made any tutorials on the subject, I figure it's fairly easy to use once you get started.
