Pokemon FR&AB this September!

[Saturos]

April 01, 2004 - Nintendo has announced that the company will release Pokemon: Leaf Green and Pokemon: Fire Red in the US this September. These two games are remakes of Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue released on the original black-and-white Game Boy system nearly a half decade ago.

More than 2 million copies of Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green have been sold in Japan since their launch in January. Like the Japanese version, the US edition will come packaged with a Wireless Adapter, giving players the ability to trade and battle Pokemon as well as chat with other local trainers without the need for a link cable.
This announcement also confirms that Pokemon: Leaf Green will not have a name change to match the release of Pokemon Blue in the states. Clever Pokemaniacs will recall that Nintendo released the Japanese version of Green as Blue in the US.

The games, as well as the Wireless Adapter, will be on demonstration at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in May.

I knew it was going to be released this September stateside!!

It was just as I predicted! The Pokemon Red and Blue were released in September of 1998. The remakes were also released in Japan on the "original" releases of their versions. So the US's releases are doing the same!!

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Thanks for the info. I was kinda hoping that Fire Red/Leaf Green would be released a little earlier in the year, like over the summer, but it really looks like it will definitely be worth the wait. I am looking forward to these games being released.

Why do i get a very suspicious feeling about this?

Believe me, I'm impervious to April Fools jokes. NEVER believe anything you hear on April 1st, since 99.9% of the time its false.

[The Muffin Man]

It's also IGN. They've been known to pull stupid crap like this for hits.

And now they have the perfect alibi.

[Saturos]

Uh, yah, but Japan's original release date for the R/B versions was in Jan.

Not the remakes. I had the issue of the NP telling it's Japanese release date back in 1996 (or was it 95?). Either way, I don't have that issue anymore. I threw it out by accident.

[Dark Sage]

True. The media can really have a field day with their April Fools pranks.

Like I was watching Cartoon Network's Friday's lineup yesterday, and even though it was the 2nd, they had an April Fools prank that was subtle (instead of "Cartoon Fridays". they kept saying it was "Cartoon Tuesdays").

But I hope this isn't some prank. I want to get Fr/Lg before 2004 is out.

I found this information in my Nintendo Power Guide of Pokemon Colosseum:

Pg. 136



CONNECT 'EM ALL!
The world of Pokemon is a vast, thriving place. If you connect Pokemon Colosseum to the games on the GBA, you can draw it all together with surprising results. Orre, Hoenn and Kanto--together the three regions provide a thrilling means for pursuing your dream to be the best Trainer anywhere.


Is that enough proof there?

[Sir Chris]

hmm... Sounds interesting indeed. I am looking forward to these games but they are not the savior of the pokemon series. But it shall be a lot of fun nonetheless.

[Water Pokemon Master]

I would like to add that the games will stay Red and Green. We will not be getting a Blue version this time around unfortunately.

[Sir Chris]

I'd just like to add that was mentioned in the very first post.

also I have been fortunate enough to play shortly on an import of fire red and the gameplay is really fun..

[ShockingAlberto]

Do we have a confirmation yet that it will be Leaf Green or is it going to be Water Blue?

-- ShockingAlberto

[Pewter City Geodude]

All the info about this from various sites says Leaf Green, and it's coming directly from Nintendo, so it's Leaf Green.

[TheDarkHeracross]

Ok, I checked gamestop.com and it said that it comes out 8/2/2004... but then I saw on ebay that they have the english version out for sale there? How are they selling it if the game is not out until 8/2? O_o

The English versions of Fire Red/Leaf Green have not yet been released, so they are selling counterfeits. The only language that Fire Red/Leaf Green have been released in so far is Japanese. These people on eBay that claim that they have English versions of Fire Red/Leaf Green are simply not being honest.

[Ferilian]

If this isn't already confirmed enough, I emailed Nintendo and the release date is September 2004! I also asked if it would be red and green or red and blue. They didn't specify, but they said that the games are meant to be remakes of Japan's red and green, not our red and blue. However, they did say that they aren't sure yet and still working on whether it will be green or blue. I hope it's blue! :orange:

[Water Pokemon Master]

Could you post the email?

[Dark Sage]

I went into a GameStop store today, and they said the release date was even earlier than September - August 8th. And they were so certain of it, they were accepting reservations.

- Venusaur

[Ferilian]

Sure, here it is:

Seeing how Pokemon Leaf Green/Fire Red were remakes of the original Japanese versions of the games (Pokemon Red/Green), I'm not sure if these games will be remakes of the U.S. version of the games (Pokemon Red/Blue). In any case, these games are estimated for a September 2004 release, so there's still plenty of time to work out all the details. When news breaks, it's be featured on our web site and in Nintendo Power magazine, so stay tuned for all the latest Pokemon news!

I think I summed it up right, or maybe I misunderstood. But there's the raw thing, so yeah...

[Dark_Alakazam]

I'm still thinking about if I want this game or not....I mean, buying remakes is one thing....like a remake of a game you had for nes or snes.....but a remake on the same system? :oh:

I'm not sure if those old pokemon are worth my $50 canadian.....It's not like I can't just trade and get them. Especially considering more than half of G/S pokemon aren't even in it. Then there is the "non legit" ways of getting ubers....not even really there unless you cheat.


I don't know....maybe my bro will get leaf green and I can just trade for Charmander and some other favs.....instead of me forking over cash and playing 2 pokemon games at the same time.... :no:

[Crystalmaster Mike]

I'm still thinking about if I want this game or not....I mean, buying remakes is one thing....like a remake of a game you had for nes or snes.....but a remake on the same system? :oh:

In what way is a GBA still the same system as the old GameBoy? I mean really, there's quite the difference between the two.

[Dark_Alakazam]

Considering my old Pokemon Red works on my Gameboy Advance SP, why would I buy it again? Graphics aren't the world my friend and I definatly will not pay so much money simply to obtain old pokemon. The "new" areas aren't enough to entice me either.

Its not like I better go run out and buy every little game with "poke" on the front. Ruby will suffice.

[Crystalmaster Mike]

Okay, if graphics aren't a problem to you, then that's your vision. Anyways, there's more difference than the new areas, like Select, Natures, other Items and all...

But I'm not telling you to buy, buy, buy; it's your money, and your choice, my friend.

[Dark_Alakazam]

Okay, if graphics aren't a problem to you, then that's your vision. Anyways, there's more difference than the new areas, like Select, Natures, other Items and all...


Ahh, but all those things are in ruby are they not? So they are definately not new. Paying for what i already own is not on my todo list. :no:

See, I'm also not one of those people who buys every EA sports game either....buying the same game over and over just isn't my bag baby.

[The Muffin Man]

It's really not the same game. It's the same sense that Super Mario 3(Super Mario Advance 4) is the same game.

Besides, you bought Ruby did you not? "I don't want to buy the same games. Natures, Select, Items aren't enough to buy a new game" :\ Doesn't make much sense.

[Razola]

It's really not the same game. It's the same sense that Super Mario 3(Super Mario Advance 4) is the same game.
More like the sense that Resident Evil on the PS1 is the same as on the Gamecube...sorta. The graphics have been beefed up, and it's got all the features of Gold/Silver and Ruby/Sapphire.

For those that complain, I ask you: if a Diamon version (like Yellow and Crystal versions) had been released this September instead, would you have bought that? And that's just a remake of a game that's barely a year old.

[rinku]

I'll certainly be buying at least one (hopefully Green if they release it as that). I never played RB on a handheld, only emulator, so that is a plus for me. The difference in graphics and sound isn't just a tweak - it *is* a major overhaul by any criteria, and for me a definite feature. For goodness sake - the originals were in *black and white*!

If I was to compare it to other remakes, I'd probably say more like the revamped Leisure Suit Larry. Same gameplay but oh, so much nicer to play.

[Crystalmaster Mike]

rinku: if you'd owned the cartridge, you could've played it on a GBC or GBA and played it in... *drumrolls* red and blue! And then you could have messed around in the opening screen and change it to e.g. green, yellow, and even negative colors! -_-''

I *miss* negative colors... like one'd miss a minor staying over. Fun at times, but nevertheless a relieve to get freed of.

[Dark_Alakazam]

For those that complain, I ask you: if a Diamon version (like Yellow and Crystal versions) had been released this September instead, would you have bought that? And that's just a remake of a game that's barely a year old.


Err no....why would anyone buy that if it came out? I never bought crystal either. :what:
In the end, I don't see the point in buying a game I already own beefed up with things from another game I already own. At least ruby was a completely new game with diff pokemon and everything...fire red is just like red. I'd end up finishing it in 10 seconds like the original and wonder why the hell I wated my time.

I'll just continue happily playing ruby and training pokemon to play colloseum. I cam do that as long as I wish, no matter how many new ones come out. I'd rather hold out for an entire new pokemon game not just a graphic-enchanced version of one I already own.

[tenchi]

I'm still thinking about if I want this game or not....I mean, buying remakes is one thing....like a remake of a game you had for nes or snes.....but a remake on the same system? :oh: :
ok calling the gba a gb is like calling the gc a nes :nut:

[Scythemantis]

I'm going to get a copy because I wasted almost every unique TM I got in saphirre and need to play through a whole new game anyway. Might as well wait for the one that's got some new/unavailable stuff in it. Plus, my crawdaunt can learn crunch if he levels up just once in fl/lg.

[rinku]

Yeah, I did know that (and Yellow was indeed in colour) but it's still monochromatic, so not really that much different to b&w. My point remains - FRLG graphics are a serious improvement over the originals, and replaying the games is a worthwhile experience in itself for me. But everyone will have their own take on that point.

[Dark_Alakazam]

Hey tenchi....I wish I had an SP like that one in your sig ;)


In all, I'm just playing ruby as it is. I'm not going to argue anymore, buy it if you want its up to you.

[malevolent_Milotic]

i want the reamakes because the originals, number one, were in black and white now the GBs have advanced in color and pokemon itself has advanced a lot up to Ru/Sa. I think it would be neat to play old games with new stuff (like contests) on a different and more advanced system.

[Number1ChanseyFan]

I think it would be neat to play old games with new stuff (like contests) on a different and more advanced system.

Unfortunately, the Pokémon contests are not in Fire Red/Leaf Green. Actually, Fire Red/Leaf Green doesn't even acknowledge the ribbons that you get in Ruby/Sapphire and Colosseum.

As for Fire Red/Leaf Green, I am looking forward to their release. Even if they are basically just remakes of the old R/B/Y games, it will still be fun to play them with the new features, like the islands, and also with the new GB Advance graphics, and with Pokémon that have characteristics and personalities.

[Water Pokemon Master]

It's not just a remake. There are new things such as the new islands.

[Poryhedron]

Yeah, but those are very much tacked on to the end. Until you reach Cinnabar, it's just a remake.

[rinku]

Even before you get to Cinnibar it's not the same experience - special abilities change the balance of the battle game. Also held items if you can get any up to that point (wild pokémon?). Different movesets on most pokémon too.

[tenchi]

[QUOTE="Dark_Alakazam"]Hey tenchi....I wish I had an SP like that one in your sig QUOTE]
so do I dark_alakazam so do I.

and will be geting the games because i'm the head of the pok'emon fans in south norfolk chesapeake VA.
will on the good side tracks :oh:

[Powarun]

That gameboy advance design is supposed to come out June 7 in the states, according to IGN, but how well can you trust IGN?

[Saturos]

Who ever said it was coming out August 2nd?! That's my birthday!!!

Anyways, the Fire Red and Leaf Green (hoping it's Aqua Blue or something...) is being released SEPTEMBER 9!! Check the latest NP issue for details!

HA! Didn't I speculate that it WAS going to be released in September of this year?! Along with IGN's announcement, it isn't false either. Sept. 9 was the original release date of Pokemon Red and Blue, back in 1998. It's the apocolpyse!!

[Pewter City Geodude]

Anyways, the Fire Red and Leaf Green (hoping it's Aqua Blue or something...) is being released SEPTEMBER 9!! Check the latest NP issue for details!

:rolleyes: It's already been confirmed for a while now that it's Leaf Green. That's common knowledge. Deal with it.

[Dark Sage]

Strange.

When I reserved the games at GameStop, and put down my deposit, they said August 2nd.

Maybe I'll drop by and ask them again... Or the NYC Pokemon Center, if they'll even tell me...


- Venusaur

[Saturos]

:rolleyes: It's already been confirmed for a while now that it's Leaf Green. That's common knowledge. Deal with it.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Stupid me...

Anyways, I think that I'll have to retrain all of the Pokemon on the FRLG games to meet Colosseum standards (Lv50).

That'll take a LONG while. I still haven't even raised all of my Pokemon on Ruby to Lv50... Most of them are all at Lv45, so...

Tisk tisk, I have to deal with the fact that my training is a long and slow process...

[drizzt]

Ya its kinda stupid how u need about level 70 pokemon to beat the elite four in fr/lg and u want to compete in level 50cups. Cause i cant wait to be able to have a scizor with swords dance and Silver wind.

Also are all the gold/silver pokemon going to be fr/lg. Cause i heard a rumor that some won't be. I'll be really ticked off if they arnt :mad2:

[Dark Sage]

A few of the Gold/Silver ones are in Fr/Lg, on the Rainbow Islands. Most of them, however, you must Snag in Colosseum and breed to get them in Fr/Lg (or R/S, for that matter).

- Venusaur

[Poryhedron]

All 386 pokémon can be used in Ruby/Sapphire, Colloseum and Fire Red/Leaf Green. The real question is which games you'll need in order to catch or otherwise obtain the species without the aid of a Game Shark, etc.

[Powarun]

Dang, I hope it comes in Aug really, because I just reserved my Pokemon Leaf green, instead of buying Pokemon blue. And I do think its a bit suspicious if Gamestop is taking reservations 4 months in advance.

[Dark Sage]

According to the website run by the NYC Pokemon Center, September 8th is the release date.

I'll ask both stores (the Center was refusing to answer questions for a LONG time about it, but now that they've admitted it has been confirmed, perhaps I'll get some answers).

- Venusaur

[Number1ChanseyFan]

By using every game, (Ruby/Sapphire, Colosseum, and Fire Red/Leaf Green) the only unobtainables would be Mew, Celebi, Lugia, and Dexoys. Lugia is on Island 8, which requires the Mytery Ticket to get to, and Deoxys is on Island 9, which requires the Aurora Ticket to get to. Celebi was only available on the Japanese Colosseum preorder disc. As for Mew, it is really unknown how to get Mew. People that have hacked into the game have found a sprite for Mew that suggests that it should be obtainable somehow. Nobody really knows if there is some sort of trick required to get Mew, or if Nintendo will have promotions that will make Mew available. Nintendo will probably have promotions in the future so that people can get the Mystery Ticket and Aurora Ticket, similar to how Nintendo did the Eon Ticket promotions for Ruby/Sapphire. If you play both Fire Red and Leaf Green, you will be able to obtain all of the original R/B/Y Pokémon. (With the possible exception of Mew.) To get some of the Pokémon, you will need to use a Ditto for breeding. As for how to obtain the G/S/C Pokémon, here is a listing of how to get them.
