As if you hadn’t played it enough the first two times, Pokémon Red & Blue/Green is getting a facelift for the GBA!
First released in Japan in February of 1996, Pokémon Red and Green (Blue overseas) was the Game Boy game that triggered a worldwide phenomenon. Dengeki Online has revealed that Nintendo and Game Freak are remaking the genre-defining twosome for the GBA in Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green. The sibling titles will feature updated graphics similar to those found in Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire and, most likely, enhanced audio as well.
The biggest feature in Fire Red & Leaf Green is its compatibility with the already released Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire as well as Pokémon Colosseum for the GameCube (coming out November 12th in Japan). This will let die-hard fans truly "collect them all" on one game cartridge and battle them anywhere!
Dengeki also reports the remakes will feature new surprises for seasoned Pokémasters, though the online Japanese magazine gives no further details. No release date has been announced for Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green and it is still unknown whether they will be released outside of Japan.
